Olenka [21]3 years ago
6 0

The reason why has to do with law, marriage and a family that disagreed with their patriarch's evolving views on slavery. Like nearly all wealthy landowners in Virginia, George Washington owned enslaved people who worked his land. He received the first enslaved workers of his own when his father died in 1743.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

B)

a plot by Germany to have Mexico invade the United States

D)

the assassination of the Austrian Archduke caused the U.S. to enter the war

Explanation:

Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his wife, Sophie, were assassinated by a Bosnian Serb nationalist in Sarajevo in June 28 1914. This caused a war between Austria- Hungary and Serbia a month later. Germany sided with Russia and other countries like France, Belgium, Russia sided with Serbia.

The U.S remained neutral. In 1915, a German submarine sank a British ship and about 128 Americans lost their lives. In March 1916, a German U-boat attacked a French passenger ship which led to the death of many Americans. The U.S. wanted to cut ties with Germany but the Germans promised to warn before attacking passenger ships. The German did not keep to their agreement but continued to sink more passenger ships.

In 1917, the British deciphered a message from German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to the German minister to Mexico, Heinrich von Eckhart proposing an alliance between Mexico and Germans. The message stated that the Germans would support the Mexicans in regaining the territory that was lost in the Mexican-American War. This lead to the U.S declaration of war against Germany.

Describe the scene at the British coffeehouse. How is Thomas Rowlandson's portrayal of eighteenth-century society different from
Lelechka [254]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Thomas Rowlandson's portrayal of eighteenth-century society was different from Lemonnier's in the following way.

French artist Anicet-Charles Limmonier depicts the scene of aristocratic people at the Mari Rodette Geoffrin's saloon. These aristocratic people are paying attention to the lecture of famous Enlightenment thinker Voltaire. The painting is very colorful and we can see the elegant apparel of the aristocrats.

On the other hand, the portrayal of the famous British cartoonist Thomas  Rowlandson's portraits middle-class people in a totally different environment: a middle-class Caffe, in Salisbury Marketplace. The environment is more relaxed, and patrons are reading newspapers and having light conversations.

In the times of the Enlightenment, people used to meet at coffee shops or saloons to talk about the issues of the time.
