Autocratic rule, serfdom and defeat in the Crimean War circumstances were a major cause of Russian weakness in the mid-1800s.
<u>Answer:</u> Option A, D and F
<u>Explanation:</u>
Russia and most of Europe were in a state of animosity when Alexander I took the throne in March 1801. Russia appeared as the largest land force in Europe, and the first of the European victors over Napoleon. In such initiatives the enormous prestige gained was retained until the mid-century.
However, the Crimean War between 1853–56 showed this giant had clay feet. Under very mediocre rule, the massive empire was unable to raise, arm and bring enough troops to overpower the medium-sized French and English powers. Nicholas suffered in the bitter awareness of failure at large.
Answer: - the harsh desert climate
- required cooperation
- the Qur'an tells families to honor family above all else
Explanation:
- The harsh desert climate meant that they did not have an abundance of resources. They could not farm the land or dedicate themselves to agriculture, as such they would focus around trade and livestock, requiring cooperation between different clan members.
- Due to the harsh conditions of their environment, they developed a nomadic lifestyle, in stark contrast with urbanized arabs. Their non-sedentary way of life, required further cooperation between members, in order to better organize the constant movement of their settlements.
-The majority of the Beduin people are fervent followers of Islam, which puts a strong emphasis on mantaining and upholding family honor and family relationships. The Qu'ran explicitily dictates "Do not sever your relationship with a member of your family, even if he severs his relationship with you".
All these factors may have combined to explain the strong attachment between clan members in the Bedouin people.
Hope this helps!
