History

The African trade in gold and salt caused the Ghana Empire to rise to prominence, and the disruption of that trade led to its decline. During its time, Ghana was one of the richest polities in Africa.Though Ghana was not rich in natural resources itself, it was located along an important trade route between gold- and ivory-producing areas in the south and salt miners in the Sahara desert to the north. As a result of this strategically important location, Ghana became a wealthy entrepot.
Though the exact origins of Ghana are clothed in mystery, tradition places the empire's origins in the fourth century AD. By the ninth century, the area had become affluent according to accounts by Muslim traders who began to visit the area. These traders from the north continued to develop the trade, linking its gold resources with the vital markets in the Mediterranean region, and the empire grew larger by incorporating its neighbors.
The decline of the empire started in the 11th century, when the Almoravids, a militant confederation of Muslims, began to attack the empire and even conquered it for a time. Though their grip on power did not last long, the chaos they brought to the region destabilized trade, hurting the empire's sources of income. Decline ensued. The remnants of Ghana were incorporated into the Mali Empire in 1240.

Answer: The ideological creator of communism and socialism.

Explanation:

The theories of communism and socialism were implemented in practice based on the views of Karl Marx. This German philosopher was a rigid opponent of capitalism that began to emerge during the Industrial Revolution. He believed that the state belonged to the workers. His political doctrine influenced millions of people's destinies, especially in those countries where communism and socialism were adopted as a political system. Based on his political doctrine presented in most of his "Capital", certain countries formed dictatorial regimes, as was the case in the Soviet Union.

How did the economic role of women change during the civil war?
frez [133]
More control over the family businesses: The Civil War took men away from farms, businesses, and plantations. Women were expected to take control of matters in their absence.

The war opened new economic opportunities as women were provided a chance to run family businesses. This was especially true for women in the South who had to run plantations while their husbands fought or were involved in the government.
