Juan de Oñate, (1550—1630), was an explorer who was said to first
visit the U.S. river that created a
boundary between America and Mexico. Thus, he established the colony of New
Mexico for Spain. Oñate became successful in settling in the present-day
Southwestern America.
During the <em>English civil war</em>, England left the colonies alone for a period of twenty years. While the English were fighting the colonies were free and essentially got away with anything, this included not obeying the Navigation Act of 1651.
Commerce in tobacco and materials used in shipping attached the colonies economically to England, the politics and religion also tied the colonies to England, but in general the English left the colonies to their own means. The <em>English civil war</em> demanded the colonists in America to review their place within the English domain; the colonies that were consider old colonies such as Virginia and Maryland supported the crown, while newer colonies like Massachusetts Bay tendered to favor the English Parliament. Nevertheless, during the war all colonies remained neutral, fearing that supporting either side could implicate them in the war.
Charles I's death penalty and execution in 1649 changed that neutrality. Six colonies, including Virginia, declared their loyalty to the dead monarch's son Charles II. The English Parliament replied with and Act in 1650, which levelled an economic imposition forcing them to accept the Parliaments authority. The Navigation Act of 1651 followed this imposition, pressuring the merchants in every colony to ship goods directly to England in England ships.
The influenza pandemic of 1918 was an influenza epidemic of unusual severity. Unlike other epidemics of influenza that affect children and elders, many of its victims were young and healthy adults, and animals, including dogs and cats. It is considered the most devastating pandemic in human history, because in only one year it killed between 40 and 100 million people.
After registering the first cases in Europe, apparently in France, the influenza passed to Spain, a neutral country in the war and that did not censure the publication of reports on the disease and its consequences, hence, despite being an international problem, it was given this name because it seemed in the information of the time that it was the only country affected.
Although the First World War did not cause the influenza, the proximity of the barracks and the massive movements of troops helped its expansion. The researchers believe that the soldiers' immune systems were weakened by the strain of combat and chemical attacks, increasing the chances of contracting the disease.
A factor in the transmission of the disease was the amount of travel of the combatants. The modernization of transport systems made it possible for mariners to spread the pandemic more rapidly over a wider range of communities.
I think it is A. Navigation Act
