Gnaeus Pompey did not originally wish to join the First Triumvirate. What caused him to change his mind?

Answers

Answer:

Pompey only agreed to join the First Triumvirate so that his goals in Rome were supported.

Explanation:

First Triumvirate was a political alliance between Marcus Licinius Crassus, Pompey, and Julius Caesar. The idea was for the three men to help each other to achieve the goals and proposals they had for Rome and even for themselves. At first, Pompey did not want to participate in the First Triumvirate, because he did not support Crassus.

Pompey was a great general and Crassus was an extremely wealthy and influential man. Pompey wanted the Roman Senate to give land to veterans of his army. So they could colonize land in the name of Rome, in the eastern territories. This request was denied, which made him try to make alliances with powerful people like Julio Cesar and Crassus, so that this request could be considered.

if Walmart was never invented, which other retail store do you think would have as much impact as Walmart currently has?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\huge\colorbox{pink}{✏﹏ \: ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ \: }[/tex]

I'm guessing it would be Macy's Store.

Explanation:

Macy's Store has the latest fashion brands on women's and men's clothing, accessories, jewelry, beauty, shoes and home appliances. This is similar to what Walmart offers - so if Walmart was never invented or hadn't plunged into its present popularity I would say Macy's Store would have as much impact as Walmart currently has.

Answer:

It will be JC Penny

Here's the history

Explanation:

The history of Walmart can be traced back to the 1940s when Sam Walton began his career in retailing at J.C. Penney. In 1943 Walton met the Butler Brothers who owned the retail chain Ben Franklin Stores. On May 9, 1950, Walton purchased a store from Luther E. Harrison in Bentonville, Arkansas, and opened Walton's 5 & 10. Thus, the Ozark Mountain town of 2,900 residents would become the headquarters for the world's largest retailer.

In 1962 Walton invested 95% of the capital to open the first Walmart store.

1960s and 1970s

At some point Sam Walton made the decision to achieve higher sales volumes by keeping sales prices lower than his competitors by reducing his profit margin. Inspired by the successes of other discount department store chains, Walton opened the first store in his own discount chain in Rogers, Arkansas that year. Responsible for the purchase and maintenance of signage, Walton's assistant, Bob Bogle, came up with the name "Wal-Mart" for the new chain. By 1967, the company grew to 24 stores across the state of Arkansas, and had reached $12.6 million in sales, and by 1968, the company opened its first stores outside of Arkansas in Sikeston, Missouri and Claremore, Oklahoma. The company's first stock split occurred in May 1972 at a market price of $47. By this time, Walmart was operating in five states: Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Oklahoma, and entered Tennessee in 1973, and Kentucky and Mississippi in 1974. As the company moved into Texas in 1975, there were 125 stores with 7,500 associates, and total sales of $340.3 million.

What do you know about slavery in Haiti?

The European colonists from Portugal, Spain, and France who followed Christopher Columbus to the island in 1492 marked the beginning of slavery in Haiti. For the native population, the practice was catastrophic.

Following the near extinction of the native Tainos due to forced labor, sickness, and war, the Spanish, with the approval of the Catholic church and on the advice of the Catholic priest Bartolomé de las Casas, started using enslaved Africans for forced labor in earnest throughout the 17th century. Slavery served as the foundation of Saint-(current-day Domingue's Haiti) economy during the French colonial era, which began in 1625; slavery was rarely amicable, but conditions on Saint-Domingue grew infamously appalling.

The Haitian Revolution (1791–1803), the only successful slave uprising in recorded history, hastened the abolition of slavery throughout all French possessions, including Saint-Domingue.

Gettysburg address

The battle of Gettysburg left more than 51000 wounded or dead. what part of the address recognizes the enormity of the horror of battle?

Answers

Answer:

The last section or paragraph reconizes the horror faced on that battle ground when Lincoln says that the ground can not be conentrated as it has already been concentrated, it was done so by the lives of those who fought on those grounds and shed blood. The lives lost and blood shed will forever have already concentrated that ground and ade it what it is, not the speech or the meeting that day but the loss of life

Explanation:

From Lincolns Speech at the Gettysburg Address

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

On what were the boundaries of the African countries that gained their independence after World War II most often based?

Answers

Answer:

On divisions forced under European imperialism

Explanation:

The boundaries of the African countries that gained their independence after World War II was based on imperialism. The rise of Imperialism brought the rush to invasion, colonization, and expansion in Africa.

After World War II, many of the African countries gained independence from European imperialism.
