What was a reason that the Nile river was not such the best help for the Indians?
Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for or if it is 100% accurate, but here it goes: Technology was invented around this time. From the cotton gin, to the Telegraph. Indian land was being ceeded (to give up/ sell). In Europe, the steam boat was created and brought to America. If you check your facts, you will find Indian land being ceeded along the rivers at this time. Coincidence? I think not. This was more in the East, but im sure it still had a role here. The creeks( got their name by settling near creeks) were basically screwed on this one.. The creeks and Cherokees ceeded their land to the Ocumulgee and Chattahoochee in 1802 and 1805 respectively.

What is an example of appeasement?
Appeasement is the practice of giving in to someone's demands. In pre-WWII, Hitler made many demands, starting in 1933. Most in the early stages of the Third Reich dealt with reversing the articles of the Treaty of Versailles (i.e. Reclaiming the Saar region & militarizing the Rhineland. France & England, having had enough of war in 1918 did not contest Hitler's actions. Next Austria's government was overthrown and taken control of by Germany. The Sudetenland, an area around the western rim of present-day Czech Republic was claimed by Germany, due to the number of Germanpeople living there after WWI. This land area was ceeded to become the newly formed country Czechoslovakia, under the articles of the Versailles Treaty.In each case, Hitler was appeased by the British and the French, in hopes to avoid war. Each time, Hitler stated that "....this is all we want for Lebenstraum (living space)...." Each time, he was appeased. This was continued until Hitler invaded Poland. Britain, with the backing of France, finally ended the policy of appeasing Hitler.

Why was Fiji ceded to Britain?
Because a Fijian commoner was accused by the Americans for burning an American house down. To solve the problems and debt to the American, the American decided to take most of the land as to payment of the loss of his house and belongings.

Instead of the American occupaying and claiming Fiji, Queen Victoria agreed to pay the damages to the American and protected Fiji from being attacked. That was how Fiji got ceeded to the UK.
Is the Falkland Islands part of South America?
No, The Falkland Islands belong to the UK. But Argentina (in South America) has always claimed the islands as theirs. There was a war between these 2 countries back in 1982 when Argentina invaded the islands, but the war was lost and UK kept their dominion over the Falkland Islands. Yes, The Falkland Island (Islas Malvinas)are part of South America, like Tierra del Fuego, Is Galapagos and another islands. The Falklanders wish to be British and I believe they have reason. The argentinian people must think about that. I'm argentinien and I believe than we can live together in peace. Is my wish. The Falklands were ceeded to Great Britain in 1833. Argentina's claim is false & illegal as it did not exist as a country until 1853. The islands are over 300 miles off the coast of the South American continent. The population speak English and are culturally, ethnically and historically British. Under International Maritime law Britain has the right of exploration for mineral wealth for up to 200 miles of the coast. An argeement for bilateral cooperation was deemed invalid by the present President of Argentina on her entry to office.
Why do Christians go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem?
Jerusalem is the one universal holy site in all of Chrisitianity. Every christian group, Mormons, Lutherans, Catholics, Orthodox Christians whoever, have holy sites for their specific sect (Salt Lake city for Mormons, Rome for Catholics, Mt Athos for Orthodox Christians) but every christian holds Jerusalem as a holy site because it is the site of the begining of the christian faith, the crusifixion of Jesus Christ.Jesus was crusified on the mount in Jerusalem and it is this ultimate sacrafise and resurection which led to the original foundation of the faith. Pilgrimages to Jerusalem began soon after the crusifixion but were banned under the Roman Empire, a pagan kingdom. The Pilgramage of Helen, the mother of Roman Emperor Constantine marked the begining of a new Era, she constructed upon the claimed site of the crusifiction the Church of the Nativity, the oldest sanctified Church in Christendom. Her son made it legal to practice Christianity as well as the state religion of the Roman Empire.Christians going toJerusalem flourished while it was under Eastern cotroll of the Byzantines, they lost control to the Arabs from the south and thus the crusades begun. While Catholics controlled the Holy Land, knights guarded the pilgrims to Jerusalem, check points, rest stops, and holy sites along the way were all guarded and protected by the church and the Knights templar. Pilgrimages ceeded in the 1200's when the Muslims officially took back the city and Holy Land, thus catholics refused to return to the holy landToday pilgrimages for Islam, Christianity and Judaism are popular regions to visit the Tri-Holy City of Jerusalem.Because they want to walk in what they perceive to be the footsteps of Jesus.By visiting the places Jesus was said to have been they feel they can be closer to him.
