Answer:
The six-month encampment of General George Washington’s Continental Army at Valley Forge in the winter of 1777-1778 was a major turning point in the American Revolutionary War. While conditions were notoriously cold and harsh and provisions were in short supply, it was at the winter camp where George Washington proved his mettle and, with the help of former Prussian military officer Friedrich Wilhelm Baron von Steuben, transformed a battered Continental Army into a unified, world-class fighting force capable of beating the British.General George Washington and his weary troops arrived at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania six days before Christmas in 1777. The men were hungry and tired after a string of losing battles that had resulted in the British capture of the patriot capital, Philadelphia, earlier in the fall. The defeats had led some members of the Continental Congress to want to replace Washington, believing he was incompetent.
The Valley Forge winter camp site was approximately 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia—about a day’s march from the British-occupied American capital. Most of the land had previously been cleared for agriculture, leaving an open, rolling landscape.
Washington picked the spot because it was close enough to keep an eye on British troops sheltering in Philadelphia, yet far enough away to prevent a surprise attack on his own Continental Army. Washington and his men would remain at the camp for approximately six months, from December 1777 until June 1778.
Explain why it is possible that a unitary government might be either democratic or dictatorial in form.
Answer:
Dictatorial governments are unitary by definition, because they concentrate power either on a single person (the dictator) or on a few individuals, who micromanage government affairs as much a possible.
Democracy is also compatible with unitary governments, because power in unitary governments, while being more concentrated than in federal governments, can still be democratically elected. There are many examples of democratically-elected unitary governments around the world.
France is one of those examples: an unitary government ever since the French Revolution, it is currently one of the strongest democracies in the world and a highly developed country.

Briefly explain the different reasons for the United States entering World War I in 1917.
On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson went before a joint session of Congress to request a declaration of war against Germany. Wilson cited Germany’s violation of its pledge to suspend unrestricted submarine warfare in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean, as well as its attempts to entice Mexico into an alliance against the United States, as his reasons for declaring war. On April 4, 1917, the U.S. Senate voted in support of the measure to declare war on Germany. The House concurred two days later. The United States later declared war on German ally Austria-Hungary on December 7, 1917.

Which statement best explains the cartoon's meaning? It threatens colonies that refuse to join the plan of union. It criticizes people who oppose the plan of union. It encourages the plan of union in order to protect against threats. It compares the plan of union to a dangerous snake.
Answer:
It encourages the plan of union in order to protect against threats.
Explanation:
Benjamin Franklin's political cartoon of 1754 which depicted a snake cut into several pieces sent a message to the fragmented American colonies to unite and fight against threats.
This cartoon, called as 'Join or Die', called for the intervention of the British Crown in uniting the American colonies and advocated the support of the Albany Plan of Union which was subsequently a plan to unify the colonies under a strong central government.
The cartoon demonstrated the need for the American colonies to unite against the French government and its allies. It sent a strong message that if the colonies do not unite, they would surely be defeated by the enemy.
Explain why Gavrilo Princip killed
Archduke Francis Ferdinand.
Answer:
The reason why Gavrilo Princip killed Ferdinand was to break off Austria-Hungary's South Slav provinces so they could be combined into a Yugoslavia. The conspirators' motives were consistent with the movement that later became known as Young Bosnia.
Explanation:
What was the "Join, or Die" poster about, and who created it?
It has been awhile since I talked about this but I will give a try and hopefully I help. The it was a cartoon it was made by Benjamin Franklin i don’t know if he did do the poster too but it was made in early 1750’s so it was around the time of Franklin published by an American colonist. It had the names of the American colonies on it. ( it was for colony union) I know more about the cartoon but I bet it was still made by Benjamin. I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS.

Question 1
Read Wilson’s Fourteen Points speech. In particular, consider the excerpt and points below, then answer the questions that follow:
We entered this war because violations of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the life of our own people impossible unless they were corrected and the world secured once for all against their recurrence. What we demand in this war, therefore, is nothing peculiar to ourselves. It is that the world be made fit and safe to live in; and particularly that it be made safe for every peace-loving nation which, like our own, wishes to live its own life, determine its own institutions, be assured of justice and fair dealing by the other peoples of the world, as against force and selfish aggression. All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest, and for our own part we see very clearly that unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us. The programme of the world's peace, therefore, is our program; and that program, the only possible program, as we see it, is this:
II. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants.
III. The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance.
IV. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest points consistent with domestic safety.
V. A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the population concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined.
XIV. A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike.
Part A
In his speech, Wilson makes the following statement: “All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest, and for our own part we see very clearly that unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us... The program of the world's peace, therefore, is our program…”

Briefly explain ONE specific way native peoples defended their political sovereignty after European encroachment on their lands.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
One specific way in which native peoples defended their political sovereignty after European encroachment on their lands was war. Yes, the Native American Indian tribes always resisted the white English colonist's invasions to their lands, and although sometimes they tried to be amicable and offered some help to the colonists, as was the case of the beginning of the Jamestown, Virginia colony and the Powathans tribe, the constant was aggression and war.
So we could say that the Native American Indians tried diplomacy, negotiation, sometimes alliances, and definitely, their last resource was war.

What was the economic, societal, and political structure
of the New England colonial region?
Answer: The economic, social, and political structure of New England.
Explanation:
New England and Plymouth were among the first English colonies in the territory of the New World. The economy was based on production, shipbuilding, and fishing to gain a lot of importance. Thus, the port of Boston eventually became one of the busiest. When we talk about the social structure, the Puritans made up the majority. Precisely because of the impossibility of a religious organization of their own accord, they moved to North America and organized society as they wished. When we talk about the political structure, the head of the colony was the governor, and the first was John Winthrop around 1630 in New England.
