I paid $1.69 for my Snack Size McFlurry (a full ten cents cheaper than the $1.79 charged at my local McDonald's).
What were four reasons for the decline of Spain as a world power? Spain's power began to decline because of the defeat of the Spanish Armada, influx in gold/silver income, much fighting over wealth and losing the battles, and not many coloni â¦ es or vice-royalties to rely on for agricultural income.
By defeating Spain, the USA gained two things: 1) it kicked out a European power from its doorstep, so to speak, (i.e., Cuba) making it the dominant power in North America; and 2) it gained an outpost in the Western Pacific by annexing the Philippines.
