What challenges did the United States encounter during the construction of the canal?

1 answer:

6 0

There were many obstacles to such a project. The first was Great Britain. Fearing that either side would build an is thmathian canal and use it for national advantage, the United States and Great Britain agreed in the 1850Clayton-Bulwer Treaty that neither side would build such a canal. A half century later, the now dominant United States wanted to nullify this deal. Great Britain, nervous about its South African Boer War and an increasingly cloudy Europe, sought to make a friend in the United States. The Hay-Pauncefote Treaty permitted the United States to build and fortify a Central American canal, so long as the Americans promised to charge the same fares to all nations. One roadblock was clear.

Why did the Roman Empire collapse

Answer:

-barbarian tribes

-economic troubles

-over reliance on slave labor

-over expansion

-Corrupt Government

Explanation:

The barbarian tribes that frightened The Roman Empire were the Franks, Vandals, Saxons, and Visigoths. These tribes would destroy towns by stealing from religious sights and the townspeople. They would sometimes burn down houses or the religious places, such as churches.

The Roman Empire economic troubles were inflation, decrease in trade and unemployment. There was a drop in value of money and raise in prices. Raiders would also destroy trading ships.

Feudalism was the politico-economic system of relationships between lords and feudatories. Everything that the lower classed worked for, was given to their lord. However, once the spread of disease overcame the empire, many of the serfs (slaves in the lowest class, otherwise known as untouchables,) were beginning to die drastically. As this was happening, the feudalism system began to collapse. Lords couldn’t farm without their slaves doing it for them.

It was very expensive to be expanded the way the Roman Empire was. They stretched from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to Euphrates river. It was hard to keep everything in order with the declining profit from trade and employment.

Military spending was an obsession, and this caused a major decline in the economy. Thus, causing the perpetual drain of the empires economy.

What issue continued to divide the country in the early 1800s?

NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Westward Expansion

During the 1800’s, American citizens packed up and headed West to the new unknown land of the United States of America. Western expansion was a great part of the growth of the

United States because it gave Americans new land to settle, expanded its economy, and made the

United States a world power. The desire to expand was described by newspaper editor John

O’Sullivan who wrote, it is America’s “Manifest Destiny to overspread and to possess the whole of the continent”.

First of all, westward expansion benefited the United States by increasing the area of settled property. This property included many different types of land. Farmers were able to buy fertile farmland cheaply in states like Iowa, Nebraska, and…show more content…

Tens of thousands of people moved, creating future cities like San Francisco and Denver. The completion of the transcontinental railroad connected the Atlantic and Pacific coasts allowing for the shipping of goods across the country. Western farm products like wheat, corn, beef, and poultry were shipped east to feed the growing number of workers in factories in cities like Philadelphia,

Boston, and New York. The increase in land, natural resources, and industry gave the United

States a larger role in the world.

Finally, westward expansion secured the United States by pushing foreign powers off of the continent. By controlling both coasts, the country was protected by the oceans, therefore separating it from the other continents. Through the Monroe Doctrine, the United States eliminated European colonization in the Western hemisphere and became its most powerful nation. Through development of industry, the United States was able to grow as a manufacturing and trading power. As industry grew immigrants poured into the “land of opportunity” seeking what became known around the world as the “American dream”.
