Answer:

The Kyoto Protocol

Explanation:

In the year of 1997, in Kyoto, Japan, the Kyoto Protocol was signed by pretty much everyone, apart from the United States. The purpose of the Kyoto Protocol has been to limit and decrease the carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere, based on the usage of the fossil fuels, in order to stop the global warming and the harm to the environment. While everyone agreed with it and signed it, the United States did not. The excuse of the United States was that it will harm their economy, their development, and that the country will not be able to cope with it. After that, China did the same, with the excuse of ''if they want to develop and progress, we should be able to do it as well''. Nowadays we have a situation where these countries don't obey to the Kyoto Protocol and they are responsible for almost half of the global emissions of carbon dioxide, while the smaller polluters are giving their best to decrease the usage of fossil fuels and reduce the emissions.

Please can somebody give me some ideas for an essay about roman armys
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The Roman army was the backbone of the empire’s power, and the Romans managed to conquer so many tribes, clans, confederations, and empires because of their military superiority. It was also the source of the empire’s economic and political strength, ensuring domestic peace so that trade could flourish. However, this peace was often coterminous with subjugation. The Emperor used the army to protect Rome and to control the people it had conquered.

The Roman army was also a tool of cultural assimilation. Some soldiers were away from their families for long periods of time, loosening their clan loyalties and replacing them with loyalty to Rome. The Roman army was a means by which a barbarian could become a citizen, but the process was not fast. Only when a soldier had served in the army for 25 years he could become a citizen of Rome.

The army was organised in a very simple way:

5000 Legionaries (Roman Citizens who were in the army) would form a Legion.

The Legion would be split into centuries (80 men) controlled by a Centurion.

The centuries would then be divided into smaller groups with different jobs to perform.

oman soldiers were trained to fight well and to defend themselves. If the enemy shot arrows at them they would use their shields to surround their bodies and protect themselves. This formation was know as ‘the turtle’.

They fought with short swords, daggers for stabbing and a long spear for throwing. They also carried a shield for protection as well as wearing armor.

The tactics were simple but versatile enough to face different enemies in multiple terrains: From the forests of Germania to the rocky planes of the Greek peninsula. For these and many other reasons the Roman army was the reason for the Empire’s existence for several centuries.
