A patriarch is the highest church official.
In 60 BC, Caesar, Crassus and Pompey formed the First Triumvirate, a political alliance that dominated Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power as Poplars were opposed by the Optimates within the Roman Senate, among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero. Caesar rose to become one of the most powerful politicians in the Roman Republic through a string of military victories in the Gallic Wars, completed by 51 BC, which greatly extended Roman territory. During this time he both invaded Britain and built a bridge across the Rhine river. These achievements and the support of his veteran army threatened to eclipse the standing of Pompey, who had realigned himself with the Senate after the death of Crassus in 53 BC. With the Gallic Wars concluded, the Senate ordered Caesar to step down from his military command and return to Rome. Leaving his command in Gaul would mean losing his immunity to criminal prosecution by his enemies; knowing this, Caesar openly defied the Senate's authority by crossing the Rubicon and marching towards Rome at the head of an army.[2] This began Caesar's civil war, which he won, leaving him in a position of near unchallenged power and influence.
Answer:
On the night of November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall—the most potent symbol of the cold-war division of Europe—came down. Earlier that day, the Communist authorities of the German Democratic Republic had announced the removal of travel restrictions to democratic West Berlin. Thousands of East Germans streamed into the West, and in the course of the night, celebrants on both sides of the wall began to tear it down.
The collapse of the Berlin Wall was the culminating point of the revolutionary changes sweeping East Central Europe in 1989. Throughout the Soviet bloc, reformers assumed power and ended over 40 years of dictatorial Communist rule. The reform movement that ended communism in East Central Europe began in Poland. Solidarity, an anti-Communist trade union and social movement, had forced Poland’s Communist government to recognize it in 1980 through a wave of strikes that gained international attention. In 1981, Poland’s Communist authorities, under pressure from Moscow, declared martial law, arrested Solidarity’s leaders, and banned the democratic trade union. The ban did not bring an end to Solidarity. The movement simply went underground, and the rebellious Poles organized their own civil society, separate from the Communist government and its edicts.
Explanation:
<span>C. It showed that Europeans were unwilling to allow further Islamic expansion into Europe.
The Battle of Poitiers is also known as the Battle of Tours, or (in Arab sources) as the Battle of the Palace of the Marytrs. The leader of the French armies was Charles, the son of Pepin of Herstal, the "majordomo" (Mayor of the Palace) serving kings of the Merovingian dynasty.
He received the nickname "Martel," meaning "The Hammer," for his leadership at the Battle of Tours (or Poitiers) in 732, defeating the forces of the Umayyad Caliphate. Islamic presence was thus kept from advancing further into Europe than the Iberian peninsula at that time.</span>
Instead of it meaning all of mankind is equal, it truly boiled down to: All white, rich, males in a position of power, are equal.
I think it's a no brainer why some resisted unfair treatment. If you, your family, and everyone else like you were being disrespected, and stripped of their rights, wouldn't you want to freaking do something? So slaves, women, etc rose up, and tried to resist.
Slavery has no place in "All men are created equal"
Deliberatly placing a divide between social classes is not "All men are created equal"
