In 1609, two years after English settlers established the colony of Jamestown in Virginia, the Dutch East India Company hired English sailor Henry Hudson to find a northeast passage to India. After unsuccessfully searching for a route above Norway, Hudson turned his ship west and sailed across the Atlantic. Hudson hoped to discover a "northwest passage," that would allow a ship to cross the entirety of the North American continent and gain access to the Pacific Ocean, and from there, India. After arriving off the coast of Cape Cod, Hudson eventually sailed into the mouth of a large river, today called the Hudson River. Making his way as far as present-day Albany before the river became too shallow for his ship to continue north, Hudson returned to Europe and claimed the entire Hudson River Valley for his Dutch employers.

Some famous female roles in the history of opera have only been possible because 19th-century composers started giving important
Inessa05 [86]

Some famous female roles in the history of opera have only been possible because 19th-century composers started giving important roles to mezzo-sopranos.

By the Baroque period (1600-1750), opera had taken Europe by storm, a spectacular and expensive affair filled with ornate arias and elaborate sets with moving parts. One of the greatest composers of Italian baroque opera was George Friedrich Handel (1685-1759), a German who spent most of his life in London.

This period also saw the emergence of castrati, male singers who were castrated as boys to maintain their soprano voices. Those who survived to come out on top were the singing stars of the 17th and 18th centuries. Today these roles are sung by countertenors or women.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

D) Allied forces captured Osama bin Laden and several al-Qaeda leaders

Explanation:

The invasion of Afghanistan didn't really brought any change for the ordinary people of the country as the country was and still is in big mess and is extremely dangerous. The US and its allies though managed to get hold of most of the country, with only small parts remaining under extremist control, and they managed to get the men they wanted, Osama bin Laden and his closest collaborates. By capturing and murdering them, the US and its allies practically eliminated the leadership of al-Qaeda which resulted in rapid and big decline of this terrorist organization.
