What were likely to have been Hannibal's biggest challenges when he crossed the Alps during winter?

Geography

Ratling [72]3 years ago
6 0

The Alps are a very high mountain range, which is also very dangerous in every time of the year, but especially during the winter. In the antiquity, without having any modern day equipment, Hannibal tried to cross this mountain range in order to enter the Roman Empire and attack Rome.

There were lot of problems that Hannibal and his troops faced because of this move. The temperatures were very low, and lot of people suffered and died from hypothermia, as well as the war elephants that were not able to sustain the freezing temperatures. The Alps do not offer proper shelter, especially not for large mass of people, which contributed to the previously mentions hypothermia. Also, a lack of food was a huge problem, as in winter there's pretty much nothing on the Alps that can provide food, apart from hunting wild animals, but there's not dense populations of them, so the malnutrition caused weakening of the people as well as being more prone to sickness.

All in all, Hannibal's army was decimated after the crossing of the Alps.

What three religions are in constant conflict over the land in the Middle East? Describe the claim of each.​
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are in constant conflict over the land in the Middle East.

Explanation:

The Middle East is a region that is important for many reasons, and one of them is religious importance. This area is actually the birthplace of three major religions, the so-called Abrahamic religions. The three religions that emrged in this region are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, in that order.

Judaism came first, and what is now Israel is considered as the holy land for this religion. Despite many attempts to forcefully removing the Jews from this area, some of them still managed to survive there and many more came back in the last century to reclaim what they consider as historically theirs.

Christianity emerged from Judaism. What is now Israel is also holy to it, and especially the city of Jerusalem. The claim of the Christians for this region is that their religion emerged there and its holy places have to be in their hands and no one else.

Islam came last, emerging from Christianity. Soon it became the dominant religion in the region through conquest and assimilation. It has been dominant in the area for over a milennium, so the claim is that it is historically theirs and since they managed to conquer the place it belongs to them.
