The survival of the Jamestown colony can be most directly attributed to what?

The survival of the Jamestown colony can be most directly attributed to the realization that they needed to focus on agriculture, particularly the cultivation of tobacco, for economic sustainability. Additionally, strong leadership from individuals such as Captain John Smith and the arrival of new settlers and supplies through resupply missions played significant roles in the colony's survival. Finally, the establishment of trade relationships with Native American tribes for food and supplies also contributed to their survival.

What is the survival rate of cobat soldier in Iraq war?

Well this depends on how I interpret survival rate, i have given various statistics and a wild guess at survival rate.Operation Desert storm and Desert Shield aka The First gulf war saw 148 (US) battle deaths out of approx 750,000 (US) Combat forces. This means the chance of you dying is less than 0.002% and if you take the fact that the ground campaign lasted for 100 hours, then there was approximately a 1 in 5676.76 chance of you dying, and your life expectancy would be a soldier dying every 0.78 mins divided by 749,852 soldiers not dying = 1.042, so my interpretation of survival rate is 1.042The US have not yet given a correct figure for the other two invasions and peacekeeping missions in Iraq.(just a tip, be more specific with your questions, as I wasn't sure what you meant by survival rate, or Iraq war, for all I know you could have meant Iraq-Iran war, in which case your survival rate would be very close to 0!)
