Answer:

I believe it was the weapon refered to as the "shlang"

Explanation:

The shlang was the first weapon Alexander encountered as it was when he first arrived in India when he found Jil Nehoundon who introduced him to the collection of rocks/balls made of stone and dirt.  These balls sometimes contained scrap metal and were thrown.  On impact these balls caused very harmful infections as they were often soaked in goat urine and or pig feciece.  

This resulted in the name "shlang"  as they were thrown/slang using leather belts (lang) and had scrap metal (-sh)

Thank you I hope you perform well on your assesment   :)

Vesna [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Former President Theodore Roosevelt's decision to participate influenced the election and the Progressive Party in that another serious contender participated in the disputed election of 1912. US citizens had a pull of four candidates that polarized the election in which the winner was Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson.

Elected candidate Woodrow Wilson ended up with 435 electoral votes and 6,293,454 popular votes. Former US President Theodore Roosevelt finished in second place with 88 electoral votes and 4,119,207 popular votes.

One reason for this result was the fact that the Republicans faced a serious internal division in the party when Republicans decided that William Taft was going to be its candidate. That is why Roosevelt decided to compete for the Progressive party, taking with him many members and votes that formerly belonged to the Republican party.

Which king of England led the charge to make American colonists pay much higher taxes?
navik [9.2K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

I think the king was George III.

<h2>Explaination:</h2>

<em>According to my research :</em> By the 1770’s, Great Britain had established a number of colonies in North America. The American colonists thought of themselves as citizens of Great Britain and subjects of King

George III. They were tied to Britain through trade and by the way they were governed. Trade was restricted so the colonies had to rely on Britain for imported goods and supplies. Therewere no banks and very little money, so colonists used barter and credit to get the things they needed. Following the French and Indian War, Britain wanted to control expansion into the western territories. The King issued the Proclamation of 1763 prohibiting settlements beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Colonists who had already settled on these lands were ordered to return east of the mountains. In 1765 Parliament passed the Quartering Act that saidthe colonists needed to find or pay for lodging forBritish soldiers stationed in America. With theFrench and Indian War over, many colonists saw no need for soldiers to be stationed in the colonies. Britain also needed money to pay for its war debts. The King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the colonies. They decided to require several kinds of taxes from the colonists to help pay for the French and Indian War. These taxes included the Stamp Act, passed in 1765,which required the use of special paper bearing an embossed tax stamp for all legal documents. Other laws, such as the Townsend Acts, passed in1767, required the colonists to pay taxes on imported goods like tea. Many colonists felt that they should not pay these taxes, because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their own colonial governments. They protested, saying that these taxes violated their rights as British citizens. The colonists started to resist by boycotting, or not buying, British goods. In 1773 some colonists in Boston, Massachusetts

demonstrated their frustration by dressing up like Indians, sneaking onto ships in the harbor, and dumping imported tea into the water. This was called the Boston Tea Party. The British

took action by closing the Boston port. A similar but smaller tea party took place in Yorktown, Virginia in 1774. The First Continental Congress met in 1774 to make a list of complaints about the way Britain was treating the colonies. Many

people in America felt their concerns were not being heard, and this caused more unhappiness in the colonies. In April of 1775, a group of colonists fought against the British army in the Battles of Lexington and Concord. In 1775,

the Second Continental Congress decided to form a Continental Army, which consisted of citizens from 13 colonies. George Washington was selected to be the Commander-in-Chief of the

Army. The colonies were ready to fight for their rights.
