What was the significance of the long parliament? a. its struggles with charles i led to the english civil war. b. its support of oliver cromwell created a dictatorship. c. it led to the restoration of the monarchy. d. it established a constitutional government.

The correct answer is the following: option A. The significance of the Long Parliament was that its struggles with Charles I led to the English Civil War.  Charles I was the monarch who summoned both Short and Long Parliaments in 1640 due to the fact he needed to raise money to wage the second Bishop's war against the Scotts. But when the Parliament started taking down the King's advisers, passed an act stating it was forbidden its dissolution without members consent, the friction between the Parliament and Charles I started to increase.

In January 1642, Charles I tried to detained 5 members of the Long Parliament. A year later in the midst of the tension between them both, the English Civil War broke out.

by 1890, the united states had by far the world's most productive economy. american industry produced twice as much as its closest competitor--britain. but the united states was not a great military or diplomatic power. its army numbered less than 30,000 troops, and its navy had only about 10,000 seamen. britain's army was five times the size of its american counterpart, and its navy was ten times bigger. the united states' military was small because the country was situated between two large oceans and was surrounded by weak or friendly nations. it faced no serious military threats and had little interest in asserting military power overseas.
