The Aztecs and the Mayans were two ancient societies in Meso America. The Mayan civilization goes back to about 1800-2000 BC and was in decline when the Spaniards arrived whereas the Aztecs were a much younger civilization that was at its peak when Cortez arrived. The Aztecs were located mostly in what is now Mexico whereas the Mayans were more in what is now Guatemala and Honduras. Both the Aztecs and Mayans believed in human sacrifice but the Aztecs did this much more than the Mayans. While the Aztecs layed out their cities according to celestial observances, the Mayans were more scientific and developed a calendar very similar to our modern calendar. The Aztecs had one supreme ruler whereas the Mayans had many city states like Uxmal in Guatemala and Copan in Honduras with local rulers.

Which was an argument for Japanese imperial expansion?
Sonbull [250]

Answer: C. creating a buffer against Western influence.

The main purpose of the Japanese imperial expansion was the desire to create a buffer against Western influence. Japan felt that the West and their imperialist plans were likely to continue to spread. Instead of waiting for these countries to overtake them, Japan wanted to develop its capabilities and engage in imperialism themselves. In order to fulfill this goal, they greatly developed their military. They also engaged in intense modernization and industrialization.

Definition of Shi'a Islam​
UkoKoshka [18]

Shi'a Islam

  • Shi'a Islam or Shi`ism (from the Arabic word شيعة, Persian: شیعه) is the second largest school within Islam. Shi'a Muslims adhere to the teachings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his Ahlul Bayt (family). Shi'as believe that the Imam – their preferred title for the political and religious leader of the Muslim community must belong to the direct lineage of Muhammad through his daughter Fatima and her husband (and Muhammad's cousin), Ali ibn Abi Talib (Imam Ali, the fourth caliph). The Imam is regarded as sinless and infallible and appoints his successor (except within the Zaydi sub-group, in which he emerges). The Shi'as reject the first three caliphs in Sunni Islam as usurpers of Ali's Imamate. The theme of lineage and infallibility of the Imam developed within Shi'a Islam, as well as the idea of a hidden Imam who will bring God's judgment in the Last Days. There are several sub-divisions. Some Shi’a, such as the Aga Khan Ismailis recognize a living Imam. For the majority group, the Imam is now "hidden" but will return as the Mahdi. Relations between 'Shi'a and Sunni Muslims have been strained although efforts at reconciliation have also been made. The differences between the two schools can be maximized or minimized, depending on the agenda of the commentator. Shi'a have often lived as minorities and as such have experienced persecution. Since the beginning of the Safavid Dynasty it has been the State religion in Iran, where this status has often led to confusion between religion and the pursuit of Iranian national goals, which have sometimes involved a desire to restore Persia's ancient power and prestige in the region.
<h3>Etymology</h3>
  • The term Shi'a comes from the Arabic word شيعة Shi'a. The singular/adjective form of this name is Arabic shi`i شيعي.
  • "Shi'a" is the short form of the historic phrase shi`at `Ali شيعة علي, meaning "the advocates of Ali." Sunni and Shi'a sources trace the term to Muhammad himself. The phrase Shi'a of Ali was historically a title given by Muhammad and later by his descendants in praise of Ali's followers and that of the Ahlul Bayt (house of the Prophet’s family). Rippin (1991) refers to Shi'a as an "alternative vision of Islamic identity" (Rippin 1991, 103-116).
