The Marshall Plan
The "Marshall Plan" was named after the man who then was US Secretary of State, George C. Marshall. Officially the plan was called the European Recovery Program. Marshall announced the plan in 1947, and it went into effect in 1948. The intent was to provide aid and rebuilding to European economies after the damaging effects of World War II. The US intended to build up its allies in Europe and stave off communism.
Answer:
Their system of mathematics.
Explanation:
The Maya discovered zero. Most of the world's civilizations had no concept of zero at the time of the Mayans. Without zero there would be: No algebra, no arithmetic, no decimal, no accounts, no physical quantity to measure, no boundary between negative and positive numbers, and no computers. The Mayan’s discovery of zero was one of the most significant steps to get to where we are today.
The counting system was so simple. The Mayans figured out a genius system of counting which only required three symbols, a dot, a line, and a shell. These three symbols could be used in various combinations to keep track of the calendar and do arithmetic. Even the most uneducated people could use it to do basic trade.
The basic difference is for whose benefit the Tax went to.
During the British revolution, the Tax that being paid went to the Federal budget of the British Government in order to fund their wars.
On the other hand, if the civilians do not pay the taxes for their own taxes, they pretty much do not contribute to the infrastructure development of their own nation.
Early Greek philosopher Anixamander (ca. 610 – 545 BC) was a monist. That means he believed that ultimately there is just one sort of substance underlying all the different things we see in the physical universe. He put forth the idea that this single underlying substance of all things is something beyond our experience. He called it the ἄπειρον (<em>apeiron</em>), which means "the boundless" or "the limitless." Anaximander was reacting to the views of Thales, a previous thinker from his same town, Miletus, who had suggested that there was one underlying substance to all things, and that <u>water</u> was that essential element. Anaximander objected to Thales' thought, because water is something we all see and experience readily in the perceived world. He believed any underlying or base-level substance, from which water and any other physical stuff originated, had to be something beyond the boundaries of our present experience, or "the boundless."
One evaluation of Anaximander's views came from another Milesian philosopher who followed him: Anaximenes. Anaximenes saw the theory of Anaximander as dodging the question, "What is the main ingredient of all things in the universe." By saying, "It's boundless; it's something we don't know," had he really answered anything? So Anaximenes dismissed the view of Anaximander ... but didn't agree with Thales either. Anaximenes proposed that air was the underlying element of all physical phenomena.
You'll have to decide for yourself what you think of Anaximander's "boundless" theory.
