stich3 [128]3 years ago
4 0

American Law is heavily influenced by British Common Law which was in turn influenced by Roman law, as England was conquered by the Romans and the classical societies were incredibly influential during the Enlightenment.

As a result, latin terms have trickled down over the ages and have remained an integral part of "legalese"

What Impact did the Great War have on Russia and the creation of the Soviet Union?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Conflicts from June'41 to May'45 (WWII) is commonly referred to as the Great Patriotic War.

The Soviet Union was established far before these events and lasted long after. The immediate effects post-war were mostly negative. The economy was of the nation and its people were significant damaged due to the massive loss of towns, factories, livestock, and citizens. This lead to limited harvests and food shortages during and after the war. The political impact lead to the military and government creation of the "Iron Curtain" which essentially attempted to reinforce communism and socialism by blocking out any western, non-communist ideologies. Because 70% of the industrial output went to the war effort, many citizens became homeless, jobless, and even starved to death. It would take countless years for the country to recover and the effects are still felt today.
