Answer:

Explanation:

The Louisiana Purchase (1803) was a land deal between the United States and France, in which the U.S. acquired approximately 827,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million.

[T]his little event, of France possessing herself of Louisiana, ... is the embryo of a tornado which will burst on the countries on both shores of the Atlantic and involve in it’s effects their highest destinies.1

President Thomas Jefferson wrote this prediction in an April 1802 letter to Pierre Samuel du Pont amid reports that Spain would retrocede to France the vast territory of Louisiana. As the United States had expanded westward, navigation of the Mississippi River and access to the port of New Orleans had become critical to American commerce, so this transfer of authority was cause for concern. Within a week of his letter to du Pont, Jefferson wrote U.S. Minister to France Robert Livingston: "every eye in the US. is now fixed on this affair of Louisiana. perhaps nothing since the revolutionary war has produced more uneasy sensations through the body of the nation."2

What do all nations that had on Industrial Revolution have in common?
katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

The Industrial Revolution marked a period of development in the latter half of the 18th century that transformed largely rural, agrarian societies in Europe and America into industrialized, urban ones.

Goods that had once been painstakingly crafted by hand started to be produced in mass quantities by machines in factories, thanks to the introduction of new machines and techniques in textiles, iron making and other industries.

Fueled by the game-changing use of steam power, the Industrial Revolution began in Britain and spread to the rest of the world, including the United States, by the 1830s and ‘40s. Modern historians often refer to this period as the First Industrial Revolution, to set it apart from a second period of industrialization that took place from the late 19th to early 20th centuries and saw rapid advances in the steel, electric and automobile industries.

__________ occurs when private businesses are allowed to supply services that government has traditionally provided.
Solnce55 [7]

The correct answer is B. Privatization

Explanation:

The term "privatization" refers to the process that implies moving services or similar from public or government to the private section. This implies services formerly provided by the government are transferred to private businesses that are in charge of providing the same services. This occurs in sectors such as education or prison management in which the state decides to pay to private companies or entities to provide services that are in charge of the government. This term is the opposite of "nationalization" in which private services or sector become public. Considering this, the one that occurs when private businesses are allowed to supply services that government provided is privatization.
