The correct answer is letter D

Alexandria was an urban center that gave rise to the Egyptian kingdom of the Ptolemies. It was founded in 332 BC by the Macedonian Alexander the Great and soon became one of the largest cities in the Greek world. At the breakwater of the Mediterranean Sea, the Alexandria Lighthouse was built, 135 meters high, divided into three parts where the first was square, the middle was eight-sided and the upper was cylindrical. It was surrounded by a snail-shaped ramp that reached the top where there was the statue of the god Helium, the sun god. The lighthouse is considered one of the wonders of the ancient world.

The city was the main maritime base of the Mediterranean, as it housed large vessels and allowed the city to export its production to the entire country. It became the capital of Egypt and built great palaces, public institutions, museums, libraries and temples.

In the 7th century, the city's library was set on fire losing about 700,000 papyrus rolls containing works of antiquity. In 1375, the lighthouse was destroyed by a terrible earthquake. In 1994, archaeologists dived under Alexandria and discovered remains of ships and buildings from that time. Today, the city is threatened by erosions caused by rising seas.

Please help Write a 5 paragraph essay on how canada has changed for the better since ww1​
galben [10]

Answer:

The Great War, lasting from August 1914 to November 1918, had a huge effect on Canada. In the hothouse atmosphere created by the conflict, attitudes changed faster, tensions festered more quickly and events forced governments and groups to take new positions at an unheard-of pace. The war changed everything.

The war united most Canadians in a common cause even as the extremity of national effort nearly tore the country apart. ... The resulting post-war debt of some $2 billion was owed mostly to other Canadians, a fact which fundamentally altered the nature of the post-war economy. Politically, the war was also a watershed.

The demand for Canada's goods created lots of job opportunities. This was especially good for women who were unemployed because they were able to take over men's jobs when they were away working in the trenches. The demand for war supplies helped boom Canada's economy during the war.

Even though there were some positive things that came out of the war, the negative effect it caused was much greater. More than 60 000 Canadians were killed and thousands were wounded. ... The war helped the economy of Canada, jobs were created when factories were commissioned to build war supplies.

To conclude, overall Canada's participation in the first world war was negative. There arte many reasons the war was not worht it but three specific reasons are: its poor effect on Canadian workers, Canadian women and the damage it caused our English-French relations.
