Which mountain range offered the most protection from outside invaders?
The Alps. Hannibal broke through famously, but no other mountain range can really lay claim to the number of armies that the Alps deflected. The Himalaya have probably never been crossed by an invading force (am I wrong?), but the Alps most likely protected more cultures. The Alps.

What were the hardships of building the American Transcontinental Railroad and how did the workers work though them?
Some of the hardships they faced were little food, they ate once during their working hours. They worked long hours for little money, and they ranged from 10yo and up. They were attacked by Indians and the mountain paths were treacherous, building bridges and tunnels through them were hazardous acts. They got through these problems with perseverance and hard work, they defended themselves against the Indians, they tied themselves up with rope whilst building bridges and were extra careful to watch for collapsing in the tunnels. and eventually, they successfully finished the Transcontinental Railroad. Hope this helped :)

What were the weaknesses in south for the civil war?
The South did not have many factories. They only had tobacco, cotton, etc. so they had to trade for the things they needed instead of being able to make it themselves. They had a shortage of shoes, rations, and clothing. They did not have enough food partway through the war. The South also did not have enough recruits to replenish the dead soldiers. I hope that helped.
What did schlieffen plan depend on?
The Schlieffen plan (in my opinion) was more or less a last ditch effort by the German infantry to break through the enemy lines and recapture France. They planned to invade all along the Western front, from Belgium down to having infantry swarming France through Switzerland. It depended mostly on enemy defensive positions at these locations (where the Germans assumed it would be easiest to get through since there was no artillery in neutral countries such as Switzerland and Belgium). However, when Germany spread its troops across the Western front instead of concentrating on core areas such as Passchendaele and Ypres, the allies were able to push back closer to Berlin, so the Schlieffen plan was a total military failure.

Why do you think Hannibal took the route he did instead of sailing straight across Rome?
Hannibal took the route through the mountains to attack Rome from the last place they expected to be attacked from. When Rome heard that Hannibal was coming through the mountains, they sent an extremely large force to meet him. When the Romans moved up into the mountains, Hannibal surrounded and defeated them. Though he lost the manpower needed to sack the city, he would not be defeated until Scipio Africanus met him in battle in Carthage.
