Answer: To increase oil prices by controlling global supply
Explanation:
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was formed when some oil producing countries decided that it would be best to form a cartel that would dictate the supply of oil and in effect the price as well.
By forming a cartel, they would have more control over what price to charge other nations which would allow for more revenue to come into these countries. OPEC also uses its influence to impart global issues as they once refused to sell oil to western nations unless those nations criticized and restricted support for Israel.
Answer: Gave European countries financial aid from the US
Explanation: I believe you meant to say Marshall Plan. This was after WWII. European countries were heavily damaged from the fighting, and served as an opportunity for communism to rise since the economy wasn't good.

The answer is D) Battle of Long Island.
The battle of Long Island resulted in many American soldiers deserting the army.
The objective of the Dawes Act was to assimilate Native American Indians into mainstream US society by annihilating their cultural and social traditions. The land allotted to the Indians included desert or near-desert lands unsuitable for farming. In addition, the techniques of self-sufficient farming were much different from their tribal way of life. Many Indians did not want to take up agriculture, and those who did want to farm could not afford the tools, animals, seed, and other supplies necessary to get started. There were also problems with inheritance. Often young children inherited allotments that they could not farm because they had been sent away to boarding schools. Multiple heirs also caused a problem; when several people inherited an allotment, the size of the holdings became too small for efficient farming.
