Answer:

Monumental architecture is built to serve an intrinsic artistic purpoose, and an extrinsic purpose in terms of religious and political power.

Explanation:

The intrinsic purpose is simply to create something that applies the most important or favored artistic techniques of the time. And the extrinsic purpose is to demonstrate the power and wealth that is held.

For example, the Roman Emperor Neron wanted to build a large palace called the Domos Aurea. He wanted the palace to be built under the best Roman architects of the time, and also wanted it to serve as a place of worship, for himself. He wanted to wield both political and religious power, as a sort of semi-devine figure, through the completion of the palace.

it was a mistake for the United States to make an alliance with the Soviet totalitarian communist union during World War II
omeli [17]

I'll assume that's a thesis statement meant for argument or debate.  An argument could be made on either side, depending on your point of view.  

  • On the one hand, the United States and the Soviet Union had dramatically different worldviews.  The US system of democracy and capitalism was at odds with the USSR system of totalitarian rule and communist collectivism.  The two nations were allied only for the sake of defeating Germany and Japan in the Second World War, and were in opposition to each other in about every other way.  Following the war, they became bitter opponents in the Cold War.
  • On the other hand, the USA and the other Allies in World War II needed the help of the Soviet Union in order to defeat the combined threat of Germany and Japan.  The USSR suffered millions of casualties due to the war -- more than any other nation.  They bore the brunt of the fighting against Germany, even before the US entered the war.  And President Roosevelt, while not in agreement with the governing philosophy of Joseph Stalin, still thought he was someone that could be worked with cooperatively.   (When President Truman took over after Roosevelt's death, he did not share that same view of Stalin and the USSR.)

So the matter can be argued from both sides.  Pick your side and write a strong essay!

What was the impact of the destruction and death toll?
satela [25.4K]
Hundreds of thousands died of disease. Roughly 2% of the population, an estimated 620,000 men, lost their lives in the line of duty. Taken as a percentage of today's population, the toll would have risen as high as 6 million souls. The human cost of the Civil War was beyond anybody's expectations.
