History

jeka57 [31]3 years ago
5 0

Absolutism was a very common form of government in Europe between the 16th and 19th centuries and defended the theory of the king's absolute power over the entire nation. The power of kings during the <u>Middle Ages </u>was considered limited compared to the absolutist period, as there was a lot of political fragmentation and the king's influence depended on a relationship of vassalage, in which the exchange of favors between kings and nobles guaranteed real power.

As modern nations were being structured, mainly England, France and Spain, and as trade resurfaced in Europe, a new social class emerged with great economic power: the bourgeoisie. For the bourgeoisie, the political and economic fragmentation that existed since the Middle Ages was not interesting, as it affected their business, mainly because of the differences in currency and taxes existing from one province to another (even in provinces of the same kingdom, there were these differences in currency and taxes).

The nobility, in turn, welcomed the concentration of power in the figure of the monarch as a way to guarantee control of the lands he owned. Thus, the concentration of power in the hands of the king was a demand from the rising bourgeoisie and also from the nobility.

Lunna [17]

Correct answer:  B) The population of the newly created Israeli state grew rapidly.

Context/details:

Jewish settlers had been coming into Palestine since the late 1800s.  During the years following World War I, that population stream continued to grow.  

After World War II ended, the United Nations (UN) adopted a plan for the partition of Palestine that would create a portion of that territory as the state of Israel.  Arabs in the region and surrounding Arab nations were not in favor of this.  On May 14, 1948, the Jewish leaders in the land proclaimed their independence as a nation, and a war with Arab peoples and nations in the region followed.  Israel won that war and established itself as a nation.  The new state of Israel was granted membership in the UN in 1949.

In 1950, the Israeli government passed the "Law of Return," which said that "every Jew has the right to come to this country."  In their minds, they were returning to the land of their ancestors.  Many people of Jewish ancestry did go to become citizens of Israel.   At the time that Israel declared its independence in May, 1948, the Israeli population was 806,000.  By 1960, a decade after the Law of Return had passed, the population had more than doubled, to 2.2 million.  By the end of the 20th century a few decades later, Israel's population grew to nearly 6½ million.
