a) Identify ONE transfer of control from a non-state to a state between 1750 and 1900.

During the 19th century, the United States continued taking land from indigenous peoples. One notorious

episode was the forced relocation of Eastern Woodlands in what is now Oklahoma. So many Native

Americans died from exposure, malnutrition, disease, and exhaustion that this forced migration became

known as the Trail of Tears.

b) Identify ONE diplomatic process by which power in Africa was shifted among European

nations between 1750 and 1900.

Europe had a long-standing relationship with Africa because of the slave trade. Although most European

countries had declared the importation of Africans as slave labor illegal by the early 1800s, Europeans

continued to export guns, alcohol, and other manufactured goods to Africa and import African natural

resources, such as palm oil, gold, and ivory. England desired palm oil in particular because it kept

European empires thriving throughout the African continent.

c) Explain how the United States gained power in different parts of the world between 1750 and

1900.

Economic considerations, as well as feelings of nationalism and cultural superiority, drove Americans’

desire for territorial conquest. A group of American planters overthrew Hawaii’s constitutional monarchy

in 1895, but the islands did not become a U.S. territory until 1900. In the meantime, the U.S. victory in

the Spanish-American War in 1898 brought Guam, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines under U.S.

control. President Theodore Roosevelt was eager to expand U.S. influence throughout the WEstern

Hemisphere. The 1904 Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine stated that if countries in Latin

America demonstrated “instability,” the United States would intervene.

the beginning of the iditarod trail sled dog race. the iditarod trail sled dog race first ran to nome in 1973.   the trail they used is today known as the iditarod trail, first surveyed by the alaska road commission in 1908 and now one of the national historic trails as so designated by the congress of the united states.

what inspired

the children of nome were dying in january 1925. infected with diphtheria, they wheezed and gasped for air, and every day brought a new case of the lethal respiratory disease. nome’s lone physician, dr. curtis welch, feared an epidemic that could put the entire village of 1,400 at risk. he ordered a quarantine but knew that only an antitoxin serum could ward off the fast-spreading disease.the nearest batch of the life-saving medicine, however, rested more than 1,000 miles away in anchorage. nome’s ice-choked harbor made sea transport impossible, and open-cockpit airplanes could not fly in alaska’s subzero temperatures. with the nearest train station nearly 700 miles away in nenana, canine power offered nome its best hope for a speedy delivery.sled dogs regularly beat alaska’s snowy trails to deliver mail, and the territory’s governor, scott c. bone, recruited the best drivers and dog teams to stage a round-the-clock relay to transport the serum from nenana to nome. on the night of january 27, 1925, a train whistle pierced nenana’s stillness as it arrived with the precious cargo—a 20-pound package of serum wrapped in protective fur. musher “wild bill” shannon tied the parcel to his sled. as he gave the signal, the paws of shannon’s nine malamutes pounded the snow-packed trail on the first steps of a 674-mile “great race of mercy” through rugged wilderness, across frozen waterways and over treeless tundra.even by alaskan standards, this winter night packed extra bite, with temperatures plummeting to 60 degrees below zero fahrenheit. although every second was precious as the number of confirmed cases in nome mounted, shannon knew he needed to control his speed. if his dogs ran too fast and breathed too deeply in such frigid conditions, they could frost their lungs and die of exposure. although shannon ran next to the sled to raise his own body temperature, he still developed hypothermia and frostbite on the 52-mile leg to tolovana before handing off the serum to the second dog team.
