Answer:

he Seven Years War, a global conflict known in America as the French and Indian War, officially begins when England declares war on France. However, fighting and skirmishes between England and France had been going on in North America for years.

In the early 1750s, French expansion into the Ohio River valley repeatedly brought France into armed conflict with the British colonies. In 1756–the first official year of fighting in the Seven Years War–the British suffered a series of defeats against the French and their broad network of Native American alliances. However, in 1757, British Prime Minister William Pitt (the older) recognized the potential of imperial expansion that would come out of victory against the French and borrowed heavily to fund an expanded war effort. Pitt financed Prussia’s struggle against France and her allies in Europe and reimbursed the colonies for the raising of armies in North America.

By 1760, the French had been expelled from Canada, and by 1763 all of France’s allies in Europe had either made a separate peace with Prussia or had been defeated. In addition, Spanish attempts to aid France in the Americas had failed, and France also suffered defeats against British forces in India.

The Seven Years War ended with the signing of the treaties of Hubertusburg and Paris in February 1763. In the Treaty of Paris, France lost all claims to Canada and gave Louisiana to Spain, while Britain received Spanish Florida, Upper Canada, and various French holdings overseas. The treaty ensured the colonial and maritime supremacy of Britain and strengthened the 13 American colonies by removing their European rivals to the north and the south. Fifteen years later, French bitterness over the loss of most of their colonial empire contributed to their intervention in the American Revolution on the side of the Patriots.

Which action most contributed to an international economic crisis during the early years of the Great Depression?.
Shtirlitz [24]

The action that contributed to the international economic crisis during the great depression is the United States stock market lost a great deal of its value.

<h3>The economic crisis and the action:</h3>

The "Roaring Twenties," as the century was known in the United States, was a time of enthusiastic economic and social growth.

When the stock market crashed in October 1929, the era came to an end in a dramatic and abrupt manner, ushering in America's Great Depression of the 1930s.

The following years were marked by economic turmoil, with the US economy contracting by more than 36% from 1929 to 1933, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Many American banks failed, causing customers to lose their savings, while the unemployment rate in the United States soared to over 25% as workers lost their jobs.

How did the coastline of the Confederacy offer the South an advantage during the Civil War?
tatuchka [14]
Actually I disagree with A. The north implemented the anaconda plan not the south. I would say C. Because during the anaconda plan people started starving in the south. The north had blocked off all ships that went to deliver food or goods to the south. Of course the occasional smuggler got through but that wasn't enough to feed the entire south. Their long coastline gave them the advantage because they managed to get some goods through. As well as to the Mississippi which also gave them ways to move goods.
