The correct answer to this open question is the following.
During an important time in the history of the colonies in North America, it came a time when the British owned most of the known territory in this region of the Americas. French people were more interested in maintaining the fur trade alive in order to make big profits. But the English were more interested in settling the land.
This British presence in most on the East coast territories meant more surveillance to the colonists, or at least that is how American colonists perceived it.
This represented a period of many hostilities, confrontations, and differences between the English crown and the 13 colonies. Yes, there were wars such as the Pontiac's War or the Seven Years War that increased the tensions between the colonies and the British government.
But what really upset and angered the colonists were the series of heavy taxations imposed by the English government such as the Navigation Acts, the Stamp Act, the Tea Act, the Intolerable Acts, and many more. Colonists were infuriated by these "aggravations."
And what made things worse was the fact that colonists had no voice or opinion in the British Parliament.
And what about aggressions such as the one called the Boston Massacre?
Of course, these things were major causes for the Revolutionary War of Independence.
Salmon P. Chase was on the the first 1 dollar bill.
I believe the correct answer is Bacon's Rebellion.
It was an event which happened in 1676 when lower classes rebelled against the system in which they were not being treated equally as the upper classes. This was the first rebellion of such nature and it lead to greater democracy in the States.
Answer:
The Church initially ignored Martin Luther, but Luther's ideas (and variations of them, including Calvinism) quickly spread throughout Europe. He was asked to recant (to disavow) his writings at the Diet of Worms (an unfortunate name for a council held by the Holy Roman Emperor in the German city of Worms). When Luther refused, he was excommunicated (in other words, expelled from the church). The Church's response to the threat from Luther and others during this period is called the Counter-Reformation ("counter" meaning against).
WW2 ended in Germany when the Allied forces completely surrounded Germany. WW2 ended in the Pacific when the U.S dropped the nuke on Japan. This ended WW2, but since Russia saw this they want to make their own nukes. The U.S saw that and feared an attack from communism so they made more nukes, This created massive tensions between the two countries. This started the Cold War.
