Answer:
WWI had several undesirable features the most important being:
Tanks were not reliable: tanks broke down with astounding regularity at such a rate that initially most tanks would not make it through the first 24 hours of combat. The reliability was improved as experience was gained but remained high throughout the war.
Tanks were slow; about the same speed as a walking man or not much more (at least the large ones). The smaller variety achieved higher speed over firm and flat surfaces, such as they could encounter after a breakthrough. But to get there they had to navigate the crater infested battlefields, with additional obstacles such as trenches, rubble, etc. The operational speed was not impressive to say the least.
Explanation:
Tanks were toxic: men fought alongside a smoke generating engine, in a confined space in which they generated more fumes from their own weapons. Add the noise and heat of the weapons and engine and it is no surprise that crew performance suffered as a result.
Tanks were dangerous to the crew: they had no safety gear. As the tanks rumble across the battlefield, the crew was subjected to shocks and was liable to be thrown about, colliding with the mechanical gear and/or the weapons themselves. In a famous demonstration for the British King, half the crew was knocked out when they drove over an alleged bunker!
Tanks were not impervious to armor piercing rounds nor to field artillery: tanks sported large steel plates, but these were not in lined nor shape in any manner. Thus they relied on sheer depth to stop penetration. But penetration was not the only threat. The metal plates were subject to "spalding" where flecks of molten metal would detach from the inside surface of the plates, striking the crew and injuring them.
Tanks were relatively short ranged: the fuel consumption was high, the fuel reservoirs were small, thus severely limiting the combat range, not that they were expected to go that far: penetrating a few kilometers to the third trench system was all that was expected until plans were made for the 1919 Campaign.
They were heavy and cumbersome: once immobilized, they had to be repaired in situ. They were no tank recovery vehicles to speak of. This means that if and when the Germans recapture the battlefield in a counter-attack, they captured the tanks and could them back in operation for themselves. This happened more than what admitted at the time.
These are the 'cons'. What about the 'pros'?
If and where they did not break down or became disabled due to enemy fire or difficult terrain, they were very effective, especially in the absence of effective infantry anti-tank weapons. They did overcome the barbed wire, trenches, and most machine gun resistance encountered and facilitated if not created breakthrough for the following infantry.
Tanks were 'force multipliers', transporting a few men and weapons to the crucial battlefield spots where they could the most damage.
Tanks, at least initially, were shock and awe weapons. German infantry, generally defenseless against them (on their own), would be affected and this reduced their combat effectiveness. As experience was gained, they lost some, but not all, of the morale impact.
Tanks represented the weapons of the future. Given field experience and increasingly better technology, they were the precursor to the armored fighting vehicles of the 30's and 40's.
How does rational basis test for equal protection differ from the strict scrutiny test?
Rational basis test: lenient, government must show rational relationship to legitimate interest.
Strict scrutiny test: strict, government must show compelling interest, narrowly tailored.
Two criteria are used by courts to assess equal protection claims made in accordance with the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution: the rational basis test and the strict scrutiny test.
The government must demonstrate that a law or policy has a rational connection to a legitimate government interest in order to pass the lenient rational basis test. This standard is frequently used when neither a fundamental right nor a suspect classification (such as race or national origin) is in question.
The government must demonstrate a compelling interest in the law or policy, as well as the fact that it is specifically tailored to serve that interest, in order to pass the strict scrutiny test which has a much higher bar. This test is typically used when a fundamental right is at stake or when a particular suspect category is being scrutinized.

For what reasons did the US have interest in building a canal in South America?
Answer:
The main reason why the Americans wanted the Panama Canal built was to cut travel time from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans.
Explanation (if you need it) :
The Panama Canal was inaugurated in 1914. Its construction had been started by the French, and when they abandoned the project, the Americans took it in 1903.
The intention of Theodore Roosevelt's government was to shorten travel time and distances between the two coasts of the United States, while creating a fast and accessible connection between both oceans, which would allow America to compete more easily in trade international, also giving a greater capacity to react to the Navy in case of a war.
Until that moment, the sea route that connected both oceans was around the Strait of Magellan, with which the American ships had to surround all South America to get from one ocean to the other.

Describe ONE way in which the document reflects the specific historical situation of Spain’s maritime exploration and colonization in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not include the text or the document to know what you are talking about.
However, doing some deep research, we can say the following.
One way in which the document reflects the specific historical situation of Spain’s maritime exploration and colonization in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries is the moment the document expresses the following: "On behalf of the king and queen of Spain, we notify you that the pope has donated to them these islands and lands and all who have received this notice should receive and serve their Highnesses as subjects ought to do. We ask that you acknowledge the Church and the pope as the ruler of the whole world."
But the monarchy of Spain -in an arrogant way, felt it had the power to impose its will because paragraphs later, the document threatens the Native Indians of the region in the following way: "But if you do not obey, we shall powerfully enter into your country, and shall make war against you and shall subject you to the yoke and obedience of the Church and the king and queen of Spain."
Those ideas were taken from the document titled "The Demand," issued by the council of Castile in 1510.
Let's have in mind that Spanish King Ferdinand de Aragon and Queen Isabella del Castile sponsored the trip of Christopher Columbus to explore and discover a new maritime route to the West Indies. As we know, he ended up discovering the American Continent on October 12, 1492. When the Spanish explorers realized that the new territory was full of raw materials and natural resources, they wanted to conquer and colonize, the new lands to exploit the natural resources and be rich, and to evangelize the Native American Indians to spread Catholicism.

Answer:
Explanation:
Economic transformations and technological advances moved ever more Americans into cities. Industry advanced onward and drew millions of workers into the new cities. Manufacturing needed large pools of labor and advanced infrastructure only available in the cities, where electricity kept the lights on and transported ever growing numbers of people along electric trolley lines and upward in elevators inside the towering skyscrapers made possible by new mass produced steel and advanced engineering. America’s urban population increased seven fold in the half-century after the Civil War. Soon the United States had more large cities than any country in the world. The 1920 U.S. census revealed that, for the first time, a majority of Americans lived in urban areas. Much of America’s urban growth came from the millions of immigrants pouring into the nation. Between 1870 and 1920, over 25 million immigrants arrived in the United States. At first streams of migration continued patterns set before the Civil War but, by the turn of the twentieth century, new groups such as Italians, Poles, and Eastern European Jews made up larger percentages of arrivals while Irish and German immigration dissipated. This massive movement of people to the United States was influenced by a number of causes, what historians typically call “push” and “pull” factors. In other words, certain conditions in home countries encouraged people to leave and other factors encouraged them to choose the United States (instead of say, Canada, Australia, or Argentina) as their destination. For example, a young husband and wife living in Sweden in the 1880s and unable to purchase farmland might read an advertisement for inexpensive land in the American Midwest and choose to sail to the United States. A young Italian might hope to labor in a steel factory for several years and save up enough money to return home and purchase land for a family. Or a Russian Jewish family, eager to escape European pogroms, might look to the United States as a sanctuary. Or perhaps a Japanese migrant might hear of fertile farming land on the West Coast and choose to sail for California. There were numerous factors that pushed people out of their homelands, but by far the most important factor drawing immigrants to the United States between 1880 and 1920 was the maturation of American capitalism. Immigrants poured into the cities looking for work.

Last year I went on my first archaeological dig in South America. It was an amazing experience. I had no idea what we might find. As I watched the archaeologists work, I realized how slow and detailed this kind of work could be. It took weeks and even months before we found any clues. Finally, my friend's shovel hit a metal object and made a loud noise. She called for help. I knew this was something big! When we carefully pulled it out of the ground together, we could hardly believe our eyes.

Short Answer
A) Analyze how each of the following factors contributed to western settlement from 1854 to 1890.
Desire for natural resources
Federal government policies
Technological developments
B) Explain how that settlement led to conflicts with and damage to American Indian communities.
Answer:
Desire for natural resources.
Explanation:
Main factors which contributed to western settlement from 1854 to 1890 are desire for natural resources such as fertile land, gold, logging and farming. This western settlement led to conflicts between American Indian communities and new settlers because these lands belongs to American Indian communities and they would not allow foreign people to capture their lands so that's why conflict occurs between American Indian communities and new settlers.
Answer:
A) Analyze how each of the following factors contributed to western settlement from 1854 to 1890:
-The desire for natural resources including fertile land, timber, and precious metals and minerals that had been discovered in western territories contributed to western settlement from 1854 to 1890 because the opportunity to profit from these newly available resources drew both independent settlers and corporate interests to the West. The discovery of gold in western territories sparked the Gold Rush, as prospective gold diggers migrated En Masse into the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest. Settlers of the west were also inspired by the ideology of Manifest Destiny, the idea that Americans were divinely ordained to settle the entire North American continent.
-Federal government policies contributed to western settlement from 1854 to 1890 because the government passed legislation which encouraged western settlement. The Homestead Act granted large amounts of western land to citizens who met certain requirements, and people were drawn by the availability of cheap land for farming, logging, and ranching. The US government also helped westward expansion by promoting trade and transportation-granting land to railroad companies and extending telegraph wires across the country. The Indian Appropriations Act of 1851 established the reservation system; reservations of specific land for American Indians to inhabit as a method of keeping Native American tribes off of the lands that white Americans wished to settle.
-Technological developments contributed to western settlement from 1854 to 1890 because they made it possible for people and resources to migrate more easily and more quickly into western territories. Improved transportation by rail brought settlers to the American West, and extended telegraph wires across the country allowed settlers to communicate more efficiently with the rest of the country. Technological developments in land development, mining, and new agricultural machinery allowed settlers to more easily extract resources from the new land which they needed to live and make income. The railroads opened up the West not only to settlement but to the world market, making it possible to ship meat and crops to distant cities and even across oceans
B) Explain how that settlement led to conflicts with and damage to American Indian communities-
Western settlement led to conflicts between white settlers and American Indians over land and natural resources which resulted from Indian resistance to the imposition of the reservation system and the repeated attempts of the US Army to forcibly remove Native Americans from their tribal lands, damaging American Indian communities. Relations between white Europeans and Native Americans were dictated by competition for natural resources that had been discovered in western territories. Because settlers of the west were inspired by the ideology of Manifest Destiny, they settled further into western territory believing that it was their right and destiny to do so. Because these settlers took over the lands that Indian tribes inhabited and used, they increasingly came into violent conflict with Native American Indians that they encountered over land and natural resources. The settlement also led to conflicts between the U.S. government and American Indian communities because of differences between Native American and American conceptions of land and ownership. Because the Indian Removal Act of 1830 which authorized the forced removal of Indian tribes from their ancestral lands in the Southeast to designated “Indian territory” west of the Mississippi River had resulted in fierce resistance to the forced relocations that was crushed by the force of the U.S. Army, Native Americans in the west resisted the imposition of the reservation system on their own territories established by the Indian Appropriations Act of 1851 in the same way, sparking a series of bloody battles that ultimately led to the forced relocation of most Native Americans onto the reservations. The discovery of gold in the Black Hills region of South Dakota brought prospective miners into the area and onto the hunting grounds of the Sioux Indians. The US Army responded to the pleas of the white settlers and miners for protection against the Sioux, resulting in the Battle of the Little Bighorn. This conflict was significant because although it was a major victory for the Sioux, they abandoned their encampment fearing further reprisals from the US Army, which marked the beginning of the end of the Indian Wars, as remaining tribes were forced to cede their lands and move onto the reservations.

(BRAINLIEST QUESTION) Why did President Theodore Roosevelt feel that building the Panama Canal had become a military necessity for the United States?
Relations between the United States and Mexico had deteriorated and a canal would allow the US Navy to enforce a blockade of Mexico
The Panama Canal could be fortified and used as a defense against an invasion from South America into Central America.
The US acquisition of Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico meant the US Navy would need to defend territories in both oceans.
There were no shipyards on the west coast of the United States, so the canal was needed to move warships to the Pacific Ocean.
Answer: The US acquisition of Guam, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico meant the US Navy would need to defend territories in both oceans.
Explanation:
The United States was a huge country with coastlines on both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans and then as a result of the Spanish American war, gained territories in the Pacific being Guam, Philippians and Hawaii as well as Puerto Rico in the Atlantic.
The US therefore needed a way to move their military resources from one coast to the other to defend these territories, coastlines and exert American control over both oceans. The solution was the Panama canal and so the US built it through Gun-boat diplomacy.
