1 answer:

7 0

With the conquests of the Caliphates, the Muslims managed to take control over multiple regions. One of those regions was North Africa, where in Egypt, in the city of Alexandria there were millions of books with scientific and philosophical themes. It was the center of knowledge of the world in that time.

The Muslims unfortunately destroyed most of the books from the antiquity, and only few were preserved. Thus few though got into the hands of Muslim scholars that were interested in science and philosophy. They read them carefully and started to base their researches on them, making significant progress and discovering multiple things. By preserving these few books, and also upgrading on their basis, helped to preserve at least some part of the ancient knowledge, which later was reintroduced in its place of origin, Europe.

grigory [225]

Answer: They controlled the seas together.

Explanation: The Triple Entente was composed by an alliance between The United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland, The Russian Empire and The French Third Republic. These three entities did not share the same seas or boarders and did not have a centralized location as opposed to their enemy, The Triple Alliance, integrated by The German Empire, The Austria-Hungary Empire and Italy, countries who actually did share boarders. The Russian Empire collided with the Baltic Sea to the northwest and the Black Sea to the south; The French Third Republic collided with Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the north; The United Kingdom Collided with the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the North Sea to the east.

What actually was an advantage of the Triple Entente over the Triple Alliance was the fact that, whilst surrounding their enemies, they were able to control all those seas and narrow straits together freely.
