On his first voyage, Columbus claimed San Salvador, Cuba and Hispaniola as Spanish possessions. He built a fort and left behind Spanish soldiers to hunt for gold on Hispaniola, while he returned to Spain. (These men were later murdered by the inhabitants of the island for mistreating them.) On his second voyage, Columbus took a thousand Spanish colonists to settle in Hispaniola. This was the first European colony in the ‘New World’. These colonists fought among themselves and with the inhabitants of the island. They were greedy and complained that there was not enough gold to make them all rich. They were given land and allowed to force the indigenous people to work for them, but they were still not satisfied. The colonists were also responsible forintroducing foreign epidemic diseases such as influenza, smallpox, measles and typhus, which drastically reduced the indigenous population in the Caribbean within 50 years.

Which statement explains Bryan's reason for giving this speech?

lorasvet [3.4K]

first, and foremost, it never makes clear what on Earth the problem is that it’s addressing; and second, it is written in the bombastic 19th-century style that thrives on rhetorical flourishes and long, drawn-out analogies. Thus it’s hard for modern-day readers to make much headway through Cross of Gold.

Which of the following is not required to become a naturalized United States citizen

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Having fingerprints recorded is not one of the requirements to become a naturalized United States citizen.

Explanation:

Naturalization of a non-native person is the process in which that same person is admitted by a foreign nation to become a citizen. In order to become a naturalized citizen of the United States, the person has to meet certain requirements. Some of them are: being at least 18 years old of age when applying, being already a permanent resident of the United States or a green-card holder, getting a passing score in the US history and government exam, showing good moral, and showing an attachment to the principles that the US constitution represents. Having fingerprints recorded is not one of the requirements, in fact once the person meets the requirements needed and starts the process of naturalization, that is when the government takes the person's biometrics, that include recording her/his fingerprints.

Answer: I believe that it is B

Why? The Marshall Plan was an American initiative passed in 1948 for foreign aid to Western Europe. The United States transferred over $12 billion in economic recovery programs to Western European economies after the end of World War ll.

Also you can do process of elimination and say
A makes no sense
C is prohibiting the export of “arms, ammunition, and implements of war” from the United States to foreign nations at war
D again really makes no since
E was put into law by our 5th president in 1823 (World War 11 happened in the 1940s)

So it has to be B

Hope this helps :D
