Answer:
seismograph, water clock, and paper
Answer:
Intolerable Acts according to my opinion are a justification for the war between colonies and Britain. British imposed heavy laws and acts to colonies, who were practically deprived of all their rights. Intolerable acts were especially hard. They even allowed British soldiers to sleep in the houses of colonists when needed.
Explanation:
I truly think they were justification, because after French and Indian war instead of awarding colonists, British government continued to impose certain heavy taxes on them. Of course, this was just another bad decision in the sea of similar ones, and that is why colonists had no other option.
The answer is b. the euro.
Answer:
A. to capture bases from which to bomb the Japanese home islands
Explanation:
In a sense, yes, but also no. The answers are half right and half incorrect.
The American's campaign against the Japanese saw a island-hopping strategy, in which the US took over key islands from the Japanese, which either 1) cut off the supply lines to other smaller islands, making the Japanese troops stationed there void and ineffective, or 2) taking islands for their own strategic value. It is important to note that throughout this entire campaign, the only nation that was taken that was not strategic was the Philippines. The only reason why General McArthur "visited" the island was because he promised the people he would be back to liberate them (following the fall of the Philippines).
The strategic value of each island taken typically fell under one of these sectors. 1) The island cuts off other islands, 2) The island has a air field. If the island is close enough or is in the middle of the ocean, it was generally taken, either because it has an airfield already, or has the means in which one can be created on there. Refueling sites & landing strips were then created, so that less planes had to ditch out in sea if they ran out of fuel.
