A. Identify ONE way in which the author challenges commonly held assumptions about the Americas in the age of European colonialism. B. Explain ONE example of a society other than the Comanche that made the type of transition described by the author in the first paragraph.

C. Explain ONE example of a nomadic empire other than the Comanche that successfully confronted an established state or states in world history.

A. ONE way in which the author challenges commonly held assumptions about the Native Americas in the age of European colonialism is that the Comanche expanded their reach across the American Southwest.

The author also challenges the notion that the Native Americans were not adaptable to the changes introduced by the Europeans, preferring to adhere strictly to their traditions by showing that they learned how to use horses.

B. ONE example of a society other than the Comanche that made the transition described by the author in the first paragraph was the Xiongnu people, a nomadic Chinese people, who were herding nomads using the land and the animals on it to their greatest advantage.

The Comanches are a Native American tribe that inhabited the Great Plains of the present-day United States, living in present-day northwestern Texas and adjacent areas in eastern New Mexico, southeastern Colorado, southwestern Kansas, western Oklahoma, and northern Chihuahua.

C. ONE example of a nomadic empire other than the Comanche that successfully confronted an established state or states in world history was the Mongol empire, which conquered a large part of the land and completely controlled trade within their empire.

The Mongols moved seasonally, living nomadic lives in tents, while they militarily conquered Russia, Korea, and China, making the Mongols the owners of the largest land empire in history.

Thus, these examples show that empires continue to expand and contract, just like the Comanches and the Mongols.
