Answer:

polyandry

Explanation:

Polyandry is the form of marriage in which a woman possess two husbands at the same time. It is discouraged in modern societies but it was prevalent in ancient times where the husband has to go for business or war and the wife needs a male to protect her. Secondly, the mortality rate of men at that time was greater than women because of the frequent war, where participation of men was compulsory. Therefore, the social system allows a woman to have more than one husband.

As per the question, the contract of marriage of a woman with two husbands is called polyandry.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Hello,

There are 6 years that have a lot of main dates but, I will help you create a timeline to sum up 10 important ones within those 6 years.

Explanation:

--In 1914--

July 28 - Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia. Russia begins mobilizing its troops. (Start date of the war)

August 23 to 30 - The Battle of Tannenberg is fought between Germany and Russia. The Germans defeat the Russian Second Army. (Germany had wanted war with the Russians and French)

October 19 to November 22 - The Allies defeat the Germans at the First Battle of Ypres.

--In 1915--

February 4 - The Germans begin to use submarines against Allied merchant ships around the island of Britain. (The Germans had submarines which was a bit advanced to other countries so they used it as an advantage during the war)

May 7 - The Lusitania, a luxury British passenger ship, is sunk by a German submarine. 1,195 civilians were killed. This act sparks international outrage and contributes to the United States joining the war against Germany. (Germans had caused a lot of problems when they killed the thousands of lives causing the American people to team up against the Germans)

--In 1916--

February 21 - The Battle of Verdun begins between France and Germany. This battle will last until December of 1916 and will finally result in a French victory.

July 1 - The Battle of the Somme begins. Over 1 million soldiers will be wounded or killed.

--In 1919--

June 28 - The Treaty of Versailles is signed by Germany and World War I comes to an end. (This is until Germany starts another war with ww2)

Why did industrialization lead to problems? explain <br> help me someone please!
Westkost [7]
Industrialization - the United States was primarily a farming country up to the Industrial Revolution. With industrialization came a total switch in the types of jobs people performed. Working in a factory or an office is completely different from working a farm.

Immigration - with all these new factory jobs being created the need for cheap almost expendable labor was required. Industries knew this and encouraged immigration; immigrants knew this and flocked to America to work the factories for a decent wage (at least to them). Native-born Americans didn't like this - immigrants took their jobs, and at lower wages!

Urbanization - in the reverse of farming communities, great cities arose surrounded by factories and offices. The jobs were there, but the pollution spewed by industry and the low wages paid was not much of an improvement over dirt-poor farming.

On the whole, the switch from an agrarian society (farming) to an industrial society (big factories in big cities) played havoc with American life. Hope this helps a lot by By Hugi445:)
