Which European country owned the largest territory in what is now the US?
France and Spain have both owned the largest territory in the US. Originally claimed by France, the territory of Louisiana (which had an area of 2,140,000 km2) was transferred from France to its ally of Spain during the Seven Years' War to prevent the British from acquiring the land. It was then transferred back to France during Napoleon's rule to create a large slave/plantation plant with its other territory of Haiti. However, as this was proving to be useless, the US was looking to expand its territory. It offered to buy the city of New Orleans from France but France offered the whole Louisiana territory to the country for a little more than was initially offered.
The second largest territory in US history was Alaska, owned by the Russians. As time drew on, this land seemed pointless for Russia to keep as it was just miles and miles of barren snow and ice. Again, the US went looking for more territory and crossed upon Alaska. They bought the territory from Russia for two cents an acre (about 8.5 million dollars). However, this purchase proved profitable as it was soon discovered that Alaska was full of oil.
What stayed the same in Europe after fall of western empire?
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, several key elements remained consistent in Europe. The influence of Roman law and governance persisted, as local leaders adopted many Roman administrative practices. Additionally, the Latin language continued to be used, particularly in the Church and in education, laying the foundation for the Romance languages. Furthermore, Christianity maintained its prominence, providing a unifying cultural and spiritual framework across fragmented territories.
What were some of the ways Europe Asia and Latin America use the policy of containment?
The term containment has been and can be used for anything; the containment of a disease; the containment of water; containing a fire. Or containing a criminal in a building until he is either overtaken or surrenders to law enforcement. Containment was used in Europe, Asia, and Latin America to contain problems encountered by those regions. During the cold war the "term" CONTAINMENT was used to control communism. That was a name used to prevent the spread of communism. Military force was used to prevent that spread. Either by just showing up and letting them see the military force; as happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Or by actually USING the military force by killing them in war; as happened in the Korean War and Vietnam War.
The range would be determined by subtracting the maximum card (16) and the minimum card (0). So the range in this hand would be 16 - 0 = 16. The median is the card that is in the middle when the cards are arranged in order from smallest to largest. When you arrange this hand of cards in order from smallest to largest (0, 3, 9, 12, 16), the middle card is the 9. So the median is 9. The mode is the card that appears most often. Since there are no duplicate cards in this hand, you do not have the option of playing the mode. Therefore, you will get your highest score from this hand by playing the range of 16.

Why was it easier to fight on ocean and island war in the pacific than a continental war in Europe?
Any examples? I doubt it would be easier, but here are some things to think about. You cane easily transport large amounts of troops over seas, as well as supplies, you would have to go through neutral territories or enemies in Europe.
Also there are very little defenses on islands, there are anti aircraft guns on most coasts, but to get within range you could have massive amounts of troops there on the island, unlike the continent.
many islands population are low, compared to a continent

Why is the US economy bad right now?
There are so many aspects of the overall economy and how good or bad it is doing at a given time that it would take many pages to explain it all. One reason that the economy is struggling is the "Global War on Terror". OIF and OEF in Iraq and Afghanistan respectively has already cost upwards of $3 Trillion and is increasing everyday. The NAFTA or North America Free Trade Agreement is another big player on the dwindling U.S. economy. Golbal corporations are moving their companies out of America into third-world countries where they pay the workers next to nothing to make their products. Then they ship their goods to the U.S. where they are not charged tariffs on their goods. This allows them to keep prices lower then their U.S. competitors. Which in turn puts the companies that do stay in the U.S. out of business. Therefore workers lose their job and unemplyment rates increase.
Picture an economy as a circle. There are three main groups that make up the economy:
- Service providers
- Workers
- Consumers
The service providers either make, grow, or provide some kind of good or service. The people that make up that company contract their labor to that service provider for an agreed upon price. Consumers are the people that buy the goods and services from the service provider. So the more service providers, the more workers. Workers take their money and spend it on goods and services from the service providers. The more profit they make, the more goods they can produce and the more they can pay the workers and so on. Less service providers means less workers which means less consumers.
That is the skinny on the economy right now. Although there are many other areas that could be covered including illegal immigrants, taxes, prison population, social services, imoprt surplus, oil, government spending, health care, etc.
