What was the initial hope for economic success for the Jamestown colony, and how did this hope contribute to the disastrous start for the colony? Describe the hardships faced by the Jamestown settlers.

The colonists at Jamestown were not particularly skilled farmers. Many of them were professionals: religious people who wanted to escape religious persecution in England.

They hoped that they would engage in active trade with the Native Americans.

This hope proved to be untrue. When the colonists arrived, the region sorrounding Jamestown was experiencing a serious drought, and the Native Americans were short of food. They did not have enough spare produce to trade with the colonists, and the colonists represented more competition for the limited resources.

Most colonies perished either form starvation or disease, making the Jamestown colony a failed attempt to colonize the area.

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
