The statement which makes the oil history incorrect among the choices is the second statement which is "Oil has been pumped and used in small amount since the Middle Ages".

Rockefeller is one of the guys who became very rich because of oil businesses.

Pls help! In a paragraph, explain the effects of the Crusades on the Christian and Islamic worlds. In your assignment,
Butoxors [25]

Because of the Crusades, the Christian as well as the Islamic world had 360 degrees changes and negative long-term effects. Before the crusades most of Christians were pacifists and regard Jesus Christ as the Prince of peace; but due to the Crusades, Christians' posture about violence totally changed. From their perspective violence could be justified if it was used just in wars to defend their church and God's mandates. Although at first, the Crusades were used in order for Christian pilgrimages to access the Holy city of Jerusalem, which was something good because the Muslims had taken control over the city and didn't let them in. Later on, the Crusaders lost their original path and promoted religious warfare for two and half centuries committing pillaging, murder among other atrocities not only against Muslims but also against any other vulnerable minorities.

Crusades also helped to elevate the authority of the papacy as the authoritative spiritual and temporal power in Europe before the emergence of the nation-states.  Nowadays, because of the way Crusades develop most Muslims regard them as cruel and savage onslaughts by European Christians.

What events lead up to the slave trade compromise
Anna007 [38]

Essentially, it had to do with political power. Slave-holding states wanted to include slaves who were unable to cast ballots in their political representation in Congress. Non-slave states perceived this as a ruse to exert influence over the newly formed government. This topic has been covered in a lot of writing. Contrary to some who assert that shows how the founders thought about black people, they address the problem of political representation. Since they now had more representation in the halls of government than the non-slave states, many in the slave states viewed this as a victory. Most individuals who opposed slavery simply wanted to count the free people in a population, but those who supported it wanted to count slaves as well. As a result, slave owners would be represented in the Electoral College and the House of Representatives by a greater number of seats. Numerous ratios were taken into consideration, including three-fourths, half, and one-quarter. James Madison would propose the Three-Fifths Compromise after much discussion. The Three-Fifths Compromise was not accepted by all of the states, and the Articles of Confederation needed a unanimous vote. As a result, the Compromise was not ratified until the Constitutional Convention. The Three-Fifths Compromise would dramatically increase slave-owning states' political clout and representation. If the Southern states had been represented equally, 33 seats in the House of Representatives would have gone to them. However, as a result of the Three-Fifths Compromise, the Southern states did have 47 seats in the House of Representatives of the first American Congress in 1790. As a result, by accumulating enough political influence, the South would be able to take control of presidential elections.

Why did the ancient city-state of Athens and Sparta develop different political systems?
sergij07 [2.7K]

The mountainous topography of the Greek peninsula resulted in the isolation of these two city-states.

Athens developed a system that valued philosophy and active political involvement by its citizens in an early form of democracy. (Note that it wasn't full democracy as we'd think of it today, as those who had a political voice were free men, not women or slaves.)

Sparta developed a militaristic system that valued physical training and military service, as well as a strict loyalty to the state.
