1. The Cuban Missile Crisis is maybe one of the most traumatic and stressful events that occurred during the period of Cold War. It was a major diplomatic endeavor and if cooler heads had not prevailed it would have led to the World War 3 and the destruction of most of the world.

2. The Cuban Missile Crisis began when the CIA with the the pictures taken of Cuba detected the large deployment of missiles by the Soviet Union. Nuclear weapons were also detected which prompted a swift response and blockade of Cuba by the United States.

The Byzantine Empire was the only classical empire that survived into the postclassical period. Why did it survive when all the
madam [21]

Answer: the Byzantines were able to maintain their main areas. There were no attacks by tribal or pastoral people on Anatolia or Egypt, and just a few in the Black Sea region. For the most part the Byzantine Empire was not an expansionist empire, and this gave it more stability.  

The tax system and the bureaucracy were already in place, and the bureaucracy acted as a check on the nobility. It was good way for them to earn reputation by serving in the government. Under Justinian, a law code was created. It came directly from the emperor, establishing him as the ultimate authority on justice. This was an important check on the power of the nobility as well , helping to keep them from growing powerful enough to attempt to take over the central government. It gave the imperial office a lot of authority and prestige.  

Outside of Constantinople we see evidence of a strong agricultural economy. Although there were many large urban areas, the vast majority of the empire was made up of agricultural villages. They were the primary tax source and they supplied grain and agricultural products to the urban populations. At the same time, the Byzantines were the best economy in the region. They were the major trading power in the Mediterranean. They produced goods like textiles (especially silk), jewelry, and other crafts, but they also acted as the middleman for trade between east and west.

A growing cultural identity and social unity. The elements of this unity included, first and foremost, a long-lasting Roman identity. Byzantines believed they were keeping in the glorious Roman tradition, and they always presented themselves this way. Constantinople was also an important item of Byzantine unity. It was seen as the greatest city in the Mediterranean world and had overcame dozens of attacks. It was also portrayed as a whole Christian city, even if this wasn't actually true. There were lots of different kinds of Christians, plus Jews and later Muslims.

The First Great Awakening in the American colonies
sineoko [7]

The correct answer is A. Featured traveling preachers that drew large audiences.

Explanation

The First Great Awakening was a Christian revitalization movement of European origin that spread through the North American colonies between the years 1730 and 1740. This movement was characterized by distancing itself from traditional religious rituals and ceremonies while being based on redemption, introspection, and the personal conviction of religion causing the feeling of personal revelation of the need for salvation through Jesus Christ. This religious diffusion was given thanks to itinerant preachers who toured most of the American colonies and influenced a large part of the settlers. So the answer is A.
