History

NISA [10]3 years ago
3 0
If you think of European empire prior to the 19th century, where did they extend their control over other lands?  It was mostly in the Western hemisphere.  France and Spain and others had large colonial territories in the Americas.  During the years following the French Revolution in Europe (which happened at the end of the 18th century), Napoleon came to power and the Napoleonic wars were fought across Europe.  The focus of Napoleon's attention was on Europe, not on colonies across the ocean.  So, for instance, he sold off the Louisiana Purchase to the United States.  Elsewhere across the Americas, native populations took advantage of the changes in Europe to rebel against colonial governments.  Napoleon had taken control over Spain and other parts of Europe as well as France, and a wave of independence movements broke out in colonial territories in Central America and South America.

When Europe resumed efforts to extend its control over other parts of the world, later in the 19th century (and into the early 20th century), they shifted their focus to Africa and Asia.  There was a race for controlling territories across all of Africa and especially in southeast Asia.  In Africa, only Ethiopia and Liberia managed to maintain their independence from European control when that wave of imperialist action took place.

What was one reason why Lincoln pushed for passage of the Thirteenth Amendment?
Solnce55 [7]

The correct answer is:

A. Lincoln declared it was the South's punishment for starting the Civil War.

Explanation:

<em>The 13th Amendment of the American Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude</em>; it was ratified in 1865 after the Civil War and states:

  • “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

President Lincoln stated in two speeches that Southern states had caused the Civil War because<u> </u><u>they favored slavery and because of their secession from the Union</u>, his first attempt to abolish slavery was the <em>Emancipation Proclamation in 1863,</em> but it only freed slaves from the<u> Confederate States of America,</u> so<em> Lincoln pressured the Congress to pass the Thirteenth Amendment before Southern states were restored as part of the Union </em>so they couldn't vote against the amendment. President Lincoln did not lived to see the final ratification on December 6,1865 because he was assassinated months before.

Describe copernicus' theory!
Yanka [14]
Copernican heliocentrism is the name given to the astronomical model developed by Nicolaus Copernicus and published in 1543. This model positioned the Sun at the center of the Universe, motionless, with Earth and the other planets orbiting around it in circular paths, modified by epicycles, and at uniform speeds. The Copernican model displaced the geocentric model of Ptolemy that had prevailed for centuries, which had placed Earth at the center of the Universe. Copernican heliocentrism is often regarded[by whom?] as the launching point to modern astronomy and the Scientific Revolution.

Heliocentric model from Nicolaus Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres)
Although he had circulated an outline of his own heliocentric theory to colleagues sometime before 1514, he did not decide to publish it until he was urged to do so late in his life by his pupil Rheticus. Copernicus's challenge was to present a practical alternative to the Ptolemaic model by more elegantly and accurately determining the length of a solar year while preserving the metaphysical implications of a mathematically ordered cosmos. Thus, his heliocentric model retained several of the Ptolemaic elements, causing inaccuracies such as the planets' circular orbits, epicycles, and uniform speeds,[1] while at the same time introducing such innovative ideas as:-

The Earth is one of several planets revolving around a stationary sun in a determined order.
The Earth has three motions: daily rotation, annual revolution, and annual tilting of its axis.
Retrograde motion of the planets is explained by the Earth's motion.
The distance from the Earth to the Sun is small compared to the distance from the Sun to the stars.
