Answer:

I got dem facccss

Explanation:

Sooo this boat don sink but why weeelllll...........

The sinking of the Cunard ocean liner RMS Lusitania occurred on Friday, 7 May 1915 during the First World War, as Germany waged submarine warfare against the United Kingdom which had implemented a naval blockade of Germany. The ship was identified and torpedoed by the German U-boat U-20, took on a heavy starboard list, and sank in 18 minutes. The vessel went down 11 miles (18 km) off the Old Head of Kinsale,429 Ireland, killing 1,198 and leaving 761 survivors.The sinking turned public opinion in many countries against Germany, contributed to the American entry into World War I and became an iconic symbol in military recruiting campaigns of why the war was being fought.

Lusitania fell victim to torpedo attack relatively early in the First World War, before tactics for evading submarines were properly implemented or understood. The contemporary investigations in both the United Kingdom and the United States into the precise causes of the ship's loss were obstructed by the needs of wartime secrecy and a propaganda campaign to ensure all blame fell upon Germany.Argument over whether the ship was a legitimate military target raged back and forth throughout the war as both sides made misleading claims about the ship. At the time she was sunk, she was carrying over 4 million rounds of small-arms ammunition (.303 caliber), almost 5,000 shrapnel shell casings (for a total of some 50 tons), and 3,240 brass percussion fuses, in addition to 1,266 passengers and a crew of several attempts have been made over the years since the sinking to dive to the wreck seeking information about precisely how the ship sank, and argument continues to the present day.

YEHHHH SO THATS ALL

4. What arguments were used to chal-<br> lenge this system?
vfiekz [6]

The defenders of slavery had passed the arguments used to challenge the system.

Explanation:

The arguments used to challenge this system are

Some people in the south argued that slavery was actually good for the slaves. Many of them believed that slaveholders providing these 'lesser beings' with religion, sustenance and shelter was an act of kindness towards them.

Equally, many in the south believed that slavery was preferable to the factory work and people can do in the north.

Most of the people were worried that without slavery, the economy would crumble. Several elements of trade and production were reliant upon slavery, and so many southerners argued that slavery could not be abolished, in the interest of prosperity.

describe contributions of Africans, Native Americans, women, and children to colonial American society
solong [7]
  In colonial America, Africans "contributed" to society by being a source of income for people who bought and sold them into slavery. They also contributed by being laborers in the southern plantations.
  Women contributed to the society by being a house wives --meaning they took care of the house-- as well as cooking meals for the family and taking care of the children.
  Native Americans, in the earlier days, contributed by trading with settlers and teaching them how to do things in their environment.

(Sorry I really don't know what the children did)

trasher [3.6K]
Instituted in the hope of avoiding war, appeasement was the name given to Britain’s policy in the 1930s of allowing Hitler to expand German territory unchecked. Most closely associated with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, it is now widely discredited as a policy of weakness
