What impacts did American settlers have on Native Americans and what were the
causes?

Answers

Answer:

American settlers were taught by Native americans how to trade and how to farm crops. American settlers later took the land away from Native Americans and out them on reservations

Answer:

they brought diseases to the Natives Americans that killed them for example

thay also died from over working and since the number of Native Am. decreased this is where the slave trade begins

Europeans brought many different things with them to the Americas. Europeans brought with them chickens, cows, horses, and pigs. These animals had never been in the New World before the Europeans’ arrival (note: horses had been in North America before the last Ice Age but had migrated off the continent). They also brought fruits and vegetables like bananas, oranges, grapes, onions, peaches, and limes. Many of these fruits and vegetables the Europeans were exposed to during the Crusades. Lastly, Europeans brought grains like rice and wheat to the Americas.

What kind of effect do you think this had on the Native Americans who already lived in the Americas? First, it impacted(changed) their diet. Native Americans started eating these animals and plants as well. Next, they began to rely on some of these animals, like the horse. Native Americans who lived on the Great Plains used the horse for transportation. Native Americans had never ridden a horse before 1492.

These seem like great things, but there were negative impacts as well. Europeans created large plantations to grow the crops, especially rice and sugarcane. European explorers and settlers were usually the nobility, and were used to having servants do work for them

What regions is Judaism still practiced today? How many people still practice it today?

Answers

Answer:

there are about 14 million Jews worldwide. Most of them live in the United States and Israel

Explanation:

Answer:

Jewish people believe there’s only one God who has established a covenant—or special agreement—with them. Their God communicates to believers through prophets and rewards good deeds while also punishing evil.

Most Jews (with the exception of a few groups) believe that their Messiah hasn’t yet come—but will one day.

Jewish people worship in holy places known as synagogues, and their spiritual leaders are called rabbis. The six-pointed Star of David is the symbol of Judaism.

Today, there are about 14 million Jews worldwide. Most of them live in the United States and Israel.

Write a paragraph explaining why the King and Queen were blamed for the (french) revolution even though there was so much more going on.

Answers

In 1789, food shortages and economic crises led to the outbreak of the French Revolution. King Louis and his queen, Mary-Antoinette, were imprisoned in August 1792, and in September the monarchy was abolished. Marie-Antoinette followed him to the guillotine nine months later.
Basically you would explain how the King and Queen misused their riches while the people of France were in poverty. Because they were the highest level of nobility at the time and they didn’t do everything they could to prevent the poverty they were blamed for the crisis.
