Answer:
Polis was a city state in ancient Greece, it was sort of where philosophy was invented. The literal meaning of the word 'polis' translated to english is 'city'
Acropolis is a structure in ancient greece, typically built on a hill, and heavily fortified.
Agora is an open public space that was usually used for gatherings and markets in ancient greece.
Hoplite is a foot soldier of ancient greece. They bore heavy shields and spears. You've probably seen cartoons and movies with them in it. They had the red feather mohawk on their helmets. They had a very unique fighting style, they'd line up in rows, put their sheild in front of them, and stick the spear upward and out in front, then they'd charge at the enemy. It worked pretty well for them, and it is still used today, not in war, but police use it.
Phalanx is essentially what I explained above about the ancient greek fighting style. The phalanx is the formation the greeks took up in battles, one big mass of heavily armed hoplites.
Democracy was, I believe, invented by the greeks, I forget if that's true, do NOT take my word on that. Anyway, democracy is a system of government where the citizens get to choose their legislation.
Oligarchy is what it's called when a country or an organization have total control of everything. So, for example, if you're stuck on a deserted island with 50 other people, but the 5 oldest have complete control of everything, making them a council of elders, then that would be an oligarchy. The leaders don't have to be old though, I just like councils of elders.
Helot is somone in ancient greece who is a little more than a slave, but no quite deemed a citizen. Helots made up a lot of the population in sparta territories.
And last but not least, and Ephor is a leader of the sparta in the ancient greece cities of heraclea and taras.

Europeans also died from those same diseases however as shown above with the death of 80% of them in this instance. De Vaca's host was able to stave off revenge killing on the Europeans by showing the Natives that Europeans were equally affected and so did not spread the disease on purpose.

Answer:
Your answer is C.
Explanation:
Assess how the Korean War was a victory for neither side. Provide examples to support this conclusion.
Answer:The document was not a peace treaty. It provided for a truce. The historic occasion had no mark of formality and no sense of finality. The representatives signed the agreement without speaking a single word to each other, and no one offered handshakes. The South Korean representatives refused to sign and did not join in the meeting. There surely was no ceremony comparable to the one on the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay in September 1945. The New York Times reported from the treaty site, "Outside the thin wooden walls there was the mutter of artillery fire - a grim reminder that even as the truce was being signed men were still dying on near-by hills and the fight would continue for twelve more hours."

How would the Wilmot Proviso affect California and New Mexico if passed?
Answer:
Bill proposed after the Mexican War that stated that neither slavery no involuntary servitude shall ever exist in any territory gained from Mexico. It was never passed through both houses but it transformed the debate of slavery. Proposed by David Wilmot Elias, Howe invents Sewing Machine (1846)Invented by Elias Howe; made making clothing faster and cheaper., revolutionizes the way clothes were made in factories and homes earning businesses more money. Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848)(1848) treaty signed by the U.S. and Mexico that officially ended the Mexican-American War; Mexico had to give up much of its northern territory to the U.S (Mexican Cession); in exchange the U.S. gave Mexico $15 million and said that Mexicans living in the lands of the Mexican Cession would be protected This treaty was negotiated by the chief clerk of the State Department, Nicholas P. Trist, after a few failed attempts at an armistice. He signed the treaty on February 2nd, 1848. The treaty was very successful, giving America claim to Texas, and all of the land west of Texas stretching up to Oregon, including California. The U.S. paid $15 million for the land, which increased the size of the country by about 1/3. Some were resentful of the victory over Mexico and the terms of the treaty because they thought that the U.S. should get all of Mexico. Others were angry because they thought Polk hadn't followed the "Anglo-Saxon spirit of fair play."

Why are questions on the causes and solutions for the Great Depression controversial today
Answer:
The Great Depression was the largest economic crisis in the history of capitalism, which took place between 1929 and 1933 and affected virtually all countries and practically all sectors of the economy. It is traditionally assumed that the crisis appeared in the United States after the so-called Black Thursday on October 24, 1929, when, according to preserved information, the prices of virtually all shares fell sharply, entailing a chain of bankruptcies and debts that gradually spread to almost all countries.
The effects of the crisis were mitigated by the New Deal, a program of economic and social reforms (involving the employment of the unemployed in state-led investments) introduced by President Roosevelt; the economic doctrine of Keynesianism assuming state intervention in the economy gained popularity at that time which for many years then dominated in the theory and practice of the economy of capitalist countries.

The U.S. is often described as a two-party system. The Democrats and the Republicans are said to hold a duopoly, meaning that they share almost all the political power in the country. Several other countries have a larger number of parties. For example, Japan has at least four parties and Israel has at least twelve parties each vying for power in the elections. Please explain at least 2 ways in which the U.S. government and electoral process would change if a third party emerged and political power in the U.S. was split across three political parties instead of two.
Answer:
The United States has only two major political parties: the Democrats and the Republicans. These parties have a Duopoly, meaning that they share almost all the political power in the country.
Parties In Other Democracies
Most democratic countries have more than two parties. In Israel, for example, twelve parties or party alliances held seats in the seventeenth Knesset. Japan has several major parties, including the Liberal Democratic Party, the Democratic Party of Japan, the New Komeito, and the Japanese Communist Party.
The Electoral System
In the United States, a candidate wins the election by gaining a Plurality, or more votes than any other candidate. This is a Winner-Take-All System because there is no reward for the party or candidate that finishes second. Parties aim to be as large as possible, smoothing over differences among candidates and voters. There is no incentive to form a party that consistently gets votes but cannot win an election. As a result, two political parties usually dominate plurality electoral systems to the disadvantage of smaller third parties, just as the Democrats and the Republicans dominate the American political system. No one person or organization prevents third parties from forming, but the plurality system itself usually hinders their efforts to win votes.
The United States also has mostly Single-Member Districts, meaning that each legislative district sends only one member to the legislature. There is no benefit to finishing second. Some countries use Multiple-Member Districts, which makes it easier for minor parties to succeed because there are more members winning seats in the legislature.
The Electoral College
The Electoral College exacerbates the winner-take-all system because in all but two states, whoever wins the most popular votes wins all of the state’s electoral votes in the presidential election. The electoral rules favor a two-party system, and minor parties have a very difficult time competing in such a system. Even successful third-party candidates often fail to get a single electoral vote.
Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada must honor the Native American reservation treaties drawn up by the..........government for the Native American Nations.

They were welcomed and allowed to build a mosque.
They were persecuted and forced to flee to Medina.
HISTORY TEST TIMED

They were discriminated against, and the Kaaba was destroyed
Explanation:
The importance of Mecca and Abd-al-Malik grew as more people accepted the claim, and he eventually defeated his rivals and rebuilt the Kaaba, and started putting verses from the Quran on public inscriptions, and all Muslims started to make the haj to Mecca instead of Jerusalem or Hebron. Mecca hasn’t looked back since.
What lessons can you learn from the early history of Christianity in Asia?
Answer:
Jesus.
Christianity started in Asia.
Explanation:
But back in those days people didn’t know Asia as a continent, it was a Roman province on the western coast of what is now Turkey. If you read Acts chapter 19 you’ll see that St Paul preached in Ephesus, which was in what was then called Asia, and he found disciples there already, so someone had been there before him. And we also read that people from that old, smaller Asia were in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, and some of them perhaps took the message back with them.
I hope it help.
Invention: Airplane
Inventor: The Wright Brothers
HOW IT CHANGED AMERICA
Answer:
The Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were two American inventors, creators of the first motor plane that could fly autonomously, in 1903. From this invention, modern aviation began to develop, first as a means of transport and then as an instrument of war through the air forces. Thus, this allowed the United States to develop in two ways: first, by shortening distances throughout its vast territory; and then through the evolution and modernization of its armed forces, which gave it a vast advantage over the other nations of the world.
