The Mongol Empire which took place between the 13th and 14th centuries, became of the greatest and largest land empire in human history. Initiated in 1206 under the rule of Genghis Khan, this empire rapidly grew and spread throughout most of Asia and even parts of Europe. One of the biggest carachteristics of this empire, and especially its ruler, was how organized and well developed it became and this is because Khan did not believe in gaining power through birthright, but rather achievements. Thus, not only politically but also socially and militarily, the mongols developed into a structure where people rose not due to their ancestry, but their accomplishments. This, to me, was the most notorious feature. Also, the Great Khan, as Genghis Khan was called, believed in a system of rewards and punishments and was known by his people as a brutal but also fair ruler, which helped this empire to also evolve into much more than just savage military gains.
It is also true that the mongols were known for the destruction they wreaked on the lands they conquered and they were greatly feared. It was this fear that pushed the Chinese empire to build the Great Wall, but the Mongols, and especially Khan, were open to learning and desired it, which made them flexible to accepting new ways of thinking, acting and behaving. This is why, and through an oppenness towards trade, freedom of religion and belief and a desire for knowledge, the mongol empire also developed into one of the most culturally advanced and there was a lot of contact, especially with European territories and culture. This unfortunately changed after the death of Genghis Khan, as his heirs were unable to maintain the level-headedness of their original leader.
Answer: A. Many Ethnic Albanians lost their homes
Explanation:
In the Kosovo Conflict of 1998 - 1999 that saw Serbia go up against Kosovo which was a region that it claimed, hundreds of thousands of Ethnic Albanians fled the country and even though some came back, many lost their homes.
The Serbian leadership as well as many Serbs did not like that Albanians numbered so much in Kosovo because Albanians were Muslims and Serbians were Christians majorly. Kosovo to Serbia is a sacred place and so the leadership of Serbia wanted as few Albanians there as possible.
For the answer to the question above, president Kennedy sent an American U-2 spy plane to secretly photograph the nuclear missile sites being built by the Soviet Union on the island of Cuba. He did not want the Soviet Union and Cuba to know that he had discovered the missiles.
I believe that the answer is either Britain or Mexico. The answer could be Britain because by this time the British weren't involved with the territories near the US. The answer could be Mexico because at that point in time Mexico might not have been considered a country yet.
