History
1 answer:
Marta_Voda [28]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Jamestown, Virginia is very important in the context of both world and US history. It came to be the first successful English colony in the New World, leading for new travelers to come to the Americas and eventually spawn many countries along the way. Politics, cultures, and general history as we know it would be altered heavily if the colony of Jamestown had failed over 400 years ago.

Which monarchies fought intermittently during the Hundred Years’ War?
MrRa [10]
The correct answer to this question is the French and the English.

The Hundred Years' War was a war fought fiercely by both sides - the British and the French with each side winning certain battles but the final outcome being quite indecisive. Joan of Arc is a character that is probably the most known figure out of this time period.

which of the following conclusions do U.S. attitudes toward the panama canal during the 20th century support? A.historical conte
Strike441 [17]
C.  People's point of view can change to suit changes in historical context.

Allow me to add some explanation about historical context and how that works.

When the Panama Canal was built in the early 1900s, the historical and political context was one of imperialism. President Theodore Roosevelt of the United States used military pressure and warships to force Columbia to recognize Panama's independence, and then arranged with Panama to cede a strip of land to the United States (for $10 million) so that the US could build the canal and control the canal zone for commercial purposes.
By the late 20th century, the historical and political context was much different, and imperialistic control of overseas territories was no longer in vogue.  In 1977, US President Jimmy Carter signed a treaty with Panama which agreed to give over control of the canal to Panama by the end of the century, with transfer of control taking place on December 31, 1999.   
Part of the reason for willingness to make that transfer was that the Panama Canal had become expensive for the United States to maintain and operate -- so that part of the historical context plays in also.  Since Panama took over the canal, they have actually done very well financially with it.  You could check out a good book on the subject,<em> The Big Ditch</em>, by Noel Maurer and Carlos Yu, published by Princeton University Press in 2010.

Why was the Embargo Act repealed?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

impacted foreign trade with nations other than Britain

Explanation:

The Embargo Act of 1897 was repealed because it "impacted foreign trade with nations other than Britain."

This is evident in the fact that American traders lost a lot of money during the period of embargo, as it was not only the British, the embargo asked not to trade with but other foreign nations as well.

The purpose of the act was to lessen the power of Britain during their war with France, however, it affected the American merchants more as it prohibits trading with not just the British but other foreign nations. It was later repealed in 1809 as against the scheduled 1810.
