The Japanese surrender ended World War II after six years of conflict across the planet. The confrontation between the United States and Japan began when Japan caused a surprise attack on the US Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii on December 7, 1941.
N the first century CE, during the reign of Emperor Tiberius, silk had become a big problem. The luxury fabric, imported at great cost from China, had become a symbol of decadence and excess among Romans. In order to make their supply of silk last longer, merchants unraveled and re-wove their fabric into thinner, sheer garments. This practice had a side-effect of making the garments nearly transparent.
Seneca the Younger, a writer and imperial advisor, complained of people wearing silk:
"I can see clothes of silk, if materials that do not hide the body, nor even one's decency, can be called clothes. ... Wretched flocks of maids labor so that the adulteress may be visible through her thin dress, so that her husband has no more acquaintance than any outsider or foreigner with his wife's body.”
In the year 14 CE, the Roman historian Tacitus reported that the Imperial Senate made it illegal for men to wear silk, resolving that "Oriental [Eastern] silks should no longer degrade the male sex. "
This prohibition on silk did not last. The demand for silk continued to drive trade between the Roman Empire, China, India, and many places in between. To understand what caused this trade in silk, we need to look at how Chinese silk got to Rome.
An NGO is a non-governmental organization. They are voluntary groups, which are independent of governments. Some do get funding from government programs, but they are not under the direct control of a government office. NGOs typically also are not-for-profit; they are not businesses aimed at making money for themselves. Their aim is to help people in disadvantaged areas or circumstances. Some NGOs give out loans to help people improve their lives. Typically they will have more flexible or workable loan arrangements for a needy borrower than might be available from typical governmental sources of loans or traditional bank loans. For instance, there are NGOs that will grant small business loans without requiring collateral. Or there are NGOs that do microlending -- very small loans in developing countries to help someone get started with a very basic business. FINCA and Hope International are both examples of NGOs that do this sort of microlending.
