Ancient Greek religion encompasses the collection of beliefs, rituals, and mythology originating in ancient Greece in the form of both popular public religion and cult practices. These groups varied enough for it to be possible to speak of Greek religions or "cults" in the plural, though most of them shared similarities.

Most ancient Greeks recognized the twelve major Olympian gods and goddesses: (Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Ares, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Hermes, and either Hestia or Dionysus), although philosophies such as Stoicism and some forms of Platonism used language that seems to assume a single transcendent deity. The worship of these deities, and several others, was found across the Greek world, though they often have different epithets that distinguished aspects of the deity, and often reflect the absorption of other local deities into the pan-Hellenic scheme. this was on wiki

In many societies, ancient and modern, religion has performed a major role in their development, and the Roman Empire was no different. From the beginning Roman religion was polytheistic. From an initial array of gods and spirits, Rome added to this collection to include both Greek gods as well as a number of foreign cults. As the empire expanded, the Romans refrained from imposing their own religious beliefs upon those they conquered; however, this inclusion must not be misinterpreted as tolerance - this can be seen with their early reaction to the Jewish and Christian population. Eventually, all of their gods would be washed away, gradually replaced by Christianity, and in the eyes of some, this change brought about the decline of the western empire. link here https://www.ancient.eu/Roman_Religion/

Answer:

Romans had a unique and original religious tradition that was used to define themselves as an ethnic group. Their expansion and conquest of other ethnic groups led to a form of syncretism in which Romans adopted, amongst other elements, different religious beliefs. The adoption of ancient Greek religious beliefs (their gods, particularly) became one of the most important factors in Roman religion. Most of the Greek gods and their cult is present (under different names) in Roman religion.

Alenkinab [10]

The industrial revolution, or the First and Second industrial revolutions that happened during 18th and 19th centuries, are directly connected to the Age of Imperialism: new technology demanded new raw materials to feed newly existent ways of generating power. It was the process of accelerated industrialization the origin of the need for new raw materials and consumer markets.

The First Industrial Revolution (second half of the 1700s) happened mostly on the industry. Its most radical transformation was due to the steam engine that increased production, changed the dynamics between the city and the countryside and the division of labor.

The Second Industrial Revolution was greater in terms of changes in the daily life. It was during the 1800s that happened main breakthroughs that lead to widespread use of electricity, for example. It made transports and communications faster, increasing communication and connectivity in certain parts of the world like a few European countries (mainly England) and the U.S.

To the rest of the world these revolutions meant a violent form of "connectivity". Industrialized countries now needed many natural goods they didn't have enough in their territory. Several countries were invaded and colonized and had their natural goods stolen and/or overtly explored in order to support the economic changes in Europe and the U.S., besides serving as consumer markets.

Which native american tribe in florida began attacking settlers both in florida and in georgia in the early 1800s

jek_recluse [69]

The written records of Florida begin in 1513, with the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon. The mass of land that he explored on the American continent would come to be named La Florida, in honour of Pascua Florida (Feast of Flowers), which is the name given to Spain’s Easter time celebration. By this time the Spanish had established Spanish hegemony in New Spain and much of the Caribbean. The Spanish soon considered Florida a vital asset in protecting the shipping routes they used to send bullion and other supplies back to Europe, especially since privateering was rampant at this time. With the French in Louisiana, Spanish colonization of Florida held the threat of cutting off their supplies routes to France. To the British, which had interests in the Caribbean and along the east coast, eventual colonization down the coast made conflict all but assured. Thus, Florida would become a focus for British, French, and Spanish colonization. This left many of the native tribes in Florida in a precarious position as they had to deal with the three imperial powers trying to establish dominance, each as likely to prosecute them for any multitude of reasons, but all resulting in exploitation. By the end of the 17th century most of the native tribes would be largely wiped out or nearly exterminated from disease and European aggression.
