Answer:

When they stopped conquering people, they stopped taking slaves. Much of the rural economy was built around slavery and there was a pretty firm bias against allowing slaves to have children- the investment in raising a slave child not to mention the loss of productivity of the mother and the possible death or both mother and child during childbirth led slave owners to prohibit much breeding.  

Allowing slaves to have children and form family bonds also made them more likely to revolt- humans often fight harder for the rights of their children for their own.  

So, without a renewable source of slaves, it became very difficult to run farms and vineyards. Without profitable and productive agriculture, there were less taxes.  With less taxes, there were less funds to do civic improvements like maintaining aqueducts and roads and support standing armies.  

Emperors decided to raise taxes on everyone to make up the difference which led to the ruin of many private citizens and the marked increase in wealth of the nobility who were often exempt from many taxes (which they voted for, themselves, as senators) leaving them with the funds to buy up neighboring properties and essentially, their neighbors to work the land.  Feudalism grew out of a switch from a civic or community focus to a self or family focus.  

The Eastern Roman Empire maintained a strong base of taxation and a standing army for a thousand years after the fall of the West, but their economy wasn't nearly as dependent on slaves for labor. They survived by repeatedly reforming their style of government to suit the current needs without ever losing the power of the central government.

What kind of a war did we have with the soviet union?
stiks02 [169]
We had the Cold War. It was called the Cold War because no military force was used in the war. It was mainly a technology race to try and scare the other country and come out superior. Espionage was also used in the war, but there was no man on man combat, and war with atomic/nuclear weapons was not conducted. I hope that answered your question, my friend.

How did the early British colonies in North America differ from one another? <br><br>please help ​
cricket20 [7]

Answer:  Colonial America had regional differences in the establishment of each colony. The southern colonies were established as economic ventures, seeking natural resources to provide wealth to the mother country and themselves. In contrast, the early New England colonists were primarily religious reformers and Separatists. New England had poor soil and a cold climate, but plenty of forests and fish. The Middle Colonies had fertile soil, a warmer climate, and rivers for trans- portation. The Southern Colonies had an even warmer climate and many waterways in the tidewater.

Which of the following would most likely NOT have a direct correlation with an increase in productivity for a company?
tamaranim1 [39]

“Increase in company stock prices” is NOT likely to have a direct correlation with an increase in productivity in a company because when speaking about productivity it refers to improving the amount of products manufactured or sold by a company. For example, if a company that assembles cars today makes 1.000 cars per day and then increases that amount to 2.000 cars assembled per day, company productivity has improved 100%.

Company productivity may increase for the following reasons:

• Buying new technology: following the car company example, if it acquires new technology that speeds up the production process, such as an assembly machine, then more cars will be made.

• Additional training for their labor force: If the company that bought a new machine trains its labor force to use it, then production will also increase as employees know how to handle the equipment.

• Hiring additional workers: more qualified workers mean more production. For example, a company has 50 workers and they make 100 pair of shoes daily, then it hires 50 more workers so they make 200 pair of shoes by day. Therefore, the company productivity has increased.
