Hi! :)
Schlieffen identified France as Germany's most dangerous opponent. Russia was not as advanced as France in many areas and Schlieffen believed that Russia would take six weeks to mobilise her forces and that any possible fighting on the Russian-German border could be coped with by the Germans for a few weeks while the bulk of her forces concentrated on defeating France. Schlieffen concluded that a massive and successful surprise attack against France would be enough to put off Britain becoming involved in a continental war. This would allow Germany time (the six weeks that Schlieffen had built into his plan) to transfer soldiers who had been fighting in the successful French campaign to Russia to take on the Russians.
Sponsored by the West India Company, 30 families arrived in North America in 1624, establishing a settlement on present-day Manhattan. Much like English colonists in Virginia, however, the Dutch settlers did not take much of an interest in agriculture, and focused on the more lucrative fur trade.
Answer: The fur trade.
"It was violated almost immediately" is the right answer.
Self-determination was a secret talking of president Wilson and the ideas behind the League of Nations. The principle of self- determination, often regarded as a moral or constitutional right is that each country is authorized to have a sovereign territorial state in which every identifiable community would decide the state with which they belong.
It was violated because not all the citizens got a country, and when the boundaries of nations were being rearranged many groups of people were forced to remain in different countries. Hence, it was violated almost immediately.
