History

By the time Mehmed became Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire (1451), the Byzantine Empire was reduced to Constantinople itself, the Peloponnese, and a handful of Aegean islands. The Ottomans had had control of the territory surrounding Constantinople for decades. Mehmed fortified both sides of the Golden Horn, and would eventually lay siege to Constantinople.

Those fortifications were largely there to block reinforcements from the Black Sea, namely the Genoese in the area. In response, the Byzantines stretched a chain across the Golden Horn to keep the Ottomans from using their naval superiority to assault a section of the walls.

Some Christian reinforcements managed to get past the blockade, and Mehmed decided to make up for his navy’s failures by rolling his ships on greased logs overland, then putting them back in the water behind the chain. This rendered the Byzantines chain useless, spread their troops to defend all of the city’s walls, and made the siege much easier on the Ottomans.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea could BEST be described as which of these?
lyudmila [28]

The correct answer is letter A

North Korea is a country formed through the division of ancient Korea, fragmented in 1948, according to the geopolitical interests of the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), giving rise to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea).

The creation of these two new countries occurred during the Potsdam Conference, where the dividing line was established - Yalta and Ptstan, in the 38 ° parallel. Therefore, two autonomous nations were created with opposing geopolitical ideologies: North Korea, with a communist system, supported by the Soviet Union; and South Korea, capitalist, supported by the United States.
