Whitepunk [10]3 years ago

Since they viewed it as a great way to 'decrease the surplus population', having a different, more sympathetic outlook would have helped. Giving them food they could cook and eat would also have helped: the Irish had a lot of trouble trying to prepare and eat the Indian meal they sent. They could also have opened more soup kitchens, told the landlords to show a little leniency and stop evicting people because heir livelihoods were gone and their means of paying rent with them. But they wanted to get rid of the Irish, and so they did. There was a famine in the Scottish Highlands in 1846 and because of charitable efforts nowhere near as many people died. They could have saved them by showing charity, but they didn't.

Which of the following BEST summarizes the beliefs of Sunni Muslims with regard to succession of the caliph?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

They believe that the position of the Caliph is not hereditary and that Mohammed did not single out anyone to succeed him.

Explanation:

The Sunni's and the Shia's are two divides in the Muslim religion that have differing views about the position of the Caliph who is the leading religious and political leader of the Muslim community.

While the Sunni's believe that there is no appointed successor of Mohammed and that the position of the Caliph can be given to anyone, the Shias believe that Imam Ali is the rightful successor of Mohammed. They also believe that the office of the Caliphate should be passed through the descendants of Fatima, the daughter of Mohammed.

What was the role of the following in the process of suburbanization:
Aneli [31]

Answer:

In the postwar era, many Americans moved away from cities and into suburbs, helped by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the Veterans Administration (VA). And thus we cannot truly say the GI bill is part of why the economy rebounded so quickly. I think that people had easier house loans back In that era.

How many years was it between the first human spaceflight
AysviL [449]

Answer:

50 years

Explanation:

The first human spaceflight named Vostok 1 was launched on April 12, 1961. This spaceflight took along with it Yuri Gagarin, a Cosmonaut who came from the Soviet Union. Thus this scientist was the first to ever travel to space and enter into orbit.

The formal end of the space shuttle program was marked in August 31, 2011. The last shuttle, STS-135 that was flown by Atlantis was retired on July 2011. So the time duration between the first human spaceflight and the end of the space shuttle program spanned some 50 years.
