Answer:

A. Supposed to maintain order and enforce customs regulations.

Explanation:

The American Revolutionary War was a war of independence of the United States of America that was fought between the 19th of April, 1775 and 3rd of September, 1783. The war started when the delegates from the thirteen (13) American colonies in Congress (First continental congress) revolted against the Great Britain over their lack of representation in the colonies and refusal to give consent to parliament's taxation such as Stamp Act and Townshend Acts.

The British were convinced that they needed to sent troops to Boston in order to help maintain order and enforce customs regulations due to the actions of the colonists with respect to the Townshend Acts. Consequently, on the 28th of September, 1768 the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Lord Hillsborough sent 2 regiments (4000 troops) to Boston.

Hence, British troops sent to Boston in 1768 were supposed to maintain order and enforce customs regulations.

What did the fall of the Berlin Wall symbolize? The end of communism in Germany The fall of all communist countries The control
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The fall of all communist countries

Explanation:

The Berlin Wall was a physical border set in the city of Berlin which was dividing the communist and democratic part of it. The people were not able to communicate, move between the two sides, or even see each other. The wall was set by the Soviets, and it represented very well how their politics was. When this wall finally was taken down after three decades, it meant that Germany was united again, and that the communism came to an end in the country. The symbolism of the fall of the Berlin Wall though is much wider, and it not only symbolizes the end of communism in Germany, but across most of the world, as it coincided with the period when the Soviet Union was falling apart and numerous countries got independent, free to make their own decisions, and become democratic societies.
