Answer:

The most widely practiced religion in Latin America is Catholicism.

Explanation:

Religion in Latin America is mostly Christian, mainly Catholic, but Protestantism is expanding in recent years. In general, religion is an important cultural factor in various Latin American countries.

According to a study published in 2018, the countries where more than 50% of its population declare themselves Catholic are Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. In Chile and Uruguay, however, a marked process of secularization is evident as the percentage of people who declare themselves atheist, agnostic or without religion reaches approximately 40%, rivaling the portion that is identified as Catholic. At the same time, countries where less than 50% are Catholics, but more than 40% declare themselves as Protestant are Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.

In general, high levels of religious participation are more common in Central America. There is a greater tendency for Protestants, compared to Catholics, to pray daily, attend religious services at least once a week and consider religion to be very important in their lives. Argentina, Chile and Uruguay are the three countries in the region where there is the lowest religious practice, the lowest percentage that consider religion very important, those who pray less, read the Bible or other religious texts or attend religious services. In addition, they are the countries where a lower percentage donates their income to the church and those that least adhere to the practice of fasting during sacred periods.

Which event began the Korean War?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The event that began the Korean War was a military aggression by a communist nation.

Explanation:

After the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to divide Korea in two. They drew the border in parallel 38, leaving the North in charge of the Soviet Union and the South in charge of the United States. Each superpower controlled in its respective area the constitution of two new states that remained under their corresponding orbits: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the north and the Republic of Korea in the south.

Although negotiations were held for the reunification of Korea in the months before the war, tension intensified with cross-border skirmishes and incursions in parallel 38. The escalation of tension degenerated into an open war when North Korea invaded South Korea on June 25th, 1950.

How did Rome go from being one of many city-states in the Italian peninsula to being the center of the most powerful empire in the ancient world? Part of the answer lies in the political institutions that Rome developed early in its history. As Rome expanded its influence over more and more areas, its political institutions proved both resilient and adaptable, allowing it to incorporate diverse populations.

According to Roman tradition, the Republic began in 509 BCE when a group of noblemen overthrew the last king of Rome. The Romans replaced the king with two consuls—rulers who had many of the same powers as the king but were elected to serve one-year terms. Each consul could veto, or reject, the actions of the other consul. Although the office of consul probably did not exist in its final form until around 300 BCE, the idea behind this change—to prevent any one man from becoming too powerful—was present early on in Roman thought and shaped many of Rome’s political institutions.

Roman political institutions reflected Roman society, which was divided into two classes: the patricians, wealthy elites, and the plebeians, the common people. Initially, only the patricians were able to hold political office and make important decisions. For example, plebeians could not join the Roman Senate—an advisory body unable to create laws on its own but whose recommendations were taken seriously by the consuls. To become a senator, a Roman had to have held a political office, and plebeians could not. Over time, however, the plebeians were able to gain more influence in the political system.

Between the years 494 and 287 BCE, new political offices for plebeians were created and access to higher office, including the consulship, was opened to them. Voting assemblies and councils were established that gave plebeians more say in the politics of Rome. In 287 BCE, a law removed the last barrier to plebeian political participation by abolishing the requirement that proposed laws had to be approved by patrician senators before the Plebeian Council could consider them.

The Plebeian Council had real power and influence in Roman politics and some plebeians gained power and wealth under these new arrangements, but many remained poor. One reason that political rights did not lead to major changes was that the Comitia Centuriata—the main voting assembly that elected consuls and other important officials—was organized based on wealth. Each century—or voting group—had one vote, but the wealthy were split into smaller groups than the poor, giving the vote of a wealthy Roman more influence.
