One famous speculation about the impact of China’s geography comes from Jared Diamond’s book Guns, Germs, and Steel.
<span><span><span>Diamond says that China’s geography initially helped the country.  He says (on p. 414) that China’s heartland did not have many barriers to break it up.  Its two major river valleys were easily connected.  This allowed the civilization of the north to interact with the civilization of the south.  The two civilizations could share ideas and strengthen one another.  This, Diamond says, helped China become a very strong and advanced country by the early 1400s.  At that point, it was more developed than European countries were.  Thus, its geography helped it by allowing it to become a unified civilization very quickly.However, Diamond says that this geography then caused China to lose its lead over Europe.  Because China was so geographically interconnected, it was able to become one unified country instead of being many small countries as existed in Western Europe.  In Europe, the countries competed with one another and forced each other to develop.  In China, there was only one country and there was no competition.  This meant that China did not have to keep progressing.  It could stagnate in terms of technology without being conquered by other neighboring countries.  Because China was united and unchallenged, it did not have to get stronger.  In this way, Diamond says, its geography, which had once helped it rise, also helped make it fall.</span></span></span>

Gradually, American society came to accept that girls could be educated and that women could be ____
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Gradually, American society came to accept that girls could be educated and that women could be <u>TEACHERS</u>

Explanation:

As early as the 19th Century, most men and women lived by their traditional roles in the society. Men would work and be the breadwinners in America, while the Women would be the 'home maker' who would take care of the kids, clean the house, cook and do the dishes.

In such traditional roles, it was not normal for a woman to be highly educated and go out to work.

However, by the early-20th Century, things had started to gradually change. With the on-set of the first and the second world war, more and more women, left their homes to take up jobs.

In the early years of women rights though, Conservative Americans found it hard for girls to be educated and to become professional teachers.

Lee’s vision for invading pennsylvania
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The implication in Lee’s reports that his goals in the Gettysburg campaign were limited, and largely achieved, is at least partly consistent with some modern studies of the campaign. They challenge the traditional view that Gettysburg was a disastrous Confederate defeat that shattered Lee’s hopes for a war-winning victory on Northern soil. They also reject the notion that Gettysburg was a crucial turning point toward ultimate Union victory in the war. According to historians who question these traditional interpretations, Lee’s incursion into Pennsylvania was a raid, not an invasion. A smashing victory over the Army of the Potomac would have been a nice bonus, but it was not the main goal of the raid. The Union victory at Gettysburg was merely defensive, and the Army of Northern Virginia got away with its spoils and lived to fight another day— indeed, many other days, as the war continued for almost two more years. It was only in retrospect and in memory that Gettysburg became the climactic battle and turning point of the war.

Explanation:

Some of these arguments are self-evidently correct. The war did go on for almost two more years, and the Confederacy still had a chance to win it as late as August 1864 by wearing out the Northern will to continue fighting. Rebel foraging parties did scour hundreds of square miles of south-central Pennsylvania for whatever they could find and take—including many African Americans carried back to Virginia into slavery.

Hope this helps : )
