One theory suggested that a nomadic, Indo-European tribe, called the Aryans, invaded and conquered the Indus Valley Civilization.Many scholars now believe the collapse of the Indus Valley Civilization was caused by climate change.The eastward shift of monsoons may have reduced the water supply, forcing the Harappans of the Indus River Valley to migrate and establish smaller villages and isolated farms.These small communities could not produce the agricultural surpluses needed to support cities, which where then abandoned.

It was becuase there was a big drought and no food or water.

Did the Nazis under Hitler cause suffering and death? Write 1 paragraph.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The Nazis Under Hitler's commands did cause suffering and death because they planned on killing all of the European Jewry people and it even caused more killing and suffering during world war 1, it began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. His murder catapulted into a war across Europe that lasted until 1918. During the conflict, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire (the Central Powers) fought against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan and the United States (the Allied Powers). Thanks to new military technologies and the horrors of trench warfare, World War 1 saw unprecedented levels of carnage and destruction. By the time the war was over and the Allied Powers claimed victory, more than 16 million people and soldiers and civilians were dead.

Compare and contrast the Islamic and Byzantine empires, including their religious practices governments geography What are the s

Anettt [7]

Answer:

In every meaningful way, the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic Empire were fundamentally different. On the most surface level, there is the obvious distinction between the dominant religions of the two groups. The Byzantines were Christian and the Islamic empires, whether the Umayyads, Abbasids, or Ottomans, were of course Muslim. Conflicts over land rights and other issues kept the two groups in opposition for many years. However, despite the conflicts, Byzantine and Islamic empires not only had similar cultural moments but also were viewed in similar ways by the people of Western Europe, who saw them both as outsiders.

1. ¿Qué significa que Colombia sea un país pluriétnico y multicultural? 2. ¿Cuáles son los grupos éticos de Colombia? 3. Indique

eimsori [14]

Answer:

La población de Colombia es de aproximadamente 50 millones de personas, incluyendo dentro de estas a una amplia variedad de grupos étnicos (blancos, mestizos, mulatos, negros, indígenas, etc). Además, muchos de estos grupos a su vez tienen diferencias culturales notorias, por ejemplo, en el caso de los blancos, las culturas son muy diferentes según estos sean descendientes de criollos o de inmigrantes europeos. Toda esta variedad hace que Colombia sea una nación pluriétnica y multicultural.

Los mestizos, descendientes de la unión entre blancos e indígenas, representan el 58% de la población total de Colombia. Además de ellos, el país también está habitado en un 20% por representantes de la raza caucásica, en un 14% por mulatos (descendientes de negros y europeos), en un 4% por negros, en un 3% por descendientes de la unión entre aborígenes y negros, y en un 1% por personas de ascendencia puramente aborigen.

Hoy en día, Colombia es un país en franco crecimiento económico, pero aun posee problemas sociales arraigados históricamente. Así, es un país con una gran desigualdad de ingresos entre pobres y ricos, así como también un país con un alto grado de corrupción. El narcotráfico también es parte del día a día del país, controlando grandes negocios e involucrando incluso a políticos relevantes. Ademas, la cuestión de las FARC ha dividido a la población colombiana respecto al acuerdo de paz y una posible vuelta a las armas por parte de este grupo.
