Answer:
B
Explanation:
The Korean war, which divided Korea in half, was a civil war between the north and south, due to north being communist and the south being capitalist.
The first reconstruction act
I discovered that a key moment in Roman history was a very little-discussed raid by pirates on the Port of Rome at Ostia.
Rome was at that point the dominant world superpower, and there was no state in the world that would ever have dared to attack Rome. But the Romans were attacked by a group of stateless desperados who set fire to the Port. The flames may well have been visible in Rome itself. And this sent a shockwave through Rome, because if pirates could strike that close to the imperial capital, nowhere was safe.
And in this panicky atmosphere - an atmosphere of panic, I might say, which was deliberately whipped up by ambitious politicians - the Roman people took a series of fatal steps, surrendering some of their liberties and some of their control over their government. And in doing so, they sewed the seeds of the destruction of their own democracy.
And the more I looked at that event, the more it seemed familiar to me and the parallel with 9/11 - and in particular the response to it.
The correct answer is - 25 miles.
The journey/postal/communication relay system established in the Mongol Empire had stations set on approximately 25 miles, though there were variations from around 20 to around 30 miles.
This system was set up because the empire was enormous, so the quick travel of information was key for its functioning and proper organization.
The system, known as yam or ortoo, was very simple but very effective. For the means of travel the horse was the animal that was used, and the Mongols estimated the distance at which a single horse can be giving its maximum in speed, so they put up stations at distances where the horse's speed will start to decline because of exhaustion. The rider of the horse was either giving the message to another rider, or he was taking food and water with him, as well as a new, rested horse, and continued to the other station.
