cause and effect question # 11 match each cause to its effect. cause effect spain and great britain go to war in 1739. drop here oglethorpe and the highland scots defeat the spanish forces at the battle of bloody marsh. drop here georgia colony struggles economically, james oglethorpe departs, malcontents disagree with the rules the trustees established, and the trustees cannot get more funding from the british parliament. drop here options spanish forces land on st. simons island in 1742. the trustees give up control of georgia a year before the charter is set to expire. spanish forces retreat from georgia and do not return.

Explanation:

To solve this cause - effect matching problem, we analyze each cause and its corresponding effect:

1. Cause: Spain and Great Britain go to war in 1739.

When two countries go to war, military actions follow. So, the effect of this war would be that Spanish forces land on St. Simons Island in 1742 as a part of the military operations during the war.

2. Cause: Oglethorpe and the Highland Scots defeat the Spanish forces at the Battle of Bloody Marsh.

A military defeat usually leads to the retreat of the defeated forces. So, the effect of this defeat is that Spanish forces retreat from Georgia and do not return.

3. Cause: Georgia colony struggles economically, James Oglethorpe departs, malcontents disagree with the rules the trustees established, and the trustees cannot get more funding from the British parliament.

These multiple issues (economic struggle, leadership departure, internal disagreements, and lack of funding) would lead the trustees to give up control of Georgia a year before the charter is set to expire as they are no longer able to effectively manage the colony.

Matching:

• "Spain and Great Britain go to war in 1739." → "Spanish forces land on St. Simons Island in 1742."
• "Oglethorpe and the Highland Scots defeat the Spanish forces at the Battle of Bloody Marsh." → "Spanish forces retreat from Georgia and do not return."
• "Georgia colony struggles economically, James Oglethorpe departs, malcontents disagree with the rules the trustees established, and the trustees cannot get more funding from the British parliament." → "The trustees give up control of Georgia a year before the charter is set to expire."

Answer:

• Cause: Spain and Great Britain go to war in 1739. Effect: Spanish forces land on St. Simons Island in 1742.
• Cause: Oglethorpe and the Highland Scots defeat the Spanish forces at the Battle of Bloody Marsh. Effect: Spanish forces retreat from Georgia and do not return.
• Cause: Georgia colony struggles economically, James Oglethorpe departs, malcontents disagree with the rules the trustees established, and the trustees cannot get more funding from the British parliament. Effect: The trustees give up control of Georgia a year before the charter is set to expire.
