<u>The Spanish-American war:</u>
The United States was not prepared for the war. Even though Americans had those enthusiastic spirit, they desperately lacked military strength. The United States Army was not prepared and aware.
They were understaffed, under equipped and under trained. The United States emerged as a world power after the result of victory over Spain in Spanish American War.
The United States gained possession over Guam, Puerto Rico and Philippines after the war. They also gained temporary control of Cuba. The United States also annexed the independent state of Hawaii during the conflict.
Isaac Newton was creative in his use of prisms to show how white light is actually made up of multiple colors. He used logic in the way he presented his arguments rhetorically in order to convince readers of the correctness of his conclusions.
Newton was not the first to experiment with passing light through prisms to determine how light works. French philosopher Rene Descartes had done prism experiments of his own. But Descartes had thought that passing through a prism actually modified the light in order to produce the color spectrum. Newton correctly understood that when light refracted through the prism, it revealed the range of colors that were naturally in the light. He then used a second prism, blocking all but one color, to show that a single color passing through a prism was not modified in color. He also showed--by positioning the second prism differently--how the multiple colors of light could be recombined into white light again.
Newton's 1672 paper on light refracting through prisms established his reputation as a scientist. He continued to study light throughout his scientific career, publishing a larger work in 1704 on <em>Opticks </em>(as they spelled "optics" then).
The prehistoric era predates writing. Human progress included primitive tools and weapons, clothing, fire, cave art and burial of the dead. During the Old Stone Age, human beings were learning, but they were learning slowly. Then around 10,000 years ago progress began to speed up, with developments like agriculture, the domestication of animals, the creation of permanent villages and cities, etc. Writing began to appear around 5,000 years ago (around 3,000 BC) and that may be the beginning of what we call history, since we begin to know what people were thinking as well as what they were doing.
Explanation:
I believe they used the phrase "Manifest Destiny." In other words, they believed that it was their destiny to have the land and to build upon it.
The damage outweighed the benefits to the American people because it meant they got to "have more." In other words, more money.
The government could have made an agreement with the natives and possibly allowed them to continue living on the land, perhaps, that would have caused less wars or battles in the end.
Answer: As soon as Europeans began to settle in America, in the early 16th century, they imported enslaved Africans to work for them. As European settlement grew, so did the demand for enslaved people. Over the next 300 years more than 11 million enslaved people were transported across the Atlantic from Africa to America and the West Indies, and Britain led this trade from the mid-17th century onwards. Ports such as Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow sent out many slaving ships each year, bringing great prosperity to their owners. Many other cities also grew rich on the profits of industries which depended on slave-produced materials such as cotton, sugar and tobacco.
