History

bezimeni [28]3 years ago

"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 Tokugawa rule affect the common people of Japan
Lapatulllka [165]
Lacked status and poor conditions--Tokugawa Japan was a feudal system where commoners were unable to work up or gain status in the country. 

Tokugawa Japan was a period of military rule in Japan where land owners and samurai had power and control in the country. Peasants and merchants were taxed heavily and were unable to work up in the system. 

Merchants were particularly attacked during the Tokugawa rule as they represented western culture and influence. The shogun isolated Japan and close the borders so western influence could not change the Japanese system. This would stay this way until the 1800s when Japan would bring in a new government which would be merchant-focused.

What was the main conflict that led to the French and Indian war
Alex777 [14]
The French and Indian War was the nine-year North American chapter of the Seven Years War. The conflict, the fourth such colonial war between the kingdoms of France and Great Britain, resulted in the British conquest of all of New France east of the Mississippi River, as well as Spanish Florida. The outcome was one of the most significant developments in the persistent Anglo-French Second Hundred Years' War. To compensate its ally, Spain, for its loss of Florida, France ceded its control of French Louisiana west of the Mississippi. France's colonial presence north of the Caribbean was reduced to the tiny islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

What was the Indian Removal Act of 1830? Why was this bill created?
bogdanovich [222]
The Indian Removal Act was signed by Andrew Jackson and it was a law that was supposed to call for the "voluntary" removal of Indians from their land. The United States wanted to expand and use their land, and ended up forcefully removing them and resulted in the removal of most Indians from the states altogether. Hope this helps! :)
