7. right.
1. The correct answer is c) led the Russian political expansion south and west. The Cossacks were a group of predominantly East Slavic people who played a significant role in the expansion of the Russian Empire towards the south and west. They acted as frontier guards and explorers, pushing the Russian borders further into territories such as Ukraine, Crimea, and the Caucasus.
To find the correct answer, you can rule out options a) and d) since the Cossacks did not lead the Russian expansion overseas or to the new world. Then, between options b) and c), you can eliminate option b) since the Cossacks did not primarily lead the Russian expansion eastward towards Siberia. Therefore, the correct answer is c) led the Russian political expansion south and west.
2. The correct answer is d) English Civil War. The English Civil War was fought between supporters of the King (King Charles I) and supporters of Parliament (led by Oliver Cromwell). It took place in the mid-17th century (1642-1651) and resulted in the defeat and execution of King Charles I, leading to a period of parliamentary rule known as the Interregnum.
To find the correct answer, you can eliminate options a) and b) since the Thirty Years' War and the War of the Roses were different conflicts. Option c) is also incorrect as the conflict was not specifically called the Parliamentary Revolution. Therefore, the correct answer is d) English Civil War.
3. The correct answer to question 4 is c) policing of the seas. The Navigational Act of 1651 was a series of laws passed by the English Parliament that aimed to regulate colonial trade and secure England's dominance in maritime affairs. These acts required all colonial trade to be carried out on English ships and expanded the powers of the Royal Navy in patrolling and protecting English trade routes.
To find the correct answer, you can rule out options a) and b) since the Navigational Act did not mark the beginning of England's exploration of the New World or conflict with Spain over the seas. Option d) is also incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the purpose of the Navigational Act in relation to the American colonists. Therefore, the correct answer is c) policing of the seas.
4. The correct answer is a) France. During the American Revolutionary War, France was a key ally of the American colonists and provided crucial military and financial support. The French monarchy, led by King Louis XVI, saw an opportunity to weaken their long-standing rival, Britain, by supporting the American cause for independence.
To find the correct answer, you can eliminate options b) and c) since Spain and China were not allies of Britain during the Revolutionary War. Option d) is also incorrect as Britain did have allies during the war. Therefore, the correct answer is a) France.
