History

Verdich [7]3 years ago
4 0

The Persian army advanced through Attica and entered Athens.The Delphie oracle had said that Athens would he kept safe by her “wooden walls” and a few diehards, refusing to take part in the evacuation, remained behind a wooden barricade on the Acropolis. They learned too late that they had misinterpreted the oracle.Their resistance was overcome and Xerxes burned Athens. Themistocles and his sailors could now be sure that their ships were the only “wooden walls” which stood between the Athenians and annihilation.Unfortunately, although Athens had supplied by far the largest number of ships (180) to the Greek fleet, the admiral-n-chief was a Spartan. Athens had not yet the prestige to persuade other states to serve under her.At sea, as on land, a Spartan had to be in charge.

Which factor contributed to the massive loss of human lives during World War I?
erica [24]

Answer: b. New weaponry and technology did not address the stalemate of trench warfare, prolonging the war and leading to the massive loss of human lives.

World War I introduced many modern warfares which include airplanes, tanks, trench warfares and other weapons. Along the western front, most of the war was fought using trench warfare. Both sides dug long lines of trenches to protect the soldiers from gunfires and the area between the trenches was called No Man's Land. Trench warfares prolonged the war which led to the loss of millions of soldiers.

Musya8 [376]

The correct answer is that numbers 1, 2 and 3 are accurate and number 4 needs revision. The Edict  issued by the emperor Constantine didn´t fail because it protected and preserved the freedom of worship for the Christians and even other forms of beliefs. The Concil of Trent occured much later as the Protestant Reform was a threat to the Roman Catholic Church.
