Explanation:

The entry into the war of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland or of France in favor of the Confederation would have greatly increased the chances of the South to gain independence from the Union. This, under the control of Lincoln and Secretary of State William Henry Seward, worked to prevent European powers from getting involved. He threatened that if they recognized the Confederation, this would amount to a declaration of war. Neither the United Kingdom nor France came to recognize the Confederate government as legitimate. In 1861, the Southerners seized all shipments of cotton with the hope of generating an economic depression in Europe that forced Britain to go to war to get cotton. This policy applied to cotton was totally ineffective while the agricultural crisis in Europe from 1860 to 1862 increased grain exports from the northern states to the Old World as they were essential to avoid famine. It was said that "The Corn King was more powerful than the Cotton King" because the cereals of the Union went from assuming a quarter of British imports to being half of them.

When the United Kingdom had to deal with the shortage of cotton, it went to the markets of Egypt and India, where its cultivation was greatly increased. In addition, the war created work in the manufacture of weapons, in the smithies and on British transport ships that transported all kinds of goods to both sides.

Charles Francis Adams, American ambassador to London, displayed intense activity to prevent the British government from abandoning its neutrality, so the United Kingdom was reluctant to challenge the blockade to which the Confederate ports were being subjected. The Confederation bought several warships in British shipyards. The most famous was the CSS Alabama, which caused quite a lot of damage, so it was the cause of several disputes after the war. However, public opinion against slavery led to a feeling of political responsibility among European politicians, especially the British. The war was about to erupt between the United States and the United Kingdom due to the Trent Affair, in which the USS Jacinto unionist approached the British RMS Trent to stop two Confederate diplomats. However, London and Washington were able to soften the dispute when Lincoln released the two prisoners.

In 1862, the British considered mediating the conflict although that offer could have led to war with the Union. Lord Palmerston read Uncle Tom's Cabin three times when he was thinking about the issue of mediation. The victory of the Union in the battle of Antietam led him to delay his decision. The Emancipation Proclamation reinforced the political responsibility of supporting the Confederation. Despite the sympathies for the newly created country, the French invasion of Mexico definitely led France to avoid war with the Union. The offer of the Confederates at the end of the war to abolish slavery in exchange for diplomatic recognition was not taken seriously by London or Paris.

pacal the great: the throne was passed on to pacal through a female; as a result, he believed that he must legitimize his claim to the throne to add stability to his reign.

as a result, the daughter of ac kan's brother ruled until her son, pacal, reached an age old enough to assume the throne.

pacal the great became the king of the mayan city of palenque in a different way than most mayan kings.

pacal pointed out that ac kan had succeeded his mother as ruler, thereby establishing a precedent for the rule to pass through a female.  

he tried to justify that the way he gained the throne by connecting his mother with the divine mother and the mythological events that happened during the creation of the world.  

typically, the son of a male mayan ruler inherited the throne, but in 612 ce, king ac kan died and did not leave behind a male heir.

montezuma 1: even so, these wars of conquest failed to provide enough human sacrifices and because of this, he formed a triple alliance with cities in the valley of puebla-tlascala.  

in addition, montezuma realized that his government failed to the aztecs during the famine.

in order to appease him, montezuma increased the number of human sacrifices.

the aztec performed human sacrifices to their god huitzilopotchli because they believed he desired human blood.  

around 1440 ce, montezuma i became the fifth emperor of the aztecs and went on to rule for 28 years.  

soon after he assumed the throne, the aztecs were hit with a series of disasters, namely a plague of locusts, a flood, and a harsh frost  

huayna capac: huayna capac also fought to gain territories north of his empire in what is now ecuador.  

huayna capac significantly extended the inca empire to the south, into what is now argentina and chile.  

in 1493 ce, huayna capac became the eleventh ruler of the inca empire.  

huayna, therefore, wanted to gain his own lands and launched campaigns against tribes to the east and north of the empire.  

the inca empire reached its peak under the rule of huayna capac.

during this time the empire covered a vast territory including parts of present day colombia, peru, argentina, chile, bolivia, and ecuador.

during his reign, huayna heard about bearded men with pale skin that resembled the incan1 god viracocha and took this news as a bad omen.

huayna took this as another bad omen that predicted the destruction of the empire.
