Answer:
For Presidents’ Day, we need to remember the strong leadership that George Washington gave our nation during the Revolutionary War and afterward, when he became our first president. His integrity and courage in times of crisis make him an exceptional role model for students today.
One neglected feather in Washington’s cap is his commitment to having the U. S. be a financially sound nation. He knew that no nation ever became strong–or remained strong–on borrowed money. Financial integrity and national power go hand in hand. Thus, he committed the U. S. to paying off all debts incurred in fighting the Revolutionary War. When he took office in 1789, the U. S. owed about $41 million in IOUs to thousands of merchants, bankers, and citizens who loaned money to Washington and other leaders for guns, supplies, and food. Sometimes those IOUs are called “continental bonds.” We also owed about $11 million to the French for financial (and military) aid in overcoming the British.
Some American politicians wanted to renege on these debts, or only pay part of them off. But Washington and his Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton recognized that U. S. credit and international integrity could only be obtained by paying back our creditors all that we owed them. Thus, Washington supported a tariff–usually 5%–on all imports, and he supported a whiskey tax as well as the two methods of raising money to pay off our national debt. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to avoid “the accumulation of debt,” and asked them not to throw “upon posterity the [debt] burden, which we ourselves ought to bear.”
What was the result of Washington’s effort to set high fiscal standards for the U. S.? Americans followed his leadership and usually spent less federal money that was taken in by the tariff and the whiskey tax. In less than forty years after Washington’s presidency, the entire national was eliminated and the U. S. actually (for a brief period) was a nation of surpluses and no debt. We had laid the foundation to become a great nation thanks in part to the excellent leadership of George Washington.
Answer:
They used guns to conquer a large area on three continents.
Explanation:
The Ottomans were one of the many empires that form the "Gunpowder Empires", flourishing during the 16th to 18th centuries. The term "gunpowder empire" refers to the kingdoms or empires that were formed by outside rulers who come together uniting their conquered lands.
One reason why the Ottoman Turks were considered a <em>"Gunpowder empire"</em> was because of their use of guns in conquering lands. These conquered lands include large areas covering three continents, Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Answer:What is the communicative intention of the text?
At the age of twenty-five, Muhammad married the rich widow Jadicha, of whom he was a servant; Jadicha gave him a daughter, Fatima, in addition to a more comfortable social position as a respected merchant in the city. He came to know, albeit superficially, the two great monotheistic religions of his time (Christianity and Judaism) through the small Christian and Jewish communities that inhabited Mecca and perhaps also through his business trips. Such a low culture (because he was probably illiterate) would not prevent him from creating a religion that was to serve as the basis for a whole culture of universal diffusion. [...]
Muhammad found his first adherents among the poorer urban masses, while at the same time making enemies with the rich. When his followers became numerous, the authorities began to see him as a threat against the established order; He was accused of being an impostor and the persecutions began. A part of his followers fled to Abyssinia, where they received the protection of the Christian negus. But the threats to Muhammad's safety reached such a point that, after the deaths of Jadicha and Abu Talib in 619, he decided to flee to Medina on July 16, 622. [...]
Muhammad was personally the creator of Islamic theology, which was reflected in the Koran, the only holy book of Muslims; It is a collection of sentences that are supposedly inspired by Allah and that were collected during the prophet's life and compiled around 650.
In the last two years of Muhammad's life, Islam spread to the rest of Arabia, unifying the various pagan tribes that inhabited that territory. They were a group of polytheistic Semitic tribes, whose continuous state of war between clans had until then prevented them from having any role in history. Despite being born in a backward and marginal region of the planet, and coming from a modest background himself, Muhammad turned the warlike Arab tribes into a united people and embarked on an unprecedented expansion. When Muhammad died without a male heir, disputes over the succession broke out, which fell to the prophet's father-in-law, Abu Bakr, thus becoming the first caliph or successor.
Answer:
Explanation:
One main similar thing between the Catholic Reformation and the Protestant Reformation was that both addressed concerns with the practices of the Catholic Church. Both the parties had the same solution through the practice of Catholic Church.
The aim of both the reformations (protestant and Catholic) was to correct the things which were seen in the church such as abuse or problems. However, what each party (Protestant and Catholic) considered problems and how they addressed them was not the same.
