Answer:
The expansion of the Arab Empire in the years following the Prophet Muhammad's death led to the creation of caliphates occupying a vast geographical area.
Explanation:
There were four main factors in the world´s population decline in the 1300s and 1400s:
a. The climate: There was a drop of temperature that is referred to as the Little Ice Age. With freezing winters and cooler summers crops failed, which caused faming or mass starvation to occur.
b. Famine or starvation: The results of starvation were devastating. Tens of thousands of people simply starved to death. Epidemic illnesses carried off tens of thousand more whose resistance to disease had been weakened by hunger.
c. Spread of the Blac Plague or Black Death: In 1347 this new plague struck Europe and hit rich and poor alike. This was the plague in two forms, bubonic and pneumonic. Within a generation, plague killed off 40 percent of the English population and nearly 60 percent of the population in Northeastern France. The mass of death and the flight of population further undermined agriculture and added to the constant threat of famine.
d. The Hundred Years' war: The governments of France and England added to this natural calamities by carring out a series of long, deadly wars, which are known as the Hundreds Years' war (1337-1453), and which agravated the problem of agricultural decline. The war took place entirely in France and contributed to the loss of lives and farmland.
Civilians did things such as mend clothing for soldiers, make ammunition from household silver, and many women followed their husbands to the battlefield where they washed, mended, and cooked for troops. Very few were able to fight in combat, but some women did.
San Antonio was the seat of power for the Tejas area. Even though, Texas was not an individual state (it was part of the larger state of Coahuila y Tejas) it still had and did many of the things that other states did. THE size and population of Texas demanded that it have a more local regional government than the one located hundreds of miles away in Coahuila. The city became even more sought after during the Revolution. Santa Anna thought that taking San Antonio would help to squash the rebellion. However the Battle of the Alamo became an inspiration for the Texians and Tejanos fighting for freedom.
