 A. To protest U.S. support for Israel
The United States supported Israel since the end of WWll when it was created as a homeland for Jews displaced during the war. Almost all of the other Middle Eastern countries hated Israel because they were Muslims and Israel was made up of Jews. And  they also favored Palestine which was the country that Israel was made of. European officials literally told Palestine that they no longer owned that tract of land because it was Israel's now. In the 1970's the United States increased it's aid to Israel which enraged OPEC and they placed an oil embargo on America which increased the price of gas and further added to the economic hardships facing the country at the time.

What did mercenaries have to do with the decline of the Roman Empire?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation: Supreme military discipline and training served as the foundation for the construction of the Roman Empire. However, when the Empire grew in size and began to fragment, the Western Empire could not maintain its superior military strength anymore. As a result, it began to rely on mercenary forces, typically composed of barbarians. The armies were not disciplined and had no loyalty to the Empire. Therefore, the military structure was unable to maintain its integrity. And as soon as that occurred, the political system came crashing down. At various points in antiquity, the mercenary soldiers would turn against the Romans and begin to demand or grab land for themselves. For example, Alaric, the Gothic ruler who eventually conquered Rome, was formerly a Roman mercenary leader before becoming king.
