Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

PROS:

  • Reasonable chance of success - Only about 3,000 US soldiers died during the war, which is a low number(spanamwar). Total size of US army was about 248,000 soldiers and volunteers. Spanish casualties were around 60,000.
  • Waged by a legitimate authority - one of the few times war was actually declared using the correct process.

 

CONS:

  • America annexed Hawaii.

  • The US army was not ready to fight in the war. They were understaffed and lacked the skill required to fight.

How did distance affect the city-states of ancient Greece?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

It made city-states ununited, since they formed independently from each other. City-States were constantly fighting and going to war with each other.

Explanation:

Since city-states had distance between them, they adopted different lifestyles from one another; their economies depended on different recourses because their terrain was different from one another (ex: states by the coast would often fish as a main source of income and food). The mountanous terrain of Greece only separated city-states further and encouraged the independent growth of city-states. This meant Greece was ununited and city-states would constantly go to war with each other.
