I don't think the Arabian Sea borders Saudi Arabia but a different sea definitely does. So I'll rephrase my question what Sea is closest to Saudi Arabia.

I won't minus a point cuz Saudi Arabia is near the Arabian Sea but I don't believe it's the nearest.

Political Deadlock Led To The Great Coalition In The United Provinces Of Canada.

Canada West and Canada East were a part of Colonial Provinces. They both had an equal number of seats in the Legislative Assembly. Because different regions had different problems, more troubles and disagreements were made between.

There were four parties in the Legislative Assembly: two from Canada West and two from Canada East. The coalition government in power had difficult time getting majority of votes to pass legislation. That led to a political deadlock, and often changes in the government.

George Brown was the one that agreed to work with him political enemies, which formed a Great Coalition. There were tree out of four parties in the Legislative Assembly of the United Provinces of Canada that agreed to work with him

A railway linking the colonies was needed to increase trade and to move troops.

By 1860âs Canada West, Canada East, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick had its own railways, but none off them joined the actual colonies.

For the colonies to come together to form one country.


That is what I have though I am not sure on the last one I tried to remember.

You got a point taken away because a few of those weren't correct, and you didn't have all the reasons.

1. Political deadlock led to the Great Coalition in the United Province of Canada.
2. A railway linking to the colonies was needed to increase trade and to move troops. And it would be less expensive for moving goods.
3. Cancellation of the Reciprocity treaty by the United States in 1865 ended free trade between British North America (BNA) and United States (US).
4. There was a threat to American expansion into the British North America (BNA).
5. Great Britain wanted her colonies to be more self sufficient.
6. Some people (especially in Canada West) want to expand settlement into Rupert's land and the North West Territories.


That I know because I remembered is right and there is only six.

Assuming that means reason, it was the fact Poland refused Germany some land it claimed as its own.

I'm wrong, aren't I?
