Why did the jamestown settlement almost fail?

History
1 answer:
Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Its swampy location had a lot of disease.

Settlers were more interested in looking for gold than planting crops

They could not work together very well at first

Explanation:

Back in 1609-10, more than eighty percent of the people who were in Jamestown died from either disease or starvation. The survivors abandoned the area, although they ended up going back after they found, in the James River, a convoy with supplies. Jamestown was swampy and isolated. Mosquitoes were a plague. It was complicated to get in and out and had little space, which helped a lot for the diseases to spread out.

Besides all that, it seems that the colony took too long to learn how to work together and settlers hunted for gold rather than plant crops.

In many ways, it is very surprising that Jamestown did not fail.

Which Asian country defeated Russia in war and gained control of Manchuria and Korea? A. Indochina B. Thailand C. Japan D. Taiwa
lora16 [44]
I won't go into too much details but the Asian country that defeated Russia in war, namely the Russo-Japanese war(1904-05) was Japan.

It was a conflict based on good military strategy. It all started because Japan wanted Korea as a province but Russia did not allow that to happen so Japan tried to negotiate to get Korea in exchange that Russia could keep Manchuria but Russia refused and negotiations broke down so Japan thought of an alternative...war. 

Japan knew that Russia had a massive army but Japan had a very mobile and well trained army so they used that to their advantage. So the Japanese fleet open fired on the Russia Eastern Fleet in Port Arthur which eventually got destroyed. As Russia suffered humiliating defeats, the country thought it could beat Japan but Japans strategy proved superior so they defeated Russia in many battles. So in order to prevent a total "defeat", Russia asked for Peace (U.S as the middleman)which gave Japan some of what it wanted but not all. This caused both countries to be dissatisfied...
