What are three ways Constantinople's location was beneficial to the Byzantine empire ?

History
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
5 0

Attacking Constantinople by sea was difficult. The strong currents of the Bosporus endangered hostile fleets without shelter. Meanwhile the Golden Horn served as a perfect harbour for the Byzantines in war and peace. During times of war, it sheltered friendly ships. At the same time it allowed Constantinople to receive supplies by sea to withstand long sieges. 

The only landward route to the city lay on its western side. Countless hosts of bloodthirsty enemies approached from this front in the hopes of taking the city. But the land walls of Constantinople continually thwarted their efforts until 1453. In 1453, the Ottomans, relying heavily on gunpowder and cannons managed to breach the ancient walls and overwhelmed the defenders.

Do you think it is important today for the senate to have more stability than the house of representatives?
anzhelika [568]
The Senate is appointed by a state's legislature and not directly elected by the electorate, with each term lasting six years, whereas representative terms run for only two years. With the benefit of more time, the Senate is more stable meaning that decisions can be followed through on; this also has its pitfalls meaning that Senators don't reflect, always, the current mood of the country. With that said, I think that the Senate should have relatively more stability than the House of Representatives, but perhaps, should be re-elected every 3 years, not 6.

Why might India’s political and economic success be so crucial to the future of democracy in Asia
n200080 [17]
India's political and economic success would be very crucial to the future of democracy in Asia because India is the only democratic country where people can practice any religion of their choice. India is surrounded by certain countries that have harbored terrorism and it can destroy the world, if India falls. Countries like China are also trying to support these kind of countries and India is the only hope.
