History

Answer:

The Siege of the International Legations refers to the eight major wars led by Britain, Russia, Japan, France, Italy, the United

States, Germany and Austria on May 28, 1900 (the 26th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty). A war of armed aggression against

China composed of states.

In the spring of 1900, the Boxer Movement became the trigger for the Eight-Power Allied Forces' war of aggression against China.

Using this as an excuse, the Eight-Power Allied Forces divided and plundered China in the name of suppressing the Boxers. On

June 10, 1900, British Vice Admiral E. Seymour led a joint task force of more than 2,000 people to invade Beijing in batches

from the Tianjin Concession. After the Battle of Langfang, nearly 300 people were injured and forced to return to Tianjin. On

June 17, the coalition forces captured Dagu, and on July 14, they occupied Tianjin. On August 4, the coalition forces set out

from Tianjin and successively captured strategic locations such as Beicang, Yangcun, Hexiwu, and Tongzhou. On the 14th, Beijing

was captured, and then looted for three days, and Beijing was occupied by divisions. After that, they continued to increase

their troops, sent troops from Beijing and Tianjin to attack in four directions, and controlled the key passes around Beijing

and Tianjin from Zhengding in the south, Zhangjiakou in the north, Shanhaiguan in the east, and Niangziguan in the west. In the

early days of the coalition, no joint command was established, and tasks were assigned through the joint meeting of commanders

during operations. On August 17, it was decided that the German Field Marshal Waldsee would be the commander-in-chief of the

coalition forces. On October 17, Wadesi entered Beijing, set up the headquarters in the Forbidden City, and established the

military colonial agency 'Beijing Management Committee' in the Yamen of Lifanyuan.

On September 7, 1901, as a result of the signing of the 'Xin Chou Treaty', China has since been completely reduced to a semi-

colonial and semi-feudal society, which brought unprecedented and painful disasters to the country and people at that time.

What did the 24th amendment to the constitution prohibit?
MrRa [10]
The 24th Amendment prohibited poll taxes or other taxes as qualifications for voting.

Poll taxes had been a way states had discriminated against black voters, by using their lower income status and poll taxes as a way to prevent them from going to the polls.  During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, this was challenged.  The 24th Amendment, ratified in 1964, said: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax," and added:  "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Ancient and medieval sword makers fashioned swords from metals and alloys. Apply your knowledge of the properties of metals and
natima [27]

Answer:

copper and iron  swords were easier to make but less durable while bronze and steel swords were more effective for combat but more difficult to fashion.

Explanation:

Pros

  • Copper: It was a very common material and it could be sharpened easily.
  • Iron: Like copper, very easy to find and harder than copper, so it is a better option to fabricate iron swords than copper swords.
  • Bronze: Bronze is harder than copper and its rust is just shallow which make bronze swords way durable in comparison.  With the materials in hand (copper and tin), it was easy to fabricate bronze swords on a great scale.
  • Steel: This is the most durable and hardest of all the elements above.

Cons

  • Copper: Easy to get rusty and  be broken.
  • Iron: Sucseptible to severe oxidation, although it is more durable than copper.
  • Bronze: As this is an alloy, it requires copper and tin, which it is not very common to find close each other, so it makes difficult to make bronze swords. Additionally, bronze weapons do not last very much; they are easy to break.
  • Steel: Unlike bronze, steel rusting can wreck the sword if it is treated in time. Additionally, on ancient times, steel forges were very uncommon as not many knew the way to create steel from iron and carbon, so steel swords were very expensive and more likely to find in hand of  kings and royal guards.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

This period of time is known as Black Friday. In 1869, two people named Jay Gould and James Fisk, considering that at the time gold was still used as international currency, sought to corner the gold market by purchasing every single gold unit they could get their hands on. This caused the price of gold  to highly rise for a small period of time, but having discovered the scheme of these two, former President Grant released millions of dollars in gold on a Friday. This release caused the price of gold to plummet, and the country entered economic turmoil.
