Question 8 - Although it remains a serious issue, poverty results in very few deaths worldwide
The poverty is one of the biggest problems in the world. It is present pretty much everywhere in the world, though the highest poverty rates by far are in the less developed countries. The people in this countries are so poor that they often don't have food and water, yet alone to be able to pay for medical care. This often results in death from starvation, lack of water, of from deadly diseases. Tens of millions of people each year die because of poverty.
Question 9 - AIDS
The advancements in the medical field have contributed to control of some diseases that were deadly in the past, or total elimination of them. But the medicine has limited power, and it is not almighty, and one of the disease that it can not cure, but only partially regulate is the AIDS. The AIDS is a relatively new disease, starting off less than a century ago. It spread out very quickly though, as one of the easiest ways for it to be transmitted is through sexual intercourse. It affected people from all over the world, from all races, from all backgrounds and social hierarchies. Tens of millions of people have died from it, and every day there are tens of thousands newly infected, mostly in the less developed countries, having their lives doomed even before they start as most of them get it from their parents when they have been conceived.
China lost the Sino-Japanese War.
It was easy for the Muslim army of the Arabs to conquer much of persia and parts of the Byzantium empire because bothe the persian and the Byzantium army were weak due to years of fighting among themselves. The Arabs did not have to face any tough resistance from either the Persian or the Byzantium army. During the first century, the byzantium army did not like fighting open battles and they mostly were in the defensive. Although during 740 the Byzantium army came out for open fighting with the arabs, but still they were battered with heavy artilerry by the Arab army.
