Tobacco was use for rituals rather than recreation
Hey there!
Let's analyze each of these. Many of these ended up boosting the economy, but only one lead to industrialism, or a big increase is manufacturing.
The Louisiana Purchase led to a lot of exploring and land trading, but not necessarily industrialization.
The revolutionary war gave the U.S. its independence but did not start any specific types of industries.
After the Mexican war, the U.S. gained more land in the West but for the same reason as the Louisiana Purchase, it did not increase manufacturing industries.
This leaves the answer as D) The War of 1812. The War of 1812 reinstated that the U.S. did not need to trade with Britain or many other countries, which led many states to begin to manufacture their own goods.
I hope this helps!
The Aswan High Dam was built to regulate and control the annual flooding of the Nile River in order to protect crops and property from such uncontrolled flooding and to generate electricity. Most of its effects have been positive but several environmental effects are:
- Water-logging: because of the continuous high levels of water, the soil around the area is saturated with water, which prevents oxygenation of the soil that is essential to several plants and crops.
- Salinization of soils: caused by the inability of water-saturated soils to absorb salt, it is toxic to crops and damaging to infrastructures.
- Soil Erosion: it is a consequence of soil salinization as crops die and are unable to hold the soil in place.
There were also other negative effects such as:
- Archeology: two important archeological sites of Ancient Egypt were flooded and covered by the dam waters: the ancient cemetery of Fadrus and the Buhen fort.
- Loss of sediment: the annual flooding carried an enormous amount of sediment that is now trapped within the resulting Lake Nasser. Many of these sediments were used by local industries to manufacture bricks and they lost access to this renewable source of raw materials.
- More expensive and difficult purification of water: because the water does not move as much it is more transparent and allows the sunlight to penetrate deeper. This, combined with the trapped sediments has increased the growth of algae that have proliferated to the point that water purification is more and more expensive due to the necessary removal of this plant.
False because the amendment did become successful but it led to more organized crime do to boot leg gets becoming rich aka gangsters creating speakeasies (those are like clubs) where people could drink illegally
