The United States won the battle of Cape Esperance on the northwest coast of Guadalcanal Island against the Japanese reinforcements that came at night. The Japanese hoped to position themselves to have a direct route to Austria and to New Zealand wich Japan hoped to capture in their quest for territorial expansion. The US navy harrassed Japanese ships and by 1942 the Japanese were ready to evacuate the island in defeat. The US basic strategy was "island hopping" which was taking one island at a time from the Japanese occupation.

Many americans have questioned whether fighting the korean war was worthwhile. what is your opinion and why?

Brilliant_brown [7]

Korea was ruled by Japan from 1910 until the closing days of World War II. In August 1945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, as a result of an agreement with the United States, and liberated Korea north of the 38th parallel. U.S. forces subsequently moved into the south. By 1948, as a product of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States, Korea was split into two regions, with separate governments. Both governments claimed to be the legitimate government of all of Korea, and neither side accepted the border as permanent. The conflict escalated into open warfare when North Korean forces—supported by the Soviet Union and China—moved into the south on 25 June 1950.

Which event occurred during the Mesozoic era?

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Pangaea, the super continent, began to break apart during the Mesozoic era.

Explanation:

The distinct pieces of lands that today make seven different continents were once a single piece of land named Pangaea.

Over a period of millions of years, this large lump of land gradually broke into several different pieces that slowly drifted apart from each other.

Most of this breaking happened in the Mesozoic era that lasted for around 180 million-odd years. This period is said to have begun about 250 million years ago.
