Answer:

The correct answer is A. Fighting began in Lexington and Concord when British troops came to arrest colonial leaders and take colonial weapons.

Explanation:

After the dissolution of the Boston Assembly in Boston by the British, it continued to secretly meet in Concord as a provincial congress. They decided the province would create a militia of 12,000 men, of which a quarter would be so-called minutemen, soldiers who could be ready at very short notice. It was also decided to purchase twenty field guns, four mortars, twenty tons of ammunition for the artillery and five thousand muskets and bayonets.

After taking control of Boston, the British commander, Thomas Gage, proposed that the Revolutionary Committees be broken up and that all radical leaders be arrested and brought to trial in London for treason. The political establishment in London walked Gage's line and gave him free hands to continue inland and arrest the leaders of the riots in Boston and "those who destroyed the tea". In the spring of 1775, the decision was made to arrest the revolutionaries Samuel Adams and John Hancock. When it became widely known, they took refuge in Lexington. In Concord there was also a cache that Gage wanted to confiscate. To find out how strong the rebels were around Lexington and Concord, Gage sent out two spies who would travel from Boston to Concord disguised as workers. One was quickly revealed, but the other reported back that even if the British were to march out with ten thousand regular soldiers with artillery, not a single one would come back alive. Gage did not think the resistance would be so great. On the morning of April 19, he sent a squad of 800 men to arrest Adams and Hancock and seize the weapons stockpile.

It was during the night of April 19 that Paul Revere made his famous ride to ward off the rebels. Revere signaled that the British troops made their way across the Charles River by lighting two lanterns in the bell tower at Old North Church in Boston. He then rode with the warning from Charlestown to Lexington and Concord.

Alexxandr [17]

Even though the US and the Soviet Union fought as allies during World War II, the alliance crumbled with the end of the war. During the Potsdam Conference, the US wanted to contain the spread of the Soviets and the communist influence in Western Europe.


During Kennedy’s presidential campaign the Cold War theme was strongly present. During his inaugural address, he addressed the contest between the free world and the communists. The Bay of Pigs plan was a disaster, the entire force was killed or captured and Kennedy took responsibility for it.

After that Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev met in Austria, the meeting was not so peaceful because Khrushchev threatened to cut the access from the allies to Berlin, this led to the construction of the Berlin Wall.

In 1962 the Russians stated to supply nuclear missiles to Cuba, Kennedy responded by placing a naval blockade around Cuba, with this Khrushchev removed the missiles. At the end of Kennedy’s presidency, the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty softened the tensions and Washington and Moscow established a direct line of communication known as the "hotline".
