Pennsylvania was founded in 1681 by William Penn. Penn was issued a land grant by King Charles II largely because of a significant debt owed to his father, Admiral Penn. At the time, the grant was one of the largest in terms of area ever known. It was named Pennsylvania, which means Penn's Woods, after Admiral Penn.

Answer:

Unclear what the question is.

Explanation:

In WW1 Wilson tried to stay out of the war and stay neutral, supplying both sides. But Germany was not happy with the US supplying the Allies, so on January 31, 1917, Germany announced that they would commence the renewal of unrestricted submarine warfare in the Atlantic. They sunk an unarmed ship, called the Lusitania, a British passenger liner, which killed 128 Americans. The Germans also tried to get Mexico to invade the US to distract them, called the Zimmermann Telegram.

Place the following events in chronological order

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1. Formation of the British East India Company (December 31, 1600)

2. The Sepoy rebellion (May 10th, 1857)

3. Establishment of the British Raj (June 28, 1858)

Explanation:

1. British East India Company: It was a society that obtained on December 31, 1600 the blessing of Queen Elizabeth I of England with the intention of guaranteeing the privileges of trade in India. This royal authorization gave the new company the monopoly of all trade in the East Indies.

The company was transformed, from a simple commercial union, to become the company that virtually governed India and had under its power almost a fifth of the world's population at that time.

2. The Sepoy rebellion: It was a consequence of the different events that had happened during the process of British domination with the East India Company. The British Empire dealt with coercing the kingdoms of India against the Mughal Empire in order to destabilize it.

3. Establishment of the British Raj: It was the law of the British Crown in the Indian subcontinent since 1858. The region was under British control and included areas directly administered by the United Kingdom, which together were called "British India", and those that were ruled by Indian kings, although under British tutelage they were called Princely States.
