Similarities

They were the most powerful democractics.

People were angry that their government had not

been able to solve the many problems facing the Republic. Julius Caesar spoke publicly to the people about these problems, and promised to solve them if he could. The people supported Caeser. He became popular with the people and more powerful.

Roman government led to series of civil wars, and form of government lost out to a kind of monarchy with an emperor at its head. The emperor still maintained the Senate, but they were at his command, and rarely voted for him. By the end of the Pax Romana, democracy was dead in Rome.

Aristotle divided Greek governments into monarchies, oligarchies, tyrannies, and democracies, and historians still use these same divisions.

I NEED THIS ASAP PLS ITS ABOUT THE CAMP DAVID ACCORDS

Art [367]

Answer:

A. Six Day War and Yom Kippur War

After enormous tensions between Israel and its neighbors, the war began in early June 1967 in which Israel occupied the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem of Jordan, and the Golan Plateau of Syria in just six days.
This conflict is known as the Six-Day or the June War and was fought from June 5 to June 10, 1967, between Israel on one side and Egypt, Jordan and Syria on the other.
The Yom Kippur War, also known as the Ramadan War or the October War was fought between Israel and a coalition of Arab countries led by Egypt and Syria between October 6 and 26, 1973. They invaded the Sinai and the Golan Heights, occupied by Israel in 1967.

B. According to the Camp David Accords, the Israeli Prime Minister has pledged to withdraw from the entire Sinai Peninsula and to recognize the "Land for Peace" principle. The treaty provided for temporary, limited autonomy for the Palestinians as a transitional solution on the way to their own state. But for the sake of general rejection, this did not happen. Only 14 years later, in Oslo, the Palestinians were ready for a similar deal with Israel.

Politicians from around the world attended the signing of a peace treaty at the White House.
There was a lack of representatives of the Arab world: above all a representative of the Palestinians.
The Palestinians opposed the treaty, condemning it as a separate peace and boycotting Egyptian President Sadat. But he did not allow it to be shaken.

E. He was killed.

Two years after the signing of the Camp David Accords, Egyptian President Anwar Es-Sadat was killed by Islamist opponents of peace in Cairo.
Still, Camp David is a historic event, and peace between Israel and Egypt continues to this day.
No love was born of it, but there was a twisted relationship between the two countries.
