What events in cuba concerned the US government?
The event that led to US intervention in Cuba was Cuban refugees in the United States spread exaggerated tales of Spanish atrocities, and these and numerous others were reprinted widely. President Cleveland resisted the rising public demand for intervention, but by early 1898 the pressure, then on his successor, McKinley, was too great to be defied.
The philosophers of the enlightenment hoped to improve human society by?
I think it is pretty much summed up in the phrase: Sapereaude!
It's latin and sort of translates into "dare to be wise!" And just like Kant's categorical imperative it is the imperative that humans have to be wise and dare to do so in order to prosper and to govern their reason in a reasonable way. As the Danish Lector of Philosophy, Háns Fink says ((I'm paraphrasing): "It is you as what ever role or member of society that you have, you have to use your own reason and to think and act in an reasonably and humanely way." So when everyone uses their their reason in the proper way, humanity will prosper. So to answer your question; the philosophers of the enlightenment hoped to improve human society by improving their ability to use their reason in the right and responsible way. A quote from Kant also says: "Argue as much as you will, and about what you will, only obey!"

What is the motive of a terrorist?
Terrorism, as we know it today, is rooted in frustration, anger, fear, and feelings of helplessness. It is easy to convince a group of very angry, fearful people that violence will get them power, especially since terrorism can pay off in the short term. It rarely, if ever, brings about a positive change. It usually ends with the terrorists dead or so damaged that they will never have a life they strived for and many more people dead and damaged. Needed changes can't be brought about by terrorism.
A good description of a terrorist mentality was described byTamim Ansary, in his book "West of Kabul, East of New York", as being shut in a box lined with mirrors and any ideas that might slip in are reflected off those mirrors.
There is a line to be crossed between freedom fighter/revolutionary and terrorist. To over simplify the line is between destroying your opponent/enemy and destroying everyone who is not you.
Answercould be a number of things: religious beliefs, hatred towards that country, trying to evoke change...One man's Terrorist is another man's Freedom Fighter.
AnswerFrom: katanatac- sometimes terrorism is used to shape the outcome of a group of people or even an entire country. For instance,the army of the north commited various acts of terrorism against the Southern people because they desired to be left alone. The north would not stand for this separation because they wanted to control the entire country so, they spread lies about the South and then attacked her for no good reason. These monsters from the north murdured innocent men,women,and children (black and white) Not only did they kill them,they also burnt down the buildings and destroy all of the food supply so that the ones that were unfortunate enough to remain would starve to death!! (blacks and whites) I could continue but this should give you an idea. By the way, Sadam Hussain said that he learned the tactics that he used against the Iraqi people from none other than Abraham Lincoln.See the "Related Links" section below for more details on the motivation of terrorism.
When was the Australian Parliament House in Canberra built?
This depends on which Parliament House is meant.
The first Australian Parliament following Federation of the states met in Parliament House, Melbourne, which it borrowed from the parliament of the state of Victoria, which in turn sat in the Exhibition Building.
Construction of the first Parliament House in Canberra, which was only ever intended to be temporary, began in August 1923 and the building was officially opened on 9 May 1927.
Intended to be temporary, this building actually housed the Parliament until 1988. Construction of the New Parliament House began in 1981, and the House was finally opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 9 May 1988, the anniversary of the opening of both the first Federal Parliament in Melbourne (9 May 1901), and of the Provisional Parliament House in Canberra (9 May 1927).

How is the compass used today?
A compass is a navigational instrument for determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. It consists of a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the North end) free to align itself with Earth's magnetic field. The compass greatly improved the safety and efficiency of travel, especially ocean travel. A compass can be used to calculate heading, used with a sextant to calculate latitude, and with a marine chronometer to calculate longitude. It thus provides a much improved navigational capability that has only been recently supplanted by modern devices such as the Global Positioning System (GPS). A compass is any magnetically sensitive device capable of indicating the direction of the magnetic north of a planet's magnetosphere. The face of the compass generally highlights the cardinal points of north, south, east and west. Often, compasses are built as a stand alone sealed instrument with a magnetized bar or needle turning freely upon a pivot, or moving in a fluid, thus able to point in a northerly and southerly direction. The compass was invented in ancient China around 247 B.C., and was used for navigation by the 11th century. The dry compass was invented in medieval Europe around 1300.[1] This was supplanted in the early 20th century by the liquid-filled magnetic compass.[2]
Other, more accurate devices have been invented for determining north that do not depend on the Earth's magnetic field for operation (known in such cases as true north, as opposed to magnetic north). A gyrocompass or astrocompass can be used to find true north, while being unaffected by stray magnetic fields, nearby electrical power circuits or nearby masses of ferrous metals. A recent development is the electronic compass, or fibre optic gyrocompass, which detects the magnetic directions without potentially fallible moving parts. This device frequently appears as an optional subsystem built into GPS receivers. However, magnetic compasses remain popular, especially in remote areas, as they are relatively inexpensive, durable, and require no electrical power supply.[3]

When was the first Australian Federal parliament opened?

Yes, Alaska is a state, within the United States of America. It was granted its statehood on January 3rd of 1959.

How many stars does the European flag have?
There are currently (as of August 2016) 50 stars on the American flag and thirteen stripes for the thirteen colonies.
Note: At one time they added stripes along with the stars - the Star Spangled Banner that flew over Fort McHenry had 15 stripes. The 15-star, 15-stripe flag was authorized by the Flag Act of January 13, 1794, adding 2 stripes and 2 Stars. The regulation went into effect on May 1, 1795. This flag was the only U.S. Flag to have more than 13 stripes. Realizing that the addition of a new star and new stripe for each new State was impractical, Congress passed the Flag Act of 1818 which returned the flag design to 13 stripes and specified 20 stars for the 20 states. All US flags since then have stuck to the rule of 13-stripes and 1 star for each state.
