why was crossing the Rubicon with a standing army such a significant decision

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

An ancient Roman law forbade any general from crossing the River Rubicon and entering Italy proper with a standing army. The purpose of the law was to protect the republic from internal military threat. Crossing the Rubicon would reveal Caesar's ultimate aspirations and mark a point of no return.

In what ways did hitler break the treaty of Versailles ? What might you expect the consequences to be ? What were the actual consequences be?

Answers

The Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty and put an end to World War I. This treaty is known for being very harsh on Germany, making them take the blame for the war. Germany did not think they should be the only ones being held responsible for World War I. Not only this, but the treaty put heavy restrictions on Germany. They were forced to pay a large sum of money, limit their army, and give back the land they got during the war.

Hitler broke the Treaty of Versailles multiple times. He invaded Rhineland and Austria, along with rebuilding Germany's army, which was against the treaty. Hitler hated the Treaty of Versailles and wanted to abolish it. He did not like how his military was weak because of the treaty.

The consequences could be expected to be maybe paying a large sum of money, or even having a whole war break out. The Treaty of Versailles was a catalyst and laid the roadwork for World War II. Germany was already angered because of the treaty and obviously did not care if they were breaking it.

Do you consider Bishop Eusebius’s account to be reliable? Why or why not?

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Do you consider Bishop Eusebius’s account to be reliable?

No, really not.

The reason why because his account had created many controversies.

Eusebius has been known as the official historian of the church. He participated in the Council of Nice in 314, organized by Roman Emperor Constantine to revise the religious or historic documents that would end up being in the Bible.

So Eusebius based most of his comments on personal opinions and other historic document's interpretations. It is difficult to say that he did the proper research and had reliable sources. During the Nicea Council, a group of Bishops decided what documents had to be part of the Bible and which not, based on their own criteria. That is not a good indicator of the validity of the documents included, even less we can consider those as sacred.

Alexander was great indeed. He managed to unite the entire Greece under his rule, and not only that, but he also vastly increased the size of his empire, covering almost entirely what was then the known world.

1. What are a few of the positive things the Equal Rights Amendment would have done for women in America?
2. Critics of the amendment pointed out some negative repercussions. What were they?
3. All things considered, would you be in favor of the amendment or against it and why?

Answers

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

The positive things the Equal Rights Amendment would have done for women in America was the provision of equal chances to women in every field of society. The women now work as a labour or work in any field just like men in order to support her family. Much of the criticism around the Equal Rights Amendment focused on the upsetting of traditional gender norms. Yes, I am in the favour of this amendment because this amendment removes all inequalities on the basis of gender, race and other factors. Due to this Equal Rights Amendment, people belongs to any race or religion can speak freely and also practice any religion they want so this amendment has a very good effect on the society and the society gains prosperity and development in every field.

Do you think the United States should negotiate with OPEC, send in the military to deal with the terrorist threat, look for ways to reduce our dependence on oil or drill in areas that have been protected by the federal government? Why?

Answers

Answer:

look for ways to reduce our dependence on oil

Explanation:

Look for ways to reduce our dependence on oil would be the best option. The United States is currently self sufficient in oil, and does not depend on the OPEC anymore. However, the OPEC can still represent a geopolitical adversary or threat, and for this reason, energy self-sufficiency should be used to look for ways to phase out oil for other energy sources, like nuclear, geothermal, or solar.

What was a consequence of the fact that the early people of the Americas did not have horses or oxen? A) They could not rely on agriculture as a food source. B) They never developed wheeled vehicles. C) They led very active lifestyles.​

Answers

The correct answer is B. They never developed wheeled vehicles.

Explanation

During the development of civilizations the help of different animals has been of great importance, in many cases dogs became the best friends of hunters because they helped them find and hunt their food, in other situations horses were a great help to transport over long distances, other animals such as oxen contributed to making agriculture easier by moving heavy tools to make the furrows of the crops, among others. Over time, communities invented tools that optimized the help provided by animals, in the case of horses, many civilizations developed carts and carriages that were pulled by horses to transport heavy objects, people, and products easily. However, the American civilizations that did not have access to horses (which came from Europe) until the conquest of Europeans could not develop complementary tools for their animals so in effect they never developed wheeled vehicles. Therefore, the correct answer is B. They never developed wheeled vehicles.

Explain the constitutional principles of separation of powers and checks and balances. 10 sentences or more ​

Answers

The separation of powers and checks and balances are very important in giving power to both the federal government and the state governments, along with balancing power within the branches of government. Balancing the power of both the federal government and the state governments has always been a prominent issue in history, in some cases even splitting the country apart.

The separation of powers is essentially what it sounds like, separating the powers between the federal government and the states. Both have power and the people maintain the power to essentially overthrow and change the government if the government does things that are not in the best interest of the people and the country. While the federal government holds the most important powers, any powers that are not designated for the federal government goes to the states.

The checks and balances are important as well, as this prevents certain branches of government from obtaining too much power. The branches of government all hold key powers, all of them being balanced and can check each other if one has too much power.

0 3,000 and 6,000

75,000 and 80,000

Answers

Answer:

30,000 and 60,000

Explanation:

Given that almost half of the population of Athens was made up of slaves, the total number of males eligible for political participation ranged between "30,000 and 60,000"

This is evident in the common population statistics presented by many historians concerning the city of Athens, before the period of 432 BCE.

The statistics show that the city of Athens had a minimum of 140,000 Athenians, roughly 40,000 were men and citizens, while about 40,000 were considered slaves, which is almost half of the population.

Hence, given that some historians were not exact about the population of males eligible for political participation, the general consensus is that it ranged between "30,000 and 60,000"

why was trade a difficult thing for most of the history of North and West Africa?

Answers

Explanation:

The share of internal trade in Africa remains low, as reflected by official statistics. This is despite numerous regional trade agreements that have led to tariffs removal within the trading blocs. At least in principle.

There are a host of shortcomings that limit trade: non-tariffs barriers, red tape and insufficient infrastructure. Tariff barriers remain high outside areas covered by the agreements. Enhancing trade integration between African countries could yield large economic gains. This idea motivated the latest initiative for integration, the continental free trade area.

However, a large part of cross-border trade between African countries is informal. It either avoids customs entirely, or goes through official posts but is not recorded. Informal trade is difficult to measure. Most studies have relied on estimates based on partial surveys, or on accounting exercises. They concluded that a substantial share of Africa’s regional trade was informal, on the order of 30% to 40%.
