History

Finger [1]3 years ago

Answer:

Infectious diseases have changed the structure and numbers of people living in communities. The European bubonic plague, or “Black Death” (1348-1350), identified by painful swollen lymph nodes and dark blotches on the skin, killed 80% of those infected. At least 20 million people died, which was about two-thirds of the European population at the time. It slowed urbanisation, industrial development and economic growth as people left cities and reverted to rural and agricultural life. Those who survived, however, were highly sought after for work. The accidental introduction of measles to Fiji (1875) by people travelling between Fiji and the West caused massive numbers of deaths in communities previously not exposed to the disease. In a few months 20-25% of Fijians and nearly all of the 69 chiefs died. The leadership vacuum and loss of working-age population became an opportunity for the colonial government to import labourers from other nations to work in the agricultural industries.

Which core social factor gave people a sense of community and shared responsibility in medieval african culture
Vanyuwa [196]

Medieval African culture can be divided into two large regions: North Africa, which encompasses the Saharan region, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

During medieval times, North Africa was under several Islamic caliphates. Therefore, sense of community and shared responsibility in medieval North African cultures came from the religious notion of belonging to the <em>Umma</em>, the Islamic community. For these societies, the social order established under the Sharia or Islamic law was a sacred order with a religious basis, and people had strong bonds to every neighbor since they were part of the same religion/political order.

This was very different from the Sub-Saharan societies where the sense of community and shared responsibilities was a product of the family bonds that existed within a tribe or small kingdom. Religion and beliefs were also a very important factor for the creation of community links since it set a common ground for understanding and belonging.

Nevertheless, there were some societies located mainly in the Sahara desert, that shared both the Islamic faith and a tribal form of organization -like the Tuareg people-, which used to combine elements from the two systems in order to strengthen the community bonds in a deeper level.

1. ways the Canadian military was taken serious in World War I?
kogti [31]

Explanation:

The military history of Canada during World War I began on August 4, 1914, when the United Kingdom entered the First World War (1914–1918) by declaring war on Germany. The British declaration of war automatically brought Canada into the war, because of Canada's legal status as a British Dominion which left foreign policy decisions in the hands of the British parliament.[1] However, the Canadian government had the freedom to determine the country's level of involvement in the war.[1][2] On August 4, 1914, the Governor General declared a war between Canada and Germany. The Militia was not mobilized and instead an independent Canadian Expeditionary Force was raised

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to attach the illustration and the options for this question. However, we can say the following.

The illustration shows a plan for the city of Washington from the late 1700s. What resulted from this plan was that "There were not enough funds for the federal government to create a national capital and pay its debts."

Here, we are talking about the plan known as the "L'Enfant Plan" of 1791. It was a plan to urbanize the zone of what today is Washington D.C. and was designed by a close man of United States President George Washington.  His name was Pierre L'Enfant. He suggested that the new capital of the country could be located next to the Potomac River for the many advantages it generated for trade and as a means of transportation.

L'Enfant was a French architect that had known Washington during the years of the Continental Army that fought against the British troops during the Revolutionary War.
