Why did the ruler of the Mongol Empire decide to adopt certain Chinese customs? He wanted the Chinese people to live among the Mongols, so he bridged the two cultures. He believed that Chinese customs were superior to those of the Mongolian people, so he adopted them. He thought that Chinese customs could help the Mongols conquer other parts of Asia, so he changed tactics. He understood that Mongolian customs might not be accepted in China, so he made compromises.

Answers

Answer: He understood that Mongolian customs might not be accepted in China, so he made compromises.

Explanation:

The Mongol Empire´s adoption of some Chinese customs was not because they wanted the Chinese people to live among the Mongols, nor did they believed that Chinese customs were superior to those of the Mongolian people, or more useful to conquer other parts of Asia.

It was because the adoption of those customs helped legitimize Mongol rule. In 1272, when Kublai Khan established the Yuan dynasty following the tradition of the Chinese dynasty, he integrated the official form of government into the traditional Chinese political succession process. He also claimed to be an emperor by observing the ceremonies of the Confucian tradition.

The main goal of the Paris climate accord was to what?

Answers

Answer: to bring down the global greenhouse gas emissions to help stop/lessen the effects of climate change

Answer: THE BEST ANSWER IS

THIS HOPE I HELP YOU MARK ME BRAINLIST

The goals of the Paris agreement was to reduce carbon emissions and a global warming goal of  an average 2 degree Celsius. The main reason why the agreement has remained elusive and especially for developed countries is because of the tough balancing act of resource use and economic development as outlined in the sustainability debate.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The agreement aims to substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to limit the global temperature increase in this century to 2 degrees Celsius above pre industrial levels, while pursuing the means to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees.

Explanation:

The Paris Agreement's central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

The Paris Agreement sets out a global framework to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C. It also aims to strengthen countries' ability to deal with the impacts of climate change and support them in their efforts.

The Paris Agreement asks countries to actively develop new technology—such as improved renewable energy infrastructure—designed to help cut global emissions. The Agreement asks developed countries to cooperate in the seamless transfer of new climate technology to other countries.

The Paris Agreement places special emphasis on increasing the capacity for adaptation, strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerability to climate change

Answers

Answer:

1) The land was very fertile. In the Northern part of Mesopotamia, rivers and streams were fed from mountains. In addition, there was a rainy season that helped water the soil. While the southern region was much hotter and dryer, the two large rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates, allowed for irrigation. The cultures of Mesopotamia are considered civilizations because their people: had written, had settled communities in the form of villages, planted their own food, and had domesticated animals, and had different orders of workers. The populations of these cities were divided into social classes which, like societies in every civilization throughout history, were hiearchical. These classes were: The King and Nobility, The Priest and Priestesses, The Upper Class, the Lower Class, and The Slaves. Mesopotamia was ruled by kings. The kings only ruled a single city though, rather than the entire civilization. The wheel, plow and writing are examples of their achievements. Not only was Mesopotamia one of the first places to develop agriculture, it was also at the crossroads of the Egyptian and the Indus Valley civilizations.

2)Three different geography features in Ancient Egypt are the Desert, the Delta, and the Fertile Land. The desert was a barren place full fo sand dunes, mountains, and cliffs. The desert was a dangerous place and therefore acted as a natural barrier between ancient egypt and invading forein armies. Ancient Egypt cutlure was a diverse and rich mixture of various dimentions such as architecture, religious practices, class structure, sports, and political system. Like all religions, that of Ancient Egypt was complex. It evolved over the centuries from one that emphasized local deities into a national religion with a smaller number of pricipal dieties. Ancient Egypt had three main social classes: Upper, Middle, and lower. The government of ancient egypt was a theocratic monarchy as the king ruled by a mandate from the gods, intially was seen as a intermediary between human beings and the divine. The many achievements of the ancient egyptians included the quarrying, surveying and construction techniques that supported the building of monumental pyramids.

3)The most notable examples are the Ancient Egyptians, who were based on the Nile, the Mesopotamians in teh Fertile Crescent on the Tigris/Euphrates rivers, the Ancient Chinese on the Yellow River, and the Ancient Indian on the Indus. All these civilizations had certain features in common. They built cities and invented forms of writing. They learned to make pottery and use medals. They domesticated animals, and they created fairly complex social structures with class systems.

4) Ancient Greece had the Meditarian Sea to the south, the Ionian sea to the west, and the Aegean Sea to the east. The Greeks made important contributions to philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, and medicine. Ancient Greek theology was polytheistic, bassed on assumption that there were many gods, and goddesses, as well as a range of lesser supernatural beings of various types. Greece has social classes like: the upper class, the metics, or middle class, the lower class, or freedmen and the slave class. The four most common systems of Greek government were: Democracy, Monarchy, and Tyranny.

5)Primary sources are artifacts, documents, diaries, manuscripts, ect. Secondary Sources include academic books, journal articles, reviews, essays, ect.

6)The Hammurabi Code of laws, was establised standards for commercial interactions and set fines and punsihments to meet requirements of justice. Hammurabi's Code is both unjust and just due to the fact that they're harsh, but only because he wanted to keep the society from falling and for people to face equal punishments.
