History

Answer:

British mathematician William Bourne made some of the earliest known plans for a submarine around 1578, but the world’s first working prototype was built in the 17th century by Cornelius Drebbel, a Dutch polymath and inventor in the employ of the British King James I. Drebbel’s sub was probably a modified rowboat coated in greased leather and manned by a team of oarsmen. Sometime around 1620, he used it to dive 15 feet beneath the River Thames during a demonstration witnessed by King James and thousands of astonished Londoners. Unfortunately, none of Drebbel’s plans or engineering drawings has survived to today, so historians can only guess about how his “diving boat” actually operated. Some accounts say it submerged via a collection of bladders or wooden ballast tanks, while others suggest that a sloping bow and a system of weights were used to propel the boat underwater when it was rowed at full speed.

The American Revolution was caused by all of the following EXCEPT
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The correct answer is B) The upheaval caused by urban industrial laborers.

During the time of the American Revolution, the increase of industrialization had not taken place in the North American continent. America does not begin large scale industrialization until the middle of the 19th century.

All of the other answer choices played a critical role in starting the American Revolution. The debt from the Seven Years War resulted in the need for the British government to tax the colonists.

The thousands of miles between Britain and North America caused a disconnect and the development of two very different cultures.

Lastly, the British neglect of the needs/desires of the American colonies caused resentment. This is due to the fact that the American colonists were not represented in the British parliament (who passed a series of taxes on the colonists).
