Answer:

The prompt requires causation processing because it is asking how trade networks affect state formation. Causation describes causes and effects of historical development and the question is asking for the effect trade networks have on state formation in West Africa. The question limits what the writer can include about trans-Saharan trade networks to only state formations and limits the networks to only trade networks. It also limits the location of networks to trans-Saharan and limits state formation to West Africa. The writer can choose different trade networks and can pick one or many West African states.

Answer:

    In the period from 1200 to 1450 CE, the trans-Saharan trade network influenced state formation in West Africa by significantly supporting the development of large states in the area. Opportunities for trade taxes and the control of imports and exports generated wealth and resources needed to support the development of a sophisticated government. Additionally, these networks encouraged the development of thriving urban centers, increasing the power and fame of the states in the region.

    As the trans-Saharan trade network developed, empires in the region repeatedly taxed and controlled trade. For example, historical record shows that the mansas of Mali directly controlled trade of crucial goods such as metals and horses, since they were critical in forming and establishing effective and strong military forces. They also taxed the trade of key goods including salt and copper. In a similar fashion, other empires in the area enforced heavy taxes on merchants, using the funds to support the state. Control over gold trade by Ghana’s leaders allowed for the collected funds to establish and maintain a large, administrative bureaucracy.

    The effects of the development of trans-Saharan trade networks on West African states can be better comprehended by considering earlier developments of cities and states in the region. Due to the difficulty encountered in raising livestock and crop growth in the scorching Sahara, West Africa’s economy fell behind that of North Africa until trade grew. Similarly, while a sophisticated civilization grew and developed in the Niger Valley after 300 BCE, growing trade cities at that time had not joined to form a larger empire. The ongoing development of the trans-Saharan trade, however, provided West Africa the resources needed to change economically and politically.

How did Lincoln’s intentions in relation to slavery change from the beginning of the war to the end?
tester [92]

Answer:

At the outset of the Civil War, President Lincoln had not spoken out specifically on issues relating to slavery, but on the contrary, had established that abolition of slavery was not one of the mainstays of the Union, but the maintenance of national unity.

Now, as the years and battles progressed, this position was mutating, and in 1863 President Lincoln made his Emancipation Proclamation, by which he freed all the African-American slaves that were in the southern states that were falling into the hands of the Union, urging in turn that they join the northern cause.

Thus, through these types of policies, President Lincoln was including slaves and abolitionists within his political position, leaving the Confederation in ideological check.

In what way were artists of the northern renaissance different from the artists of the italian renaissance
Yakvenalex [24]

The correct option is:

They primarily painted their works using oil paint.

During the Italian Renaissance, some remarkable egg tempera paintings and frescoes were produced. The northern renaissance didn't present that kind of frescoes because the climate wasn't appropriate to cure them. That´s why the north developed the chemistry of oil paints, so artists could have a medium that would dry and last.
