How many square miles did the city of jerusalem cover?

History
1 answer:
Mashcka [7]4 years ago

Depends on when you are talking about. This sounds like a Biblical Question so I'll answer it that way. 

Very surprisingly, during David's time the population wasn't much more than a couple of thousand according to archaeologists. The area covered was no more than 40 acres even during Solomon's time when Jerusalem was a very important city.  It may have had a larger population than in David's time, but the size was not much different.  

Forty acres was not much. To give you an idea just how big that might be, consider that a section of land is 1 square mile. 1 section = 640 acres.
40 acres is 1/16 of a square mile. That's like 5 city blocks in any direction and that might be overestimating in. Imagine that? I was very surprised to read that. The temple was massive when you read about it and so were the stables for the horses. 

Anyway, if I find out any differently, I'll post in comments. These are secular accounts and not Biblical ones, but I don't hear anyone seriously disputing this.

French Indochina included all of the following EXCEPT
ExtremeBDS [4]
1. B) Burma. France controlled all of the territories listed in Southeast Asia except for Burma. This is because Burma belonged to the UK. Both the UK and French expanded into Southeast  for the purpose of acquiring regions during imperialism to obtain raw materials. The French were expelled from the Indochina region following the Vietnam war.

2. B) Japan. Following WWI, the Japanese began to expand a great deal of military and political influence over East Asia and the Pacific. Japan was an industrious island nation, in need of resources for its factories. It also saw itself as the dominant race and nation of East Asia due to its victory over Russia in the early 20th century and its desire for legitimacy in the face of Europe. For these reasons, Japan expanded tremendously around Asia and the Pacific, taking the Dutch East Indies during WWII.

Roosevelt set about to prepare the nation to accept expansion of federal power. Roosevelt recognized that the programs he was about to introduce for congressional legislative action to relieve the dire effects of the Great Depression were unprecedented in peacetime.
