Prompt Use the passages below and your previous knowledge to answer parts A, B, and C of the question that follows. Use complete

sentences. Source 1 "The government of Peru was a despotism, mild in its character, but in its form a pure and unmitigated despotism. The sovereign was placed at an immeasurable distance above his subjects. Even the proudest of the Inca nobility, claiming a descent from the same divine original as himself, could not venture into the royal presence, unless barefoot, and bearing a light burden on his shoulders in token of homage. As the representative of the Sun, he stood at the head of the priesthood, and presided at the most important of the religious festivals. He raised armies, and usually commanded them in person. He imposed taxes, made laws, and provided for their execution by the appointment of judges, whom he removed at pleasure. He was the source from which every thing flowed, all dignity, all power, all emolument. He was, in short, in the well-known phrase of the European despot, ‘himself the state.’” William Hickling Prescott, American scientific historian, excerpt from History of the Conquest of Peru, 1847 Source 2 "By night and day they [human offerings] burned, supplied with fuel by an army of slaves who brought it on their backs over the long causeways that connected the island-city with the mainland and its distant forests. These pillars of smoke by day, and ill-omened banners of flame by night, were regarded with fear and hatred by many a dweller in the mountains surrounding the Mexican valley. They were the symbols of a power against which these had struggled in vain, of a tyranny so oppressive that it not only devoted them to lives of toil, hopeless of reward, but to deaths of ignominy and torture whenever fresh victims were demanded for its reeking altars. But while hatred thus burned, fierce and deep-seated, none dared openly to express it, for the power of the all-conquering Aztec was supreme. Far across the lofty mountains, to the great Mexican Gulf on the east, and westward to the broad Pacific; from the parched deserts of the cliff-dwelling tribes on the north, to the impenetrable Mayan forests on the south, the Aztec sway extended, and none might withstand the Aztec arms. If the imperial city demanded tribute it must be promptly given, though nakedness and hunger should result.” Kirk Munroe, American writer, Excerpt from The White Conquerors: A Tale of Toltec and Aztec, 1893 A) Identify ONE way that the two state systems discussed in the passages were similar. B) Identify ONE way that the two state systems discussed in the passages were different. C) Identify ONE way the descriptions of state building in the two excerpts reveal that the authors have different evaluations of the civilizations.

Answer:

A.  the two state systems were similar, because they both sacrificed people their armies had brought them and were powerful leaders.

B. the two state systems were different, because the leader of the Inca's had created laws, imposed taxes, and handled execution for judges for pleasure which caused him to be feared while the leader of the Aztec's burned their sacrifices night and day which caused them hatred from the dwellers in the mountains surrounding Mexico valley.

C. The authors have different evaluations, because in Source 1 William Hickling describes state building as a sovereign country having everything flow through one man. In Source 2 Kirk Munroe describes State building as a democracy, the Aztecs army a were regarded with fear and hatred by many.

How did Great Britain and France place the newly formed United States in the middle of their problems in the late 1700s?
Svetlanka [38]

The correct answer is A) They pressured the United States to take sides.

Great Britain and France were both heavily involved in colonizing the North American continent during the 17th and 18th centuries. Once France and England both had a strong foothold in North America, they made the citizens pick sides when fighting. A perfect example of this was the French and Indian War (1754-1763).

When America became independent (1776) the hope was that the US could avoid this past experience of being involved in the affairs of these two countries. However, this was not the case. Great Britain and France both got the US involved in their fighting. The US ended up having problems with both France and Great Britain as seen in the XYZ Affair, Citizen Genet Affair, etc.

Answer: B.) Went extinct

Explanation:

Neandertals were a subspecies of the the ancestors of modern humans and they occupied Eurasia while they were alive up to 40,000 years ago.

It was originally thought that Europeans may have descended from them but this was found not to be true even though traces of their DNA exist in very small quantities in Europeans. Rather they went extinct due to multiple factors including possible conflict with modern humans.
