Answer: a.
United Kingdom
Explanation:
France took control of most parts of West Africa. Colonial rule was the result of competition among European countries for control of African resources.
The Phoenician economy was supported by trading via seas and applying money, which were invented by that nation.
Copernicus was going up against everything and everyone, namely the Church. Copernicus would put forth the idea the heliocentric universe. This meant that the sun was at the center and not the earth. This could be taken to mean (and was by many) that God had not placed Man at the Center of the Universe. The idea that there was more that could occupy God than our existence and we were not the most important creature or thing was mind blowing.
Answer:
B. Bantu Peoples
Explanation:
During the classical era, the Bantu peoples started to migrate from their homeland in the eastern part of Western Africa. The growing population needed more resources, and the Bantu tribes started to move towards areas that provided more resources, both for them and for raising cattle. Since on the north it was the Sahel and Sahara, the Bantu peoples moved south, below the equator. This part of Africa was largely dominated by savanna, which had an abundance of animals for hunting, as well as vast grasslands for the cattle to graze. Little by little, the Bantu peoples were taking over more and more territory, becoming gradually the largest ethnic group in Africa, and managing to reach the southernmost and easternmost coastlines of the continent.
Later groups of immigrants, like the Italians, Polish, and the Jewish were treated very poorly when they came to the US in the 1900s. Many immigrants were funneled into urban ghettos, areas with poor living quarters resulting in high levels of death and disease. By the 1920s, the United States was reeling from its involvement in World War I and entered a period of isolationism. This was marked partly by a withdrawal from world affairs, but also a negative view on immigrants entering the country. In the early 1920s, the US passed the Immigration Quota Act which restricted the number of immigrants allowed to enter the country. President Warren G Harding's election based on a "return to normalcy" reflected the idea that Americans disliked immigrants who maintained cultural and linguistic ties to their homelands.
