Yorktown sits on a hill overlooking the York River. Which can be great, if you can keep provisioned.

Mercantilism is an economic policy that thrived beginning in the 1500s. It was one of the driving forces behind colonization and imperialism.
- A country wanted to gain as much wealth as possible. One way to accomplish this goal was to implant a<u> </u><u><em>favorable balance of trade</em></u>. This meant the country exported more goods (sold) than it imported (bought). Essentially, the wealth flowing into the nation was greater than the money leaving.
- The countries needed a way to create this balance. So, they began to colonize. <u><em>Colonie</em></u><em>s </em>were incredibly valuable because they had natural resources. The mother country extracted the resources from the colony, produced goods in the country, and then sold them back to the colony. This practice maximized their wealth, gold, silver, and power.
The best answer choice must be D. Build the nation's gold and silver reserves by exporting more goods than it imported.
The correct answer is D) Stalin was growing increasingly suspicious of the United States and Britain, and Truman and Attlee were growing increasingly suspicious of the USSR.

Answer:
Three new weapons first used in WW1 were Tanks, Gas, and portable machine guns
Explanation:
TANKS - Tanks allowed for allied soldiers to cross the barren wasteland of no-mans-land, which effectively allowed for the war to end sooner. Tanks also shaped the whole of world war 2
GAS - Gas made people question what was human about war, and were did it go too far. Gas also gave the axis a advantage over the allies, and set a massive anti-gas production into affect (like making gas masks)
portable MACHINE GUNS - this invention has shaped war as we know it. The ability to kill multiple people in one clip increased the number of people killed in the war.
hope this helps :)
