In the 1700s, James Watt caused a revolution in transportation<em> by improving steam engine technology.</em>

He was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer. He made improvements on Thomas Newcomen's  steam engine that was patented in 1698 and widely in use at the time of Watt's birth ( 1736).

It all started when Watt was given a model Newcomen engine to repair. He realized it was very inefficient and he began to find ways to improve its performance. He designed a separating condensing chamber for the engine to avoid huge losses of steam. He patented his improvements in 1769.

A unit of measurement of electrical and mechanical power -<em> the watt</em> - is named in his honor.

<u>Churcill pronounced those words as part of an speech in the Munich Confederence, also known as Munich Betrayal, that took place in 1938.</u>

After intense negotiations, leaders from France and UK allowed nazi Germany to annex the region called "Sudetenland" in Czechoslovakia, by not sending any troops there. Morover, the French-Czechoslovak alliance was dishonoured.

What step did mexico take to recover after world oil prices collapsed in 1981?
igomit [66]
The government gradually increased their oil production to prevent an inflationary spiral that could hinder the recovery of the economy. They also declined their participation in the boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympic Games held in Moscow led by the United States. When the US and Mexico could not concur on the price of the natural gas, the latter decided to widen its excess resources rather than selling it to the US at a low price. Also, despite the defiance of the US, Mexico recognized the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front rebels in El Salvador as a representative political force. The US remained as a major oil customer and its major source of investment capital to Mexico even after those steps taken by Mexico. By 1981, the latter became the fourth largest oil producer throughout the world.

Rome’s location made it a center for trade throughout the
slavikrds [6]

The location of Rome made it a convenient trading center across the Mediterranean. Namely, the geographical position and access to the Tyrrhenian Sea, further to the Mediterranean Sea, made it easy for Rome to have a connection with all the Mediterranean countries to North Africa and the Middle East. If it is known that the Phoenicians, famous sailors, merchants and shipbuilders, thanks to the access to the Mediterranean Sea, made it easy to navigate the Atlantic, it was easy to imagine that the benefits of access to the Mediterranean could have the significance for accessing a more distant commercial destination.

The answer is: B.
