Answer:

Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer who proposed a heliocentric system, that the planets orbit around the Sun; that Earth is a planet which, besides orbiting the Sun annually, also turns once daily on its own axis; and that very slow changes in the direction of this axis account for the precession of the equinoxes.

Explanation:

In it, he proposed that the center of the universe was not Earth, but that the sun lay near it. He also suggested that Earth's rotation accounted for the rise and setting of the sun, the movement of the stars, and that the cycle of seasons was caused by Earth's revolutions around it.

Is Wilson reluctant or eager to declare war on Germany?
Zepler [3.9K]
President Woodrow Wilson, on behalf of the United States of America, was reluctant to enter WW1 and declare war on Germany. America wanted to remain neutral and out of the affairs of Europe. However, on May 7, 1915, Germany sunk a British ship that held more than 100 American passengers. Wilson tried to negotiate and after several failed compromises felt obligated to declare war on Germany.
