FURTUM, "theft," is one of the four kinds of delicts which were the foundation of obligationes; it is also called "crimen." Moveable things only could be the objects of furtum; for the fraudulent handling (contrectatio fraudulosa) of a thing was furtum, and contrectatio is defined to be "loco movere.

A common punishment for theft in primitive cultures was to cut off the arm or fingers of the thief. Magical effigies were used as protection against theft, but they could also be neutralized by more powerful magic! There was also religious magical thinking that people would be punished after death.

In the Sumerian culture 5200 years ago, there were laws regulating specific punishments for theft. For theft of property in temples or the royal palace, the punishment was death. The same applied to those who sold or acquired stolen goods. And even for buyers who could not prove that they had purchased the goods legally. A person caught breaking into someone’s house could be killed on the spot.

Ancient Egypt also had laws and courts to deal with thieves. Those convicted were subject to corporal punishment, such as mutilation, flogging, penal servitude or death by staking.

In 5th-century BC Greece, thieves were called kleptai (the root of kleptomaniac), and in the worst case could be sentenced to death for their deeds. In the Roman Empire, too, stealing could be punishable by death, but if the thief was not killed when caught in the act, he could instead be sentenced to reimburse the victim, often four or five times the value of the stolen goods.

What did the Korean War demonstrate about the US containment policy?
Talja [164]

Answer:

The Korean War was the first militarized instance of containment, as U.S. and South Korea fought against communist North Korea.

Key Points

In June 1950, North Korean troops surged across the border into South Korea, triggering the first major confrontation between the forces of the communist and non-communist worlds.

The Korean War was the first time the policy of containment spread outside the initial Asian defense perimeter as defined by the U.S. Secretary of State.

The success of the Inchon landing inspired the U.S. and the United Nations to adopt a rollback strategy to overthrow the Communist North Korean regime, which was later revoked after the Chinese Army intervened.

The cease-fire armistice that resulted from the Korean conflict divided Korea into a Communist northern state and a republican southern state, with a demilitarized zone between the two territories that remains to this day.

Currently, American troops are still stationed in South Korea.
