Answer:

They worry that American jobs could go to Mexico.

Explanation:

Nafta is an economic bloc created in 1989 and made official in 1994. It is composed of the United States, Canada and Mexico, and also Chile as an associate member.

For the United States and Canada, NAFTA serves as an important trade and economic agreement to expand its consumer markets, since in that treaty the main objective is the realization of trade agreements. Thus, their technological products find it easier to migrate, mainly towards Mexico and its broad consumer market.

Another interest, on the part of Americans and Canadians, is the facility that Nafta offers for the expansion of its multinationals in Mexico, where they find cheap and abundant labor, as well as cheap and available raw materials. That is why some Americans fear that the available jobs will be filled by the Mexicans leaving the Americans unemployed.

5. Why is it a problem for South American countries to depend on a few exports for
Phoenix [80]

Answer: Adversely affected by changing trends

Explanation:

Every country needs to have multiple diversified exports to be able to combat changing trends in trade as a result of economic trends.

South America exports mostly primary commodities such as foodstuff, oil and other raw materials. If economic conditions lead to the prices of these goods falling then South American economies would face hardships as income earned from exports will fall drastically.

2020 for instance saw the prices of oil fall to very low prices as there weren't enough vessels using fuel due to the various lockdowns around the world. This heavily affected countries reliant on oil exports in South America such as Venezuela and Bolivia.

In short, depending on few exports can be damaging to the economy because economic trends can lead to a downturn in fortune. It is best to have a diversified export portfolio.

Which most accurately describes historical events of the Ottoman Empire?
egoroff_w [7]

In the 11th century AD, the Abbasid Caliphate had appointed the chieftains of a nomadic Turkish tribe called the Seljuks as deputies to oversee Muslim Persia. The Seljuks had a long and contentious history with the Byzantine Empire. They used their authority to engage in battles with outlying Byzantine provinces in Anatolia, known in the present day as Turkey. Splinter groups of Seljuks established their own small emirates throughout the Anatolian frontier, chipping away at the edges of the Byzantine Empire. Invasions by Mongol hordes made the region even more unstable.

Chronicle of John Skylitzes. Madrid National Library. Web.

In a clash between Byzantines and Arabs at the Battle of Lalakaon (863), Amer, the emir of Malatya, was defeated.

Osman Gazi, a leader of one of the emirates, unified the various Seljuk factions and established the Ottoman Empire in AD 1299. The Seljuks were kept busy with the defense of the region from the Mongol hordes. Even so, they still preserved culture and knowledge that the Ottoman Empire was known for. Its lasting legacy can be seen in the art, culture, language, and government of the area. Richly brocaded textiles and exotic fabrics such as silk, for example, were trademarks of the Ottoman Empire, along with the traditional spices which had made this region economically and politically important during the medieval era.

The Ottoman Empire occupied most of Anatolia. Ottoman forces crossed the Aegean Sea and began to conquer European territory in a wide arc from the Balkans to the Black Sea. As the lands surrounding the Byzantine capital fell to the invaders, Constantinople began to look like the bull’s-eye of a target. Sultan Osman located his capital in Bursa, not far from Constantinople. It was just a matter of time before the declining Byzantine Empire fell.

The Europeans recognized this threat and were outraged. For a thousand years, Constantinople had represented Christendom to the Western world. Now it was in danger from a people whose culture was unfathomable to Europeans. The Turkish language, both written and spoken, was difficult to learn, and the desert cultures were mysterious. The European kingdoms organized crusades to defend what they saw as Christian land. But the armor-clad knights of countless feudal kingdoms were unable to stop advancing Ottoman armies.

The Ottoman Empire reached its greatest extent in 1683.

Battling alongside the Turks were the Janissaries, an elite class of soldiers. The Janissaries were captured Christian children who had been converted to Islam and forced into military service. Disciplined and committed to the Muslim cause, the Janissaries were feared throughout Europe. The creation of this elite unit of soldiers made the word “Janissary” known and respected throughout Europe. In fact, this term is still used in academic and military circles today.

In AD 1453, after 150 years of bloodshed, the Ottoman Turks launched a successful offensive against Constantinople. Continuous cannon fire blasted the massive city walls into rubble. Finally, Constantinople fell. The conquering Ottoman Turks changed its name to Istanbul, erasing the last traces of the Byzantine Empire. But by any name, this strategically located city conferred great power on those who controlled it.
