History

WITCHER [35]4 years ago

The soninke people were the first powerful West Africa Kingdom because of the control of gold and salt trades.  The gold came from a forest region between the Niger and Senegal rivers.  But large amounts of the salt came from the Sahara Desert.  Other traders wanted salt over gold for the different flavors it gave their crops and to buy different goods.  They could supply salt to the sub-Saharan economies that gold was abundant.  Salt was very sufficient in sub-Saharan Africa it was promoted in the trades too.

"Gold was not useful for making tools or weapons. A Diverse Capital. Koumbi, the capital city of Ghana,was the wealthiest city in West Africa because of the gold/salt trade. Many of the traders who went to Koumbi were Muslims. The local Soninke people kept their culture in tact by separating themselves from the Muslims."

What impact did George Eastman’s new film-developing processes have on photography?
Tatiana [17]
After his education in the public schools of Rochester, New York, Eastman worked briefly for an insurance company and a bank. In 1880 he perfected a process of making dry plates for photography and organized the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company for their manufacture. The first Kodak (a name he coined) camera was placed on the market in 1888. It was a simple handheld box camera containing a 100-exposure roll of film that used paper negatives. Consumers sent the entire camera back to the manufacturer for developing, printing, and reloading when the film was used up; the company’s slogan was “You press the button, we do the rest.” In 1889 Eastman introduced roll film on a transparent base, which has remained the standard for film. In 1892 he reorganized the business as the Eastman Kodak Company. Eight years later he introduced the Brownie camera, which was intended for use by children and sold for one dollar. By 1927 Eastman Kodak had a virtual monopoly of the photographic industry in the United States, and it has continued to be one of the largest American companies in its field.

1. Why was Tenochtitlan an important place in Native
stellarik [79]

Answer:

1. Tenochtitlan was the Aztec capital city.

2. Spanish kings spend their wealth in lavishes and buying goods from neighbouring countries.

3. Florida, Texas.

Explanation:

1. Tenochtitlan was the capital city and centre of the Aztec Empire founded in 1325. The city was established on a marshy island in Lake Texcoco with dwellings, pyramids, and storehouses. The Aztecs were able to settle where the lake served as a natural defence from enemies.

2. The Spanish economy was backward at the time it started acquiring colonies. The economy was weak as agriculture was not well developed because of infertile lands. The Spanish Kings receive bullion of gold and silver and spend on buying goods from neighbouring empires.

3. Florida and Texas were two Spanish colonies located in the United States.
