Apart from the historical significance that it shares for Jews, Muslims, and Christians, in relation to the Old Testament kings and prophets (Muslims view David and Solomon as major prophets), is taken to be the place where Mohammad ascended on his night-journey to Paradise. The Prophet's footprint can be seen on a rock contained in the al-Aqsa mosque on Temple Moun

Jerusalem was very important to Muslims from very early times (passages in the Qur'an seem to suggest that Muslims originally bowed to Jerusalem rather than Mecca), and a mosque was established at Jerusalem by the second caliph 'Umar.

What two events occurred in Boston that caused tension between British Parliament and the colonists
finlep [7]

The two events occurred in Boston that caused tension between British Parliament and the colonists were the Boston Massacre of 1770 and the Boston Tea Party of 1773.

-The Boston Massacre took place on the night of March 5, 1770. The tension caused by the military occupation of Boston, increased after the firings that a group of soldiers made against a group of protesters protesting against the rate hike on the part of England to recover from the economic losses after the war. John Adams would later say that, after the night of the Boston Massacre, the desire for independence of the United States of America began.

-The 16 of December of 1773 took place in Boston the denominated Boston Tea Party, in which a shipment of tea was sent to the sea. A group of settlers disguised as Indians threw the cargo of tea from three British ships into the sea. It was an act of protest by the American colonists against Great Britain and is considered a precedent of the United States War of Independence.

The rebellion of the settlers in the port of Boston was born as a result of the approval by Great Britain in 1773 of the Tea Act, which taxed the import from the metropolis of various products, including tea, to benefit the British Company of the East Indies to whom the colonists boycotted buying the tea of the Netherlands.

Write an informative, research-based essay that explains what factors contributed to the escalation of the Cold War. Develop you
Andrej [43]

Answer:

To be found in ¨The Age of Extremes¨ by Eric Hobsbawm

Explanation:

Hobsbawm states that the Cold War was based on a Western belief, absurd in retrospect but natural enough in the aftermath of the Second World War, that the Age of Catastrophe was by no means at an end.  J.F. Kennedy, one of the most overrated presidents according to Hobsbawm, shows this belief by saying: ´The enemy is the communist system itself... this is a struggle for supremacy between two conflicting ideologies: freedom under God versus ruthless, godless tyranny.´

It is exactly this democratic freedom that ironically fueled the Cold War fire.

Where the Sovjet government didn´t have to bother about winning votes the U.S. government did.

Another element that contributed to move confrontation from the realm of reason to that of emotion was the schizoid demand of the vote-sensitive politicians to roll back the tide of ¨communist aggression¨.

On the other side of the globe the Sovjet government, with a country and economy in ruins after the Second World War, they needed all the economic help they could get to survive. So on any rational assessment the U.S.S.R. presented no immediate danger.
