Answer:

Because at the time, the American army was still segregated, and African Americans were discriminated in the army, even if they provided the same service for the country during the war against Germany and Japan.

Fortunately for African Americans, the army was desegregated after the war, and in the following decades, the Civil Rights Movement would lead to desegregation in most public and private places across the country, especially in the South.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The statements are true.

Explanation:

Jacques Cartier was a Breton navigator and explorer, the first great French explorer in North America.

He was commissioned by Francis I of France to search for the northwest passage to the Indies. In 1534 he left Saint Malo, arrived in Newfoundland, traveled New Brunswick and touched Canadian land in Gaspe, where he made contact with the Indians. In 1535 he made his second voyage and discovered the river Saint Lawrence; he reached its mouth, and shortly after ascended the river, and reached as far as the city of Montreal later was established. On this voyage he learned the name of Canada, and in 1536 returned to France. In 1541 he embarked on a third voyage under the command of J.F. de la Roque, lord of Roberval, with whom he tried to found a colony. Cartier, however, separated from the expedition and he returned to his own country.

The maps he made, allowed the Gulf and the St. Lawrence River to appear for the first time in cartographic representations of the world.

Elenna [48]
Old Norse religion, also known as Norse paganism, also called the most common name for a branch of Germanic religion which developed during the Proto-Norse period, when the North Germanic peoples separated into a distinct branch of the Germanic peoples. It was replaced by Christianity during the Christianization of Scandinavia. Scholars reconstruct aspects of North Germanic religion by historical linguistics, archaeology, toponymy, and records left by North Germanic peoples, such as runic inscriptions in the Younger Futhark, a distinctly North Germanic extension of the runic alphabet. Numerous Old Norse works dated to the 13th century record Norse mythology, a component of North Germanic religion.
