Answer:

a.The city was surrounded by territory controlled by the Byzantine Empire, making it hard for the Ottomans to enter the city.

Explanation:

The Ottoman Empire began as one of the small Turkish states that emerged in Asia Minor during the decline of the Seljuk Empire. The Ottoman Turks gradually controlled the other Turkish states, survived the Mongol invasions and under the reign of Mehmed II (1451-1481) ended what was left of the Byzantine Empire. The first phase of the Ottoman expansion took place under the rule of Osman I (1288-1326) and continued in the reigns of Orkhan, Murad I and Beyazid I, at the expense of the territories of the Byzantine Empire, Bulgaria and Serbia. Bursa fell under his rule in 1326 and Adrianople in 1361. Ottoman victories in the Balkans alerted Western Europe about the danger that this Empire represented and were the central motive for the organization of the Hungarian Crusade of Sigismund. The site that the Ottomans put in Constantinople was broken thanks to Timur, leader of the Mongols, who took Beyazid prisoner in 1402, but Mongol control over the Ottomans lasted very little. Finally, the Ottoman Empire managed to conquer Constantinople in 1453.

The New Deal was a package of programs launched by Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Great Depression. The goal of these programs was to reestablish prosperity in America.

In 1935, Roosevelt launched federal programs such as Works Progress Administration (WPA) to provide jobs and help unemployed people, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Farm Security Administration (FSA), the National Industrial Recovery Act NIRA), and the Social Security Administration (SSA).

3. Was it wise for the Versailles delegates not to allow other nations or ethnic-group representatives, such as H0 Chi Minh or W

const2013 [10]

I think it was wise because as we know France, U.K. and USA were very strong. But if they were to let other countries join the conference they would start demanding land. Because the U.K. and France promised independece to the Arabs but France and U.K. made a deal behind their back. So if they allowed the Arabs to come they might use that against them and they would get their land. If France and U.K. did that they would power over the coloines they own. They wanted to remain on top so I think it was wise. They would need all that power anyway to defeat the Axis in WW2.

What successes did women achieve in the years after Reconstruction?

Finger [1]

By 1920 they had the vote, and from the 1860s onwards they were making slow but steady progress towards that. I’m pretty sure they gained a lot of economic mobility during this time.
