I won't go into too much details but the Asian country that defeated Russia in war, namely the Russo-Japanese war(1904-05) was Japan.
It was a conflict based on good military strategy. It all started because Japan wanted Korea as a province but Russia did not allow that to happen so Japan tried to negotiate to get Korea in exchange that Russia could keep Manchuria but Russia refused and negotiations broke down so Japan thought of an alternative...war.
Japan knew that Russia had a massive army but Japan had a very mobile and well trained army so they used that to their advantage. So the Japanese fleet open fired on the Russia Eastern Fleet in Port Arthur which eventually got destroyed. As Russia suffered humiliating defeats, the country thought it could beat Japan but Japans strategy proved superior so they defeated Russia in many battles. So in order to prevent a total "defeat", Russia asked for Peace (U.S as the middleman)which gave Japan some of what it wanted but not all. This caused both countries to be dissatisfied...
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you forgot to include the map to answer your question.
However, we can comment on the following. Hope it is useful.
We did some research and found a map titled "The Viking Age, A.D. 800-1000." The map is included in a lesson to develop Geography skills such as interpreting symbols, lines, and labels.
If this is the correct map to your question, then the correct answer is the following.
The city on the map that is farthest from the Vikings' homeland is Rome, followed by Paris, and the closest city to Vikings homeland, that appear on the map is London.
The homeland of the Vikings was the modern-day Scandinavian territories of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.
Joseph Stalin was a strong, ambitious, brutal, and practical state-man, a man of action and politics. Stalin, born under the name of Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, of Georgian and poor origin, was raised as a street boy by a drunken and violent father. He forged a strong character and a corpulent body, without a very persuasive speech, although a very clever mind. He was patient and reflexive, very smart for politics. Stalin wanted very well trained and disciplined revolutionary professionals, a body of bureaucrats for the Soviet Union.
Lev Trotsky was totally the opposite. Born under the name of Lev Davidovich Bronstein, son of wealthy landowner Jewish parents, he developed a distinguished and very well educated character, he was elegant, but also fanatic enough to lead the masses. Unlike Stalin, he was not only a politician but also a Marxist intellectual and was less methodic and patient than Stalin. Trotsky wanted a not very well organized party of masses and the triumph of the permanent revolution. He wanted to export the revolution worldwide and not keep it limited to one country only.
Vladimir Lenin, born under the name of Vladimir Ilich Ulianov, was in the middle between both characters. He was the basis of the Russian Revolution. He had brilliant political intelligence and ambition, and he was a Marxist intellectual as well. After his death in 1924, the movement was divided between Trotsky and Stalin, and finally, the Soviet Union was lead by Stalin who sent Trotsky to exile. Trotsky died in 1949, killed by spies sent by Stalin to Mexico, where Trotsky was exiled.
Answer:
Many historians consider the printing press as the most important invention in history because from its creation it allowed the development and expansion of knowledge through the printing of books. Until that moment, knowledge, science and other theories that generated technological, economic, political and social development could not be broadly transmitted, because the books were written by hand by the monks, who exercised a kind of censorship over any question that was against religious principles.
For this reason, the printing press removed the monopoly on knowledge from religion, while increasing the ease of transmitting said knowledge, exponentially increasing the speed of human development.
In the late 19th century the habits of the theatergoers was not the best. In fact, they were mostly a rural audience, and sometimes they were rowdy. The managers of the theaters tried to make everyone behave in a civil manner. One of the main complains was the tobacco spit all over the floor around the entertainment venues. At some point those people were required to carry a spittoon to avoid spitting in the floor.
Theatergoers were not required to sit still and be quiet like they do now. They actually ate and drank during the presentation, and sometimes interrupted the performance. Theater owners were very concerned with these disturbances and tried to enforce good behavior.
Even though there was some occasional annoying behavior by theatergoers, for the most part they were very polite, responsive and receptive to the performance.
