Answer:
Hello. You did not put the answer options, but a fact that links the "rise of Pericles to power" and the "Peloponnesian War and the death of Pericles" is the growth of the power of Athens while the power of Sparta was suppressed.
Explanation:
Pericles was a great Greek politician who came to power in Athens, where he had an administrable administration making Athens a great cultural, artistic, military, political and economic center.
Under his administration, Athens has become very strong and powerful, however. Pericles had big plans for Athens, one of which included suppressing the power and influence of Sparta, which became increasingly threatened by PEricles' government.
Tension with Sparta triggered the Peloponnesian war, causing the Spartans to invade the cities near Athens. This invasion was used against Pericles who was temporarily condemned, accused and defaulted on public money. Pericles died shortly afterwards a victim of the plague.
TRUE
<em>I'm assuming you included that as a true/false sort of question.</em>
The mercantile system believed the wealth of the world was a fixed amount, measured primarily in gold and silver accumulated. The system promoted a nation selling its products abroad but not needing to buy from others, or imposing heavy tariffs if importing anything. Colonies were created to provide raw materials and resources to the mother country and a market for the mother country's products. Commerce was heavily controlled by the government through charters granted to specific trading companies.
As one example, Great Britain strove to achieve its mercantilism goal by using the American colonies as a way of enriching the British home government. Britain also sought to control shipping by a dominant navy and merchant marine.
"Mercantilism" is a term we get from Scottish philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790). Smith criticized what he called the "mercantile system" because it restricted trade and thus restricted economic growth. Smith countered by advocating a free market -- the opportunity for all nations to increase their wealth by exchanging goods freely with one another according to what would become known as capitalist principles.
