History

Answer:

Zeus, who swung both in the sky as a reward for saving the god's life.

(But there are many other versions)

Explanation:

Actually, there are way too many myths, even among old Greek myths, that could explain the origin of the two constellations.

The constellation Ursa Minor, when including stars less visible, but still observable with the naked eye, vaguely resembles a bear (with an unusually long cause). Thus, in conjunction with the neighboring Ursa Major, it forms the basis of the myth of Callisto. It is said that the tail has been prolonged, since the bears do not have tails so long, due to the incessant rotation of the bear by the tail, around the pole.

The variant of the story, in which the constellation of Boieiro corresponds to the character of Arcas, tells that Ursa Minor represented a dog. This is an older tradition that sensibly explains both the tail length and the already obsolete alternative name of Cynosura (the dog's tail) to Polar. (It also clarifies the otherwise inexplicable etymology of the word Cinosura)

In even more remote times, the Ursa Minor had only seven stars, and were mythologically seen, and thus, as sisters. It is thought that in the earliest Greek mythology, the seven sisters in the Ursa Minor would be the Hesperides, daughters of Atlas. Together with other constellations near the zodiacal constellation of Scale (Boieiro, Ursa Major and Dragon), they may have formed the origin of the myth of the apes of the Hesperides, which is part of the Twelve Works of Heracles.

How did passage of the dawes act affect native american indians?
Nitella [24]
<span>Native Americans were forced to become Americanaized because the passage was meant to undermine tribal unity, which in turn forced the indians to assimilate into the american culture and society. It also took the reservation land that the natives inhabited and cut the land into portions that were then assigned to the Indians, with the right to use the land however they decided to. As a result, indegenous Native families were seperated, war erupted in rebellion to the changes by the Native Americas, and alot of the traditions and cultural rituals became obsolete as they got lost over time.</span>

709<br>In China's vil war, the United States backed​
balandron [24]

On October 1, 1949, Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong declared the creation of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The announcement ended the costly full-scale civil war between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Nationalist Party, or Kuomintang (KMT), which broke out immediately following World War II and had been preceded by on and off conflict between the two sides since the 1920’s. The creation of the PRC also completed the long process of governmental upheaval in China begun by the Chinese Revolution of 1911. The “fall” of mainland China to communism in 1949 led the United States to suspend diplomatic ties with the PRC for decades.Communists entering Beijing in 1949.

The Chinese Communist Party, founded in 1921 in Shanghai, originally existed as a study group working within the confines of the First United Front with the Nationalist Party. Chinese Communists joined with the Nationalist Army in the Northern Expedition of 1926–27 to rid the nation of the warlords that prevented the formation of a strong central government. This collaboration lasted until the “White Terror” of 1927, when the Nationalists turned on the Communists, killing them or purging them from the party.

After the Japanese invaded Manchuria in 1931, the Government of the Republic of China (ROC) faced the triple threat of Japanese invasion, Communist uprising, and warlord insurrections. Frustrated by the focus of the Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek on internal threats instead of the Japanese assault, a group of generals abducted Chiang in 1937 and forced him to reconsider cooperation with the Communist army. As with the first effort at cooperation between the Nationalist government and the CCP, this Second United Front was short-lived. The Nationalists expended needed resources on containing the Communists, rather than focusing entirely on Japan, while the Communists worked to strengthen their influence in rural society.

Chiang Kai-shek

Japanese surrender set the stage for the resurgence of civil war in China. Though only nominally democratic, the Nationalist Government of Chiang Kai-shek continued to receive U.S. support both as its former war ally and as the sole option for preventing Communist control of China. U.S. forces flew tens of thousands of Nationalist Chinese troops into Japanese-controlled territory and allowed them to accept the Japanese surrender. The Soviet Union, meanwhile, occupied Manchuria and only pulled out when Chinese Communist forces were in place to claim that territory.

As the civil war gained strength from 1947 to 1949, eventual Communist victory seemed more and more likely. Although the Communists did not hold any major cities after World War II, they had strong grassroots support, superior military organization and morale, and large stocks of weapons seized from Japanese supplies in Manchuria. Years of corruption and mismanagement had eroded popular support for the Nationalist Government. Early in 1947, the ROC Government was already looking to the island province of Taiwan, off the coast of Fujian Province, as a potential point of retreat. Although officials in the Truman Administration were not convinced of the strategic importance to the United States of maintaining relations with Nationalist China, no one in the U.S. Government wanted to be charged with facilitating the “loss” of China to communism. Military and financial aid to the floundering Nationalists continued, though not at the level that Chiang Kai-shek would have liked. In October of 1949, after a string of military victories, Mao Zedong proclaimed the establishment of the PRC; Chiang and his forces fled to Taiwan to regroup and plan for their efforts to retake the mainland.

The ability of the PRC and the United States to find common ground in the wake of the establishment of the new Chinese state was hampered by both domestic politics and global tensions. In August of 1949, the Truman administration published the “China White Paper,” which explained past U.S. policy toward China based upon the principle that only Chinese forces could determine the outcome of their civil war. Unfortunately for Truman, this step failed to protect his administration from charges of having “lost” China. The unfinished nature of the revolution, leaving a broken and exiled but still vocal Nationalist Government and Army on Taiwan, only heightened the sense among U.S. anti-communists that the outcome of the struggle could be reversed. The outbreak of the Korean War, which pitted the PRC and the United States on opposite sides of an international conflict, ended any opportunity for accommodation between the PRC and the United States. Truman’s desire to prevent the Korean conflict from spreading south led to the U.S. policy of protecting the Chiang Kai-shek government on Taiwan.

Explaining Why does a natural disaster (drought, flood) in an agricultural region almost always result in higher prices for comm
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer and Explanation:

Natural disasters such as these can cause damages to agricultural products Any region experiencing frequent flooding and drought will have a reduction in productivity level. When this happens, the supply of agricultural products in the region will fall and demand will go up. Based on the law of demand and supply, this will result in the prices of commodities going up.

Drought and flood causes loss of livestock, storage problems, transportation issues and a fall in output. An increase in prices is used to cover up for some of these. An increase in input costs also causes price increase.
