The Mandate of Heaven is a Chinese political and religious doctrine to justify the rule of the King or Emperor of China. According to this belief, <em>Heaven</em> bestows a mandate on the ruler of China. However, if he was overthrown, or if natural disasters occurred, this was considered an indication that the ruler had lost the mandate. Therefore, civilian rebellions were accepted as part of the cycle. The cycle had the following pattern:
- A New Dynasty Rises
- A New Dynasty Rules
- Mandate of Heaven Lost by the Dynasty
- The Dynasty Grows Weak
- Period of Violence Follows
According to Chinese citizens, a new dynasty would rise and become powerful. This would lead them to rule as long as they received the mandate of heaven. However, if heaven was displeased with the ruler, the dynasty would lose its mandate. As a consequence, China would experience natural disasters, rebellions and the weakening of the dynasty. A period of violence and rebellion on the part of the citizens would follow, until a different dynasty arose from the chaos and became the ruling dynasty and the cycle continued.

Many experts believe that the decline of the ancient Aryan civilization was caused by environmental changes. Another theory suggests that a sharp rise in the Aryan population led to the decline.
The answers that are fully correct regarding 20th century Republican election results are:
- won majorities in the House, Senate and won the Presidency in the middle of the century.
- elected Dwight D. Eisenhower twice.
Both of those correct answers involve Dwight Eisenhower, as it was the case in the 1952 election that Republicans gained control of both houses in Congress for the first time since the Depression era, and also won the presidency. (Note: The Republican lost their Congressional majorities in 1954.) Republicans had also won the presidency and control of both houses of Congress at earlier points in the 20th century, such as the 1900 election which brought Teddy Roosevelt into the presidency. They held that control throughout T.Roosevelt's two terms in the White House. The Democrats took back control of the House of Representatives in the 1910 election (under the Taft presidency), and followng that a Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, took over the presidency. The Republicans won back control in 1920 with the election of Warren Harding as president and reassertion of control of both houses of Congress.
Dwight Eisenhower won the presidential elections of 1952 and 1956.
The option about Ronald Reagan is <u>almost</u> correct, because Reagan did win the electoral votes of all but one state (Minnesota) in 1984. However, the win by Richard Nixon in 1972 was an even stronger win for the Republicans. Nixon also won all but one state (Massachusetts) in electoral college voting. But Nixon's margin of victory in the popular vote in 1972 was larger than Reagan's in 1984. Nixon got nearly 61% of the popular vote in 1972, far ahead of the 37.5% his Democratic opponent got. Reagan's share of the popular vote in 1984 was 58.8%, with the Democratic candidate getting 40.6% of all votes.
A this is just common sense my dude but good luck lol
