Alisiya [41]4 years ago
4 0
Six weeks after Iraq invaded Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush went before a joint session of Congress on this day in 1990 to lay out the administration’s response to the attack.

With a large U.S. military buildup already under way in the Middle East, the president outlined a series of goals. They included the unconditional withdrawal of Iraqi forces, the restoration of the Kuwaiti government, the promotion of security and stability in the region and the safety of U.S. citizens trapped in Kuwait and Iraq.

“Iraq will not be permitted to annex Kuwait,” Bush told the lawmakers in the presence of foreign diplomats, including the Iraqi ambassador. “And that’s not a threat, not a boast. It’s just the way it’s going to be.”

Describe the daily lives of medieval europeans including their homes, occupations, education, and leisure activites
Mandarinka [93]
A medieval european was most likely a serf, peasant, or a craftsman of some sort. These people represented the majority of the living populace in Europe in the middle ages. Their homes were simple, without excess luxury. They had the most basic necessities, but did not have much more, because they could not afford it. Families often lived together in huts where there was only one big space with a kitchen and a gathering place somewhere in the middle. Most European citizens at the time weren't educated, farmers, peasants, and serfs usually did not receive any formal education or very little, if they were lucky enough to be taught by the local priest or had somebody in their family that was educated. Their leisure activities were different from what we would call leisure activities today, they could singing, dancing, drinking, storytelling, etc. but how they did these things was quite different compared to today.
