The early explorers in North America founded settlements and named them after places or people from their home country. They oft

en added the word new to the town or city name from their home country. This is why we have place names such as New Hampshire and New England in North America. The places they are named after tell you where in Europe the explorers came from. For example, British settlers named the state of New Hampshire after the English county called Hampshire. Spanish explorers named many settlements after Catholic saints. For example, San Francisco was named after Saint Francis of Assisi, a twelfth-century Catholic priest.
Make a list of places (states, regions, or towns) whose names show similar connections. Make sure you find at least three to four places that show a connection to each of the three nations—Spain, France, and England.

Cold war why did the other allied powers not trust stalin after world war 2 came to an end
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Stalin failed to keep some of his promises.  Churchill and other allied leaders were afraid Stalin /Russians would not leave cities they liberated from the Nazis.  Truman took over from Roosevelt and was tougher with Stalin.  The West did not share information on nuclear/atomic developments, another sign of distrust.  They felt he was another dictator, when they just fought dictators.  The Communist ideology saw Capitalism as an enemy to be conquered rather than a different ideology to co-exist with.

Identify the correct time order of these events.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The Golden Age of Greece was the time period from 500BC - 300BC.

The Life of Alexander the Great was from 356BC - 323BC. Although this occurs within the Golden Age of Greece time period, the Golden Age of Greece started much earlier than the birth of Alexander the Great.

The Hellenistic Age was the time period from 323BC - 31BC. The Hellenistic Age started from the death of Alexander the Great, and lasted until the emergence of the Roman Empire.

The Greco-Roman Age was the time period from 332BC - 395AD. Although this era overlaps with the Hellenistic Age, there is no option other than A which has this order.
