5- How did America gain some territories?

History
1 answer:
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
7 0
It’s B, gaming territories by treaty or war. Let me explain:

Throughout the years mainly in the 1800s-1870s, the USA has numerous treaties and some wars that gained them the territory they have today. An example of a treaty is the Louisiana purchase of 1803, and a war example is the Mexican-American war, which gained them most of their territories out west.

The first answer is incorrect because the US mainly paid with their own money on these land purchases, and the last one is also incorrect because the US bought by the Louisiana territory, not sold it (and that would actually lose them territory).

Hope this helps! (Please consider branliest, because as of writing this post, I’m 5 away from the Virt rank, thanks!)

What were the direct causes of the American Revolution? no
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The 7 year war

Taxes and duties

Boston Massacre (1770)

Boston Tea Party (1773)

Intolerable Acts (1774)

King George III’s Speech to Parliament (1775)

Explanation:

The Seven Years War was a multinational conflict, the main belligerents were the British and French Empires. Each looking to expand their territory across numerous continents, both nations suffered mass casualties and racked up copious amounts of debt in order to fund the long and ardous struggle for territorial dominance which led to economic hardship in the US and an acknowledgment of the cultural differences between colonists and Britons. making it one of the key roles that led to the war

Taxes and Duties

The taxes and duties caused outrage in the colonies and became the main root of spontaneous and violent opposition. Encouraged and rallied by propaganda leaflets and posters, such as those created by Paul Revere, colonists rioted and organised merchant boycotts. Eventually, the colonial response was met with fierce repression

Boston Massacre (1770)

The Boston Massacre is often represented as the inevitable start of a revolution, but in fact it initially prompted Lord North’s government to withdraw the Townshend Acts and for a time it seemed like the worst of the crisis was over. However, radicals such as Samuel Adams and Thomas Jefferson kept the resentment ticking over.

Boston Tea Party (1773)

it was in December 1773 that the most famous and overt display of anger and resistance took place. A group of colonists led by Adams hopped aboard the East India Company trade vessel Dartmouth and poured 342 chests of tea (worth close to $2,000,000 in today’s currency) of British tea into the sea at Boston Harbour. This act – now known as the ‘Boston Tea Party’, remains important in patriotic American folklore.

Intolerable Acts (1774)

Rather than attempting to appease the rebels, the Boston Tea Party was met with the passing of the Intolerable Acts in 1774 by the British Crown. These punitive measures included the forced closure of Boston port and an order of compensation to the East India Company for damaged property. Town meetings were now also banned, and the authority of the royal governor was increased.

The British lost further support and patriots formed the First Continental Congress in the same year, a body where men from all the colonies were formally represented. In Britain, opinion was divided as the Whigs favoured reform while North’s Tories wanted to demonstrate the power of the British Parliament. It would be the Tories who got their way.

In the meantime, the First Continental Congress raised a militia, and in April 1775 the first shots of the war were fired as British troops clashed with militia men at the twin battles of Lexington and Concord. British reinforcements landed in Massachusetts and defeated the rebels at Bunker Hill in June – the first major battle of the American War of Independence.

King George III’s Speech to Parliament (1775)

On 26 October 1775 George III, King of Great Britain, stood up in front of his Parliament and declared the American colonies to be in a state of rebellion. Here, for the first time, the use of force was authorised against the rebels. The King’s speech was long but certain phrases made it clear that a major war against his own subjects was about to commence:

<em>“It is now become the part of wisdom, and (in its effects) of clemency, to put a speedy end to these disorders by the most decisive exertions. For this purpose, I have increased my naval establishment, and greatly augmented my land forces, but in such a manner as may be the least burthensome to my kingdoms.”</em>

After such a speech, the Whig position was silenced and a full-scale war was inevitable. From it the United States of America would emerge, and the course of history radically changed<em>.</em>

In your understanding, how did language spread from one Proto-Indo-European language to the more than 6,000 languages we speak t
Butoxors [25]
Well, it is like the Biblical story about the Tower of Babylon - in the beginning, there was only one language and all the people in the world spoke it. However, because of many disputes and quarrels, they all separated and created numerous new languages. The same thing happened in the real world (if you don't believe in what the Bible says) - there used to be Proto-Indo-European language, but over time, it developed many new languages as people grew apart and created new nations.
