Answer:

The correct answer is B. Robert Fulton built the first successful steamboat.

Explanation:

Robert Fulton was an American engineer and inventor.  In England, he began to practice engineering, in particular steam engines, and made numerous inventions regarding duct construction. In 1793 he made a first plan to operate steamboats. After 1797, Fulton in Paris continued his studies and experiments. There he proposed, among other things, an underwater boat, called Nautilus, which was armed with blasting balls, which he called "torpedoes". The proposal was offered to both the French and English government, but was rejected by them. Even the steamboat which he built and which, in 1803, with great success made his test tour of Seine, attracted little notice among the Parisians.  

Fulton, who entered into a company with the American envoy in Paris, moved in 1806 to New York, where in 1807 he built the first steamboat, which came into practical use and yielded some return. This steamboat, Clermont, which was 42.67 meters long and had a machine of 20 horsepower, sailed, among other things, on the Hudson River between New York and Albany. The steamboat trade in New York, on which Fulton was first granted exclusive privilege, soon spread to the great American rivers and greatly accelerated the colonization and development of the surrounding states.

Was the American involvement in Korean War a good idea
nignag [31]

Answer:

Yeah...it was a good idea because it was a war against the forces of international communism itself

Explanation:

The Korean War (1950-1953) began when the North Korean Communist army crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded non-Communist South Korea. As Kim Il-sung's North Korean army, armed with Soviet tanks, quickly overran South Korea, the United States came to South Korea's aid. ... This Chinese army attacked the US/UN/ROK forces.

The Cold War was an important cause in the Korean War. Relations between the two occupying powers were bad and when China became Communist in October 1949, the President of the USA, Harry Truman, was very worried that other countries around China may also become Communist, such as Japan.

This decision coincided with the United States withdrawing the last remaining combat troops from South Korea. North Korea saw its opportunity and attacked South Korean forces at the 38th parallel on June 25, 1950 and thus initiating the Korean War.

This invasion was the first military action of the Cold War. By July, American troops had entered the war on South Korea's behalf. As far as American officials were concerned, it was a war against the forces of international communism itself.
