History

Marina CMI [18]4 years ago

The Babylonians adopted the Numerical system developed by the Sumerians of Mesopotamia. The Sumerians formed a mixed system of Metrology, which followed the creation of the arithmetic, algebra and geometry. The initial traces of Babylonian numbers are dated back to the days when the Sumerians wrote the multiplication charts on the clay slabs around 2600 BC. The Babylonians like the Sumerians based their numerical system on Sexagesimal ( a system of calculation invented by the Sumerians) or base 60. Hence they developed a system for writing down the numbers using symbols for Unit, tens, and Hundreds, therefore this system helped them to manipulate large numbers easily.

What do you believe is the most compelling reason why the Industrial Revolution originated in England? Why
vazorg [7]

Answer:

coal

Explanation:

I believe that the biggest and most compelling reason was coal. The English were the ones that discovered that coal burns longer and cleaner than any other current material and began stockpiling in the early 1700s. This stockpile of coal allowed them to explode in growth when the Industrial revolution began in 1760. Mainly because they had all the necessary coal they needed to build and power all of the machinery.

Which were major impacts of World War II on economic life in the United States?
murzikaleks [220]
During WWII, women went to work in factories while the men were away from war, this actually helped the unemployment rate drop since women were actually being used for something other then just being a "house wife", which was common in that time. Since we were just coming out of the great depression, it was hard for America to have the money to actually make weapons and have a war that we could actually fight.
