Explanation:
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) was the 35th President of the United States. Kennedy believed that communism should be stopped to prevent the spread of it into other countries (domino effect). Kennedy sent 11,000 military advisers to Vietnam to train the army of South Vietnam. He increased the financial support and sent Vice President Johnson as a demonstration of support for South Vietnam by the United States.

Spain-South/Latin America
France- Canada
Britain- Virginia and New England
All 3 had territory in the Caribbean.Spain settled in S.A. to find gold to bring back to Spain.
France was mostly interested in fur trapping and trade with the natives.
Virginia was settled because the English thought they could find gold there as the Spanish had in South America. when they realized there was no gold to be found they turned to tobacco farming, which was also very lucrative.
New England was settled by people who wanted to escape from the religious oppression they had experienced in England, primarily the Pilgrims and the Puritans.

Answer:
D (it's a sort of trick question
Explanation:
here ya go ;)
Answer:
Explanation:
Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 U.S. (9 Wheat.) 1 (1824), was a landmark decision in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the power to regulate interstate commerce, granted to Congress by the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, encompassed the power to regulate navigation.
The severity of the destruction caused by the fire could have been prevented had the company taken necessary precautions. Despite the obvious flaws in fire safety and recent warning notice from the NY Board of Sanitary Control, little was done to correct the facility's violations. New York was a booming industrial economy in the early 1900's and many factories faced tough competition. The result was often cutting corners and violating building codes in order to turn a profit. There were two major flaws in the Triangle shirtwaist factory building. First, there was only one fire escape even though two more were needed. Second, all the exits had doors that opened inwardly rather than out. As women ran down the fire escape, it began to buckle under their weight. There were two exits and two elevators located on each end (Green Street and Washington Place) of the flat on the ninth floor. The Greene Street stairway was blocked by flames, and the Washington Place stairway was locked. It had become common practice for the factory to lock the Washington Place to prevent employee theft. As a result, the only escape routes left for victims were the elevators.
The ineffectiveness of the firemen revealed many flaws in the fire department that would later be addressed. For example, had the ladder been long enough to reach the top three floors and the water pressure strong enough to reach the floors, many of the victims could have survived the event. A few years after the incident, the fire department developed a stronger water pump and added an extra ladder as a precaution.
After the fire, the owners of Triangle Shirtwaist factory, Harris and Blanck, were brought to court on charges of manslaughter but were eventually acquitted. They were fined $75 for each life lost. However their insurance policy paid them a total of $60,000, at the rate of $400 per life lost, so they actually profited from the tragedy. After two years, they continued to lock the doors to exits and were fined for several safety code violations. However this event heralded the birth of the Labor Movement. It brought numerous laws on safety, brakes for workers and wages.
