3 0

1a. Canaan was a large, prosperous ancient country that was located in the land that includes current-time Israel, Lebanon, northwest parts of Jordan and western areas of Syria. In the Bible, Canaan is the promised land given by God to the descendants of Abraham. Nowadays, the word Canaan has become a metaphor for liberation from opression.

1b. The temple in Jerusalem built by Solomon in the 10th century BC, was burnt, according to historian Titus Flavius Josephus, during the sacking of Jerusalem by pharaoh Shoshenq I of Egypt. It burned "four hundred and seventy years, six months, and ten days after it was built"

2. Water, the Mediterranean Sea was crucial for Greek life:

Transportation. Greece is a peninsula, which means that is surrounded by water on three sides. While the inland is covered by mountains, the sea allowed for the transportationof people, raw materials and products to other regions.

Seafaring. The Greeks were skilled sailors that built rowing and sailing ships. Fishing became one of the important activities that provided with fresh or dried fish, an important part of the diet.

Trade. The Mediterranean Sea was a commercial highway and allowed the commerce with other civilizations and territories from the Mediterraneum, the Black Sea and even Egypt. Commerce came with the expansion of trading posts and the spreading of cultural products.

Mycenaean Greece (or the Mycenaean civilization) was the last phase of the Bronze Age in Ancient Greece, spanning the period from approximately 1600–1100 BCE. It represents the first advanced civilization in mainland Greece, with its palatial states, urban organization, works of art, and writing system.[1] Among the centers of power that emerged, the most notable were those of Pylos, Tiryns, Midea in the Peloponnese, Orchomenos, Thebes, Athens in Central Greece and Iolcos in Thessaly. The most prominent site was Mycenae, in the Argolid, after which the culture of this era is named. Mycenaean and Mycenaean-influenced settlements also appeared in Epirus,[2][3] Macedonia,[4][5] on islands in the Aegean Sea, on the coast of Asia Minor, the Levant,[6] Cyprus[7] and Italy.[8]

The Mycenaean Greeks introduced several innovations in the fields of engineering, architecture and military infrastructure, while trade over vast areas of the Mediterranean was essential for the Mycenaean economy. Their syllabic script, the Linear B, offers the first written records of the Greek language and their religion already included several deities that can also be found in the Olympic Pantheon. Mycenaean Greece was dominated by a warrior elite society and consisted of a network of palace states that developed rigid hierarchical, political, social and economic systems. At the head of this society was the king, known as wanax.

Mycenaean Greece perished with the collapse of Bronze Age culture in the eastern Mediterranean, to be followed by the so-called Greek Dark Ages, a recordless transitional period leading to Archaic Greece where significant shifts occurred from palace-centralized to de-centralized forms of socio-economic organization (including the extensive use of iron).[9] Various theories have been proposed for the end of this civilization, among them the Dorian invasion or activities connected to the "Sea Peoples". Additional theories such as natural disasters and climatic changes have been also suggested. The Mycenaean period became the historical setting of much ancient Greek literature and mythology, including the Trojan Epic Cycle.[10]

Nación latinoamericana que se constituyó en una pieza clave en las relaciones internacionales durante la Guerra Fría, tanto por
Leokris [45]

Answer:

La nación hispanoamericana, que no latinoamericana, que tenía las características de cercanía geográfica con los Estados Unidos de América y cercanía ideológica con Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas fue Cuba.

Durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, luego de secesionarse de España, terminó en la esfera de influencia de los Estados Unidos, primero como protectorado, luego como una república que servía como enclave para intereses estadounidenses en las actividades azucareras, tabacaleras y turísticas, tanto legales como ilegales, y que tuvo varias dictaduras, muy represivas y no menos corruptas, entre las cuales estaban las de los generales Machado y Batista.

La Unión Soviética envió agentes para infiltrar los estamentos políticas y culturales a la isla desde finales de los años 20 y una guerra con una ideología muy próxima al estalinismo surgió a mediados de los años 50, ganando posiciones en la isla hasta ocupar la capital, la Havana en 1959, cuando el anterior dictador, el general Fulgencio Batista, pierde el apoyo del gobierno estadounidense y huye a España, donde moriría en 1.973.

Dando comienzo a un régimen que eliminó la propiedad privada, estatizó sin indemnización toda empresa privada, incluyendo las empresas estadounidenses, generó un éxodo de cubanos hacia los Estados Unidos y España que ha continuado hasta la fecha. En 1962, los Estados Unidos de América impone un embargo económico a Cuba como respuesta.

Esta isla también fue objeto de una fallida incursión militar de disidentes cubanos en Bahía de Cochino y fue sede del establecimiento de misiles soviéticos, que luego fueron desmontados a cambio del desmonte de misiles estadounidenses en Turquía. Ambos sucesos ocurrieron en 1.961.
