<u><em>The crucifixion </em></u>

In pre-republican times, the Romans sometimes punished disobedient slaves by tying them to the barren trees and lashed them to death.24 According to this there is a thesis that the crucifixion could have developed from the ancient custom of the arbori suspenddere, which was to hang an inmate from an infelix arbor (unfortunate tree) dedicated to the gods of the world of darkness.

Under the penal practice of ancient Rome the crucifixion also exhibited the low social status of the criminal. It was used for and was later extended to freedmen from the provinces ("humble"), rebels, pirates and for enemies and hated criminals. Both women and men were crucified. The condemned Roman citizens were not crucified. They were exempt from hanging as they died more honorably by decapitation. The exception was when major crimes against the state were committed, such as high treason. The crucified victim had to undress completely before being nailed to the cross, regardless of whether it was male or female. That is why crucifixion was considered the most shameful and humiliating way to die.

What effect did the Treaty of Versailles and the German government's
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Many historians credit the Versailles Treaty with WW II. That is, the treaty's natural conclusion was WW II. It enfeebled Germany to the point of famine and if you want to anger an enemy and motivate them, starve their children. The economic collapse it created opened the door for Hitler and his fanatics.

Describe how the policy of containment set the tone for U.S. involvement in world relations following World War II
Tatiana [17]

Answer:  The policy of containment set the tone for US foreign policy by focusing on keeping communism and the Soviet Union's influence limited, rather than by trying to confront the Soviet Union directly or eliminate communism completely.  

Context/details:

George F. Kennan recommended the policy of containment which set the tone for US involvement in world relations following World War II. Kennan was an American diplomat in Moscow after World War II.  In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).  It really was a <u>long</u> telegram -- it totaled 8,000 words.  

In those days, everyone feared an ultimate confrontation between the USA and the USSR -- that the Cold War would someday explode into a massive heated conflict between the superpowers.  Kennan, in Moscow, had much foresight to see the internal problems the USSR had.  He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union and wait for their system to collapse under the weight of its own problems.  Kennan was right.  It took almost 50 years, but eventually the communist system in the USSR fell apart.  [The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics came to an end in 1991.]

uysha [10]
Serfs in the Middle Ages. Serfs in the middle ages were generally peasant<span> farmers who provided manual labor in their master's land. The peasants would pay the </span>lord some dues (in the form of labor) in exchange for using part of the lord's land to generate their own food.<span>The </span>serfs<span> also had to </span>pay<span> taxes and fees. The Lord decided how much taxes they would </span>pay<span> from how much land the </span>serf<span> had, usually 1/3 of their value. They had to </span>pay<span> fees when they got married, had a baby, or there was a war. Money was not very common then, so usually they </span>paid<span> by giving food instead of money.</span>
