Answer:
Correct answer is across the Atlantic Ocean
.
Explanation:
First option is correct because seven locations are shown that went across Atlantic. Of course, this refers to slave trade that led from Western Africa to America.
Second and last options are not correct as only three locations are leading towards Southwestern Asia, which of course leads across Indian Ocean.
Third option is also not correct as Europe is not mentioned except Spain.
The two reasons:
- Britain intercepted the Zimmerman Telegram
- Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare
Context/detail:
Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, <em>Lusitania</em> -- but that happened before 1917. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.
Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks. But a couple years later they resumed such attacks, and there was also an intercepted telegram (the "Zimmerman Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.
In 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response.
Autocratic rule, serfdom and defeat in the Crimean War circumstances were a major cause of Russian weakness in the mid-1800s.
<u>Answer:</u> Option A, D and F
<u>Explanation:</u>
Russia and most of Europe were in a state of animosity when Alexander I took the throne in March 1801. Russia appeared as the largest land force in Europe, and the first of the European victors over Napoleon. In such initiatives the enormous prestige gained was retained until the mid-century.
However, the Crimean War between 1853–56 showed this giant had clay feet. Under very mediocre rule, the massive empire was unable to raise, arm and bring enough troops to overpower the medium-sized French and English powers. Nicholas suffered in the bitter awareness of failure at large.
