Answer:
The Battle of Queenston Heights allowed the British to conquer Fort Niagara, a strategic position for infiltrating the United States.
Explanation:
The Battle of Queenston Heights was one of the first battles of the War of 1812 between Americans and British, and took place in the vicinity of the Niagara Falls. There, the American forces were in clear advance, with the objective of invading Upper Canada and thus reaching the large urban settlements in the Ontario area, which would have allowed the United States to conquer much of Canada. Finally, a larger British force intercepted the Americans and defeated them in battle, expelling them again to the other side of the border. As a consequence, British forces came to control the strategic Niagara Falls area, as well as much of the Great Lakes region.
<span>The US certainly DID become an Empire (imperialist nation) when it acquired Spain's holdings after the Spanish War (1898). They took the Philipine Islands, Guam and the Mariannas Islands, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and so much more! In a separate action, Sanford B. Dole had deposed the Hawaiian queen and had applied for, and gotten, US annexation.
The American Empire was huge, and there would soon be a canal through a new country called "Panamerica" or Panama for short that would serve to connect the two lobes of the American empire.
As for why the US wanted an Empire, it was for mixed reasons. Part of the reason was that they had been goaded into the Spanish War by publishers Hearst and Pulitzer with their yellow journalism and jingoist slogans. These urged America to not be pushed around by Spain (it wasn't trying) and to free the poor citizens of Cuba.
Just like today, the war was easy to win, but the US had no idea how to deal with the aftermath. Just like today, there were many people in the conquered countries that didn't WANT the US there at all! There are many parallels between McKinley and Bush, and between the Spanish War and the Second Gulf War.</span>

Answer:
D. Expanding women's rights and the right to vote was the least related progressive reform to the causes and effects of World War I.
Explanation:
WWI was triggered by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914. The other progressive reforms have more relation to the causes and effects of WWI because the women's rights reform was introduced recently and therefore had no effect on this whatsoever.

Explanation:
A labour and production model pioneered by Cabot Lowell in 19th century is known as Lowell system. It was designed so that various steps in the manufacturing process can be brought under one roof and instead of men or children, adult women were employed for production. It was first used in the Waltam and Lowell textile mills during the industrial revolution and contributed in the growth of the cotton industry in US. The system was dependent on the rural girls(mill girls), who worked in the mills and lived in the company boarding houses. Later with the growth of competition in the textile industry this system became unprofitable and collapsed.
