History
1 answer:
bezimeni [28]3 years ago
6 0

"The first communities in West Africa were made up of extended families.  An extended family included you parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins.  These groups may be as many as 20-25 people and usually the group was lead by a male elder.  As time went on the groups found that there were times where they needed more people to accomplish something.  They may have needed to do some large scale farming, fend off an attack, or stop a flood.  Permanent villages, towns, and cities sprung up in areas where there was lots of resources or trade routes.  Sometimes these areas were able to conquer their neighbors due to their wealth and ability to hire soldiers.  These areas then turned into the first kingdoms of West Africa such as Mali, Ghana, and Songhai."

How did the seven years’ war erode relations between colonists and british authorities?
Kazeer [188]
It eroded it because the colonists were forced to fight the French on the American territories. They didn't want to do this because the French were good trading partners and the colonists had good relations with them, so they became unsatisfied that they were drawn into a war that was against their well being by the British.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The Bosnian War started on 6th April 1992, was an armed conflict that happened in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and lasted till 14th December 1995.

During the war, Serbs with the help of the former Yugoslavian military expelled many Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) and Croats out of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This mass expulsion by Serbs was termed as 'ethnically cleansing.' The reason for this action by Serbs was to maintain and expand Serbian control over Bosnia.

Therefore, option C is correct.

One historical example of the ""different-equals-deficit"" error is _____.A)men perceiving women as intellectually inferiorB)Eur
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The answer is: A) men perceiving women as intellectually inferior.

Explanation:

First and most important, men shouldn´t be considered more or less intelligent than women. No scientific study has ever been able to prove that statement, and men have tried many times to do so.

The term different equals deficit is referred to an erroneous belief that something that goes against what is considered normal is inferior or bad. People tend to believe that themselves, their country, their race, their gender, etc., are better than others just because of who they are.

So in this specific case, men tend to discriminate the intellectual capacity of women based on the sole fact that they are women and not men.
