The Pig War was a confrontation in 1859 between the United States and the United Kingdom over the British–U.S. border in the San Juan Islands, between Vancouver Island (present-day Canada) and the State of Washington. The Pig War, so called because it was triggered by the shooting of a pig, is also called the Pig Episode, the Pig and Potato War, the San Juan Boundary Dispute and the Northwestern Boundary Dispute. Despite being referred to as a war, there were no casualties on either side.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

B. the shift of the Roman Empire's capital from Rome to Constantinople

Explanation:

The Western Roman Empire had been on the decline, while the Eastern Roman Empire has been on the rise. Being more powerful and more influential, the capital of the Roman Empire shifted in the Eastern part of it. Constantinople became the capital of the Roman Empire in 330 AD. This led to significant transfer of power toward the East, and big loss of power in the West. The East prospered more and more and became the strongest power in every sense in the region. The West on the other side was crumbling, little by little losing its political, economic, and military power, eventually resulting in its fall.
