I found this on this site hope it helps

When Napoleon needed money, he sold Jefferson the Louisiana Purchase, which he had acquired when he conquered Spain. To find out what he'd just purchased, Jefferson sent Merriweather Lewis and William Clark to explore it. It covered an area from Louisiana northward to Missouri and across the biggest part of the Great Plains and Northwest. The team which went with them included such diverse people as Sacajawea, a Shoshone Indian and her baby Lewis's slave, French trappers, woodsmen, and other interpreters. Lewis concentrated on cataloging what they found, such as the various Native American tribes, animals, and plants, and mapping the region, while Clark was the woodsman who led the expedition. They went through many hardships, though miraculously only one member of the expedition died over the several years they were gone. At one point they were starving in the Rocky Mountains--there was not enough fat on the deer they shot to keep them alive. They found an Indian tribe to barter with, but the chief refused to deal with them until Sacajawea walked in--she was his sister, who had been kidnapped from the tribe at the age of 5! Needless to say, they got their food. They made it to the Pacific Ocean, where they then split into two groups, one of which took a more southerly route back.

Why did the government of Iran have difficulty preventing information from getting out of the country during the 2009 election p
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The government of Iran had difficulty preventing information from getting out of the country during the 2009 election protests because ordinary citizens used thousands of different Internet file sharing sites and e-mail accounts, as well as Twitter, to transmit information.

Explanation:

On June 12, 2009, presidential elections were held in Iran, the favorite of which was the reform candidate Mir Hosejn Musavi. The next day, it was announced that the acting head of state, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, had received more than two-thirds of the votes. Mousavi marked the results from being falsified and his followers took to the streets. They wore green ribbons (the color of Mousavi's election campaign), uniting liberal clergy, secular intellectuals and national minorities (Musavi is of Azerbaijani origin). Hundreds of thousands of people marched through Tehran, where initially peaceful events grew into violence. The protests spread to other cities, and Iranians living abroad also joined. The core of the movement was students using social networks to organize demonstrations.

How are the army and religious beliefs linked in the Aztec Empire?​
Helen [10]

Answer:

Religion, with several public ceremonies aimed to win their gods' favor, was a key element of the Aztec Empire.

Explanation:

Human sacrifices for the Sun God was one of the most significant rites and required a constant supply of prisoners of war, who were killed as offerings to the gods. This meant that the Aztec military had to constantly find new conquests and apply war practices that allowed them to keep prisoners alive for the sacrifices.
