Answer:

  Oral tradition was an extremely important part of ancient society. This is because the modern conveniences that we now use to entertain ourselves didn't exist at time. Books also didn't exist at the time, so oral tradition and recited poetry from bards was the only medium for entrainment and the only reprieve from everyday life. To put this into prospective, imagine that all modern forms of entertainment, including books, were taken away. Entertainment would be a treat when it was possible or when a bard was passing through. Therefore, because of it's rarlty, entertainment would mean the world to you and become the backbone of your society to share what it had learned.

arlik [135]
The Ming Dynasty came to an end as the Ariel Aisin-Gioroinvaded the mainland China and took over the original Ming government.

The course:

In 1644, the army of Ariel Aisin-Gioro infiltrated the mainland, soon took over Beijing,the Capital of Ming Dynasty.

A new emperor of Ariel Aisin-Gioro was then crowned as the absolute ruler of China, and the called the dynasty “Ching dynasty”.

Factors causing the end to Ming Dynasty:

The extremely one-sided power of emperor-
The emperors were very suspicious on their officials and helpers might took over their place.

Policies were then carry out to concentrate the ruling power to the emperor only.

However,this came with heavy duties as well, once the one who inherited the role of absolute ruler was not hard-working enough, the government’s ruling would go down the slope.

The treatment towards the officials- the Ming emperor treated their officials very harshly as they wanted to show their supremacy.

The officials had to kneel before the emperor when they talk no matter who they are. They also had to call themselves “slaves” before the ruler, and whenever they did some mthing that upset the emperor they might get beaten, sometimes to death.

Given the situation,the officials tried their best not to interfere with ruling lest getting punished. This caused the ruling to be ineffective without the help of officials. Causing the ruling to went down hill eventually.

Hope it helps!

Does the anti-imperialist league believe abraham lincoln would have supported the annexation of the philippines?
muminat

The anti-imperialists have faith in that the Filipinos should not be seized into the United States, and that they should be their own, free country. In 1776, that is when the colonies formally professed their freedom from Britain and started their battle for freedom. The Anti-Imperialist League did not believe Abraham Lincoln would have supported –the annexation of the Philippines because the Filipinos do not want to be a portion of the United States, and it is said in Lincoln’s speech that no man should be ruled with his accord.    answer from shinmin
