Answer:

Trade accomplishments

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the author highlights the trade accomplishments of the medieval Islamic caliphate by depicting its capital city: Baghdad. This city was one of the most important political, economic, and cultural centers in the Islamic world during the Middle Ages. It was a thriving city due to the fact that it worked as a remarkable node of trade networks that encompassed from Eastern Asia and the Middle East to North Africa and the Mediterranean Sea. For this reason, the elites of Baghdad built beautiful palaces and mansions of marble, with Chinese vases and silk, gold and silver ornaments got from the Silk Road and from trade with distant markets.

9. How did the buildup of savings during the war help prevent a post-war depression?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

The buildup of savings did this because it meant that after the war, people would have lots of money saved up that they could use to buy consumer goods.  Once the war ended, the factories would have to turn from producing war materiel to producing consumer goods again.  If people had little money, there would have been little demand for these goods.  But during WWII, people saved a great deal of money.  Once the war ended, they could use that money to buy things like cars that had not been available during the war.  This flurry of buying prevented a depression.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A little exlanation is needed here, indeed, because of the words "bring back democracy." In the late 18th century, there were no democratic governments in the world. There were monarchies, autocracies, empires. So, the American republic was a pioneering experiment. In very broad terms , it is a restoration of democracy if you go back to ancient Greece, where one limited democracy existed in Athens and other city-states. But it is right , for many freedom fighters around the world, the American Revolution was an inspiration and a model to follow.
