The fall of the Mayan civilization is due to the overpopulation, environmental degradation, warfare, shifting trade routes and extended drought.

<h3>How did geography affect the Mayan civilization?</h3>

Unlike the Aztecs or Inca, the Maya were never a unified empire, largely because of geography. The dense, thick jungle was simply too great an obstacle for widespread urbanization. The landscape kept the many Maya cities naturally isolated from each other, so each one maintained an independent identity. The rainforest - home to many Maya cities - made crossing land difficult. Geographic features that make travel difficult are called natural barriers. The land of the Maya had many natural barriers.

So we can conclude that: The fall of the Mayan civilization is due to the overpopulation, environmental degradation, warfare, shifting trade routes and extended drought.

This act by the United States resulted in Japan attacking Pearl Harbor.

tester [92]

Answer:

Oil embargo.

Explanation:

The events that led Japan to launch an attack at the United States base at Pearl Harbor were not just because of a single cause. It was a number of events that had accumulated and exploded after the US decided to ban all oil exports to foreign nations.

Japan had been slowly expanding its authority to nations including China. The increase in Japan's power led the US to embargo all oil exports which left Japan with a minimal oil resource. This prompted the Japanese nation to attack the US base at Pearl Harbor.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

The byzantine empire replaced the western roman empire after the fall of rome. true false

Nutka1998 [239]

Replaced how? If you mean like the Roman empire, that would be incorrect. Both empires considered each other Roman and both empires considered themselves Roman. So when the west fell, the Byzantines did not 'replace' the western Romans in being Roman. Instead, they just kept on being Roman as their western counterparts fell. However, for a period, the Byzantines did manage to reconquer parts of the Western Empire and even Rome, but that was relatively short-lived. In that case, you could argue that the Byzantines sort of did replace the western Romans in being the Roman empire with Rome in its possession. However, that is a stretch in my opinion.

In short: False, the Eastern Romans did not replace the western Romans as they were both seen as Romans, just with different governments.

Vitek1552 [10]

I think, it's really hard to diminish the violent behavior in the current generation. The only way for African people to prevent violence and civil war is to create a strong law enforcement within the government and impose heavy punishment to the violent groups. Then, they should start to improve the quality of education to develop the young minds of Africa so they became a better generation than their previous one.

Hope this helps
