In the year 1882, the U.S senate passed the Chinese Exclusion act and was signed by President Chester A. Arthur. During the time period, there was many immigrants, especially Chinese, that immigrated to the United States, which caused a lot of labor. Congress decided to pass this law because a lot of Chinese people were illegally immigrating to the United States and taking away the jobs that the American Citizens wanted. The Act caused the Chinese to be ineligible for naturalization, meaning that they can't become a citizen. Because of the act, the Chinese population in the U.S during that time declined tremendously.

1) Explain the double crown:

~ Pschent. The pschent was the double crown worn by rulers in ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians generally referred to it as sekhemty, the Two Powerful Ones. It combined the White Hedjet Crown of Upper Egypt and the Red Deshret Crown of Lower Egypt. The Pschent represented the pharaoh's power over all of unified Egypt.


2) Why did Egyptian pharaohs build such huge monuments?

~ The Egyptians believed in the afterlife, they believed after everything died, they should be brought to the afterlife and have a great time there too, hence they built monuments to respect their people!

3) How were Egyptians protected due geography?

~ The Egyptians were protected from invaders due to their geographical features. For example, they had the Mediterranean Sea to the north along with the Nile Delta. This body of water blocks off land on the other side. If intruders were to come to Egypt, they would have to go by boat. In conclusion, Egypt had a lot of important stuff!
