The statement 'They allowed the Romans to focus more on expanding into the Western Mediterranean' describes the Punic Wars contribution to the development of the Roman Empire.

Option: (A)

Explanation:

The Punic wars (264 – 146 B.C.) is a series of 'three wars' fought between Carthage and Rome, a then powerful city in northern Africa. The war started due to a dispute raised in the Island of Sicily, which was controlled by Carthage. Carthage was an established naval power during the 'first Punic war' (264 – 241 B.C.). But at the end of the first Punic war, Rome overpowered Carthage and became the land as well as naval power. It also took control of the Island of Sicily. Meanwhile, Carthage was able to occupy power in the territories of Spain. Carthaginian general named Hannibal invaded Rome during the 'second Punic war' (218 – 201 B.C.) with Spain as the base. He emerged 'victorious' in the initial attacks against Rome. However, Rome under the 'leadership of a young general Publius Cornelius Scipio' chased away Hannibal’s army and from here seized the lands of Spain. This allowed the 'Romans' to focus more on expanding into the 'Western Mediterranean'.

both eastern and western early north american cultures were known for building wigwams and longhouses.

wigwams, also called wetus, were small houses of 8-10 feet tall, made of wooden frames covered with woven mats and sheets that were used by algonquian indians. similarly, longhouses were also used by algonquian and the iroquois tribes, and they were built as well with pole frames and elm bark covering. however, the main difference between wigwams and longhouses is that the latter was much larger than the former, with 200 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 20 feet high with inner raised platforms used for sleeping space.
