Answer:

We can compare the Mongol Empire with the British Empire in three ways:

The Mongol Empire did not colonize as much land as the British Empire.

Several reasons account for this, first, it's a demographic problem: the Mongols were less than the British, so they did not have enough people to populate conquered areas.

Secondly, the lands the Mongold conquered were already inhabited by other ethnic groups and there was not a lot of room.

The British Empire founded colonies in areas that had sparse population: Australia, Canada, the United States, and thousands of colonists emigrated and found room to establish farms.

The Mongol empire was interconnected by land, the British Empire was interconnected by water:

The entirety of the Mongol Empire was located in Eurasia, and spanned across deserts, praires, plains, mountain ranges, and river banks. The British Empire included territories all over the globe, in the five continents, and was held together thanks to the might of the British Navy, by far the most powerful navy at the time.

The British gained more wealth from the Empire than the Mongols:

The height of the British Empire coincided with industrialization. In a positive feedback loop, the British extracted raw materials from their colonies, and transformed them into finished goods and services. This brought enormous wealth to Great Britain.

The Mongol Empire on the other hand, did extract wealth from their colonies, but as they were not industrial yet, they did not so to the same extent.

How does the prime minister (Demitry Medvedev) of Russia resignation affect the people of United States???
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

President Vladimir Putin of Russia proposed constitutional changes that could enable him to wield political power after his presidency ends, as his longtime ally, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, unexpectedly resigned.

The changes laid out by Mr. Putin on Wednesday would limit the power of a potential successor after 2024, when he is required by law to step down. He also proposed boosting the role of the State Council, which he already heads.

As head of an empowered State Council, Mr. Putin could remain in control and guide policy after his presidential term expires.

“It’s not clear what role he will play, what will his status be. The only thing which is clear is that he will keep his role as the No. 1 person,” said Aleksei Chesnakov, a political analyst and former Kremlin aide.

Mr. Medvedev’s resignation represents the biggest shake-up in the Russian government in nearly a decade, as Mr. Putin has tried to project an image of stability despite a worsening economy and increasing layers of Western sanctions.

How did tensions between the U.S. and the USSR contribute to the development of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), t
hram777 [196]

Answer:

NATO was established as a political and military alliance in 1949 by the United States and its Western European allies. There were fears of a Soviet aggressive move toward Western Europe with the purpose to expand communism; large Soviet armies were stationed in East Germany and other Eastern European countries; Soviet influence had proved decisive to install Communists in high office in some places. In 1949, the Federal Republic of Germany was established, which caused Soviet fears and led to the creation of the German Democratic Republic (a communist state). When in 1955 the FRG was incorporated into NATO, the Soviet Union responded by creating the Warsaw Pact, the political and military alliance of the Eastern Bloc. Invasion from the West has always been a major fear in Russian security thinking, especially after WWII.  Both NATO and the Warsaw Pact played an important role in the overall diplomatic and political confrontation of the Cold War between the two top players, the USA and the USSR.
