Explain ONE way in which slavery affected relations among African states in the period c. 1200-c. 1450.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The slave trade brought about a negative impact on African societies and led to the long-term impoverishment of West Africa. This intensified effects that were already present amongst its rulers, kinships, kingdoms and in society.

Some societies preyed on others to obtain captives to exchange for firearms. They believed they had to acquire firearms in this way to protect themselves from attack and capture by rivals. Demand for African captives, particularly for the sugar plantations in the Americas, became so great that they could only be acquired by initiating raiding and warfare. Large areas of Africa were devastated and societies disintegrated.

What are two reasons why the Soviets resented America? ​
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The Soviet Union was not included in the American/British creation of the atomic bomb during the Second World War. They felt they were doing their part in the alliance and did not like being left out of something so important. This helped to further cement distrust.

What was the Cold War and some name some effects
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Cold War was a conflict that lasted for decades between the communist countries of the world, led by the Soviet Union, and the non-communist countries of the world, led by the United States.  It was a conflict in which both sides tried to dominate the world with their ideology.  It is called “cold” because it was not an actual “shooting war” between the US and the USSR.

The Soviet Union was a communist country.  Communists believed that their ideology was superior to that of the democratic, capitalistic countries of the West.  They believed that communism would eventually take over the world and they wanted to speed that process as much as they could.

The United States was strongly opposed to communism.  It felt that communism was economically inefficient and that it trampled on people’s fundamental human rights.  For these reasons, it wanted to prevent the spread of communism.

After the end of WWII, the Cold War started.  The US and the USSR tried to influence other countries to take their side.  Sometimes, wars ended up being fought, as they were in Korea and Vietnam, to try to prevent the spread of communism.  At other times, the competition between the two ideologies took the form of athletic competition or competition to land a man on the moon.  The purpose of such competition was to show which side had a superior system.

The Cold War ended in 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed.

american colonists' strong principles were the main reason they decided to declare their independence from britain.
Deffense [45]
The answer is, To argue for, there's the obvious, which is that the colonists didn't like their lack of voice within British Parliament. They also didn't like how Britain was treating other colonies, what would become Canada for instance, with similar laws and codes seen in the US colonies. You could also argue that it was a more financial decision, as the taxes placed upon the colonies and the restrictions on trade were hurting American businesses. Honestly, an argument combining the two would probably be more rounded.
