I’m what way was captain john smith instrumental in the survival of the jamestown colony? he insisted that all colonists work on producing food if they were to eat he planned the goods the colonist should take so they’d survive after landing he cemented an alliance with powhatan by bonding with his daughter, pocahontas he secured trade with the indians so they had enough food to survive harsh winters

John Smith helped in the survival of the Jamestown by conversing with the Natives in the area and trading theirgoods in exchange for food (and seeds to grow crops). The Natives also showed the settlers where the right soil to grow them were.

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
