Answer:   Investors and banks were involved in buying huge amounts of stocks with borrowed money.

Explanation:

There was much speculative buying on the stock market in "the Roaring '20s," as the decade was known.  In the 1920s, people were so eager to invest and earn profits through the stock market that they bought stocks "on margin."  In other words, they paid for only a marginal percentage of the stocks with their own funds, and borrowed bank funds for the rest of the purchase.  That meant the banks were complicit in this arrangement too, by allowing those sorts of loans. By the late 1920s, 90% of the purchase price of stocks was being made with borrowed money.  This inflated the market in a way that spiraled out of control, and in 1929 the market crashed.

The songhay empire replaced the ___ empire
k0ka [10]

Answer:

The answer is the Mali Empire.

Explanation:

The Mali Empire was considered the most relevant state in West Africa. In the beginning, the Mali empire was a small kingdom that was established near the Niger River in 1000 CE. Because of King Sunni Ali's influence, the Mali empire experienced an expansion of its territory.

The Empire also prospered through the trans-Saharan trade and its development was during the 16th century CE. Mali Empire's trade was not only local but also international.

However, the empire had to face many difficulties during the 1460s CE. These difficulties were related to civil wars, the creation of trade routes by the competence, and the attacks from nomadic Tuareg as well as Mossi people. Then, the Songhay empire emerged and it had a lot of power at that time.

Why do you think constantinople's location influence its growth and financial success?
Semmy [17]
<span>Constantinople was on a promontory on the southern entrance of the Bosporus, a strait which separates Europe and Asia and which connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea (via a small sea in between the two called the Sea of Marmara). This placed Constantinople both on the land route between Europe and Asia and on the naval route between the Mediterranean and the Back Sea, giving her control over these two important routes. An inlet of the Bosporus on the city's northern shore (the Golden Horn) provided a very good harbour. It was this harbour which made the fortune of the city. Two ports were built in this inlet. Hence the strategic position.</span>
