5 0
In the ancient Sumerian society, the priests were so influential because people thought that they were the representatives of God. People beleived in God but they could not see them. The priests took advantage of the fear of god among people to become very influential in the Sumerian society. The common people were of the opinion that the Gods used to speak to them through the help of these priests. The priests were so powerful during those times that they even became rulers of certain city-states. Actually they were taking advantage of the beliefs of the common people.

Answer:

Portuguese explorers began voyages south along the Atlantic coast of Africa.  First the Portuguese established trading posts along the coast of West Africa, but gradually moved further south along the coast. This was the beginning of the African slave trade. The Europeans is different from the Arabs, they did not conduct raids themselves, but bought slaves from Arab slave brokers and African chiefs. Europeans built trading post and forts all along the coast of West Africa.  The slaves were transported across the Atlantic Ocean primarily to Brazil, the West Indies and the English colonies in North America. As the demand for slaves expanded, whole areas of Africa were depopulated. The European African slave trade began during the mercantalist era. It continued well into the industrial era. In fact because African slaves played a major role in the industrial revolution in Europe.

In World War II which was more important military or industrial mobilization? Give two reasons for your answer.
I am Lyosha [343]
In world war 2 industrial mobilization was more important. An example of this can be seen with the german reich. Germany at the beginning of the war had stockpiles of equipment to rely on and were a powerhouse that nearly won the war before the United States even entered however as they started getting bogged down their stockpiles dwindled and their industry could not keep up ultimately resulting in their downfall. Another reason for this is the fact it is easier to send allies equipment than it is to send them men.
