As Eli Whitney left New England and headed South in 1792, he had no idea that within the next seven months he would invent a machine that would profoundly alter the course of American history. A recent graduate of Yale, Whitney had given some thought to becoming a lawyer. But, like many college graduates of today, he had debts to repay first and needed a job. Reluctantly, he left his native Massachusetts to assume the position of private tutor on a plantation in Georgia.

What tactics did Stalin use to take control in Eastern Europe?

Elena L [17]

This answer is a bit long...but a lot has to be said to understand

As a result of the victory in the Great Patriotic War/ WW2, Soviet troops were on the territory of the liberated countries of Eastern Europe. Here the formation of new authorities immediately began. The governments of Eastern European states, in which local communists and their allies played a prominent role, began to focus on Moscow. Leading positions in the Communist parties, with rare exceptions, were occupied by politicians who passed through the school of the Comintern. The strong influence of left-wing political forces in Eastern Europe was due to their active participation in the resistance movement, the weakening of right-wing forces after the defeat of fascism, and the frank support of the Soviet Union. At first, the communist parties were, as a rule, part of broad socio-political association. Communist Party representatives received ministerial portfolios in coalition governments. Gradually their influence increased. In particular, the authority of the Communists grew after the agrarian reform in Eastern European countries, accompanied by the destruction of large land tenure. Now the support of the Communist Party began to be received from the peasants. By the end of the 40s. Communists ousted representatives of other parties from the governments, establishing their control over the states of Eastern Europe. Almost everywhere, the seizure of power by the Communist parties was carried out without armed violence, with the visible preservation of democratic procedures. In the postwar years, the East European socialist countries have achieved significant success. With the active assistance of the USSR, their economic potential was restored. If before the war only Czechoslovakia had developed industry, then in the second half of the 20th century, modern industry was created in all of Eastern European countries. Even such traditionally agrarian countries as Bulgaria and Romania confidently embarked on the path of industrial development.

Why did Chandragupta Maurya relinquish his throne?

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Though in old time it was a common practice for kings to leave kingdom to their son in many parts (Many of which are in modern India). But unlike other great kings, Chandragupta Maurya renounce his throne in much younger age.

Chandragupta Maurya studied about different philosophy, religions etc and started following Jainism since his early life. After many fights and fulfilling his dream to unite almost all India (Land that starts from Himalayas in the North to the ocean in the south) he started practicing Jainism more rigorously.

On the night of full moon in the month of Kartik (15 days after Deepawali), he had 16 dreams which implied that practicing dharma and self enlightenment would be harder in coming time. Also there will be twelve year of death and famine. (As explained by his Guru Bhadrabahu) Details of all dreams are:

1. The sun setting (Interpretation: All the knowledge will be darkened)

2. A branch of the divine tree (Kalpavriksha) break off and fall (Interpretation: Decline of Jainism and Chandragupta's successors wont be initiated)

3. A divine car (dev-vimaan) descending in the sky and returning (Interpretation: The heavenly beings will not visit Bharata Kshetra)

4. The disk of the moon sundered (Interpretation: Jainism will be split into two sects)

5. Black elephants fighting (Interpretation: Lesser rains and poorer crops)

6. Fireflies shining in the twilight (Interpretation: True knowledge will be lost, few sparks will glimmer with feeble light)

7. A dried up lake (Interpretation: Aryakhanda will be destitute of Jain doctrines and falsehood increase)

8. Smoke filling all the air (Interpretation: Evil prevail and goodness hidden)

9. A monkey sitting over an elephant (Interpretation: Vile, low-born, wicked will acquire power)

10. A dog eating the pudding (kheer) out of a golden bowl (Interpretation: Kings, not content with a sixth share, will introduce land-rent and oppress their subjects by increasing it)

11. Young bulls working hard (Interpretation: Young will form religious purposes, but forsake them when old)

12. Kshatriya boys riding donkeys (Interpretation: Kings of high descent will associate with the base)

13. Monkeys scaring away swans (Interpretation: The low will torment the noble and try to reduce them to same level)

14. Calves jumping over the sea (Interpretation: King will assist in oppressing the people by levying unlawful taxes)

15. Foxes pursuing old oxen (Interpretation: The low, with hollow compliments, will get rid of the noble, the good and the wise)

16. A twelve-headed serpent (Interpretation: twelve year of death and famine upon this land)

Chandragupta maurya was very desperate to become a monk and he consulted all the policies and left the kingdom in the safe hands of his son Bindusar and became a Jain Monk. Because it would have been not possible for Jain monks to survive the famine in Northern India (In city Ujjaini), they moved to southern India (Near Shravanbelgola).
