Answer:

1920

Explanation:

In 1920, the ratio of the urban and rural population was in 51:49. The population of the United States remained approximately the same in both region. The rural population moved to the urban for jobs and to live in a better condition than in rural. The standards of living were different between the city and the country. Rural areas were without electricity, where 50 per cent of urban homes had electricity. Life was getting easier in the city. Electricity opened the door for small appliances and washing machine.

The 1920 United States census recorded that 51.2% of the population was living in urban areas. Since the census is taken only every ten years, we don't really have great data for the years in between, so 1920 is the closest we have to a year where the urban/rural split was roughly 50/50.

Mali Empire key events from 1235 to 1400 AD?

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The empire of Mali existed in western Africa in the 13-15 centuries, and its possessions stretched from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the interior of the Sahara in the east. The founder of the empire was Sundiata Keita, who, after successful military campaigns, captured vast territories and became the head of the people Mandinka. The first ruler of the empire of Mali led the state since 1230.

An interesting story is the story of one of the rulers of the empire of Mali, Abu Bakr II, who had a passion for navigation. For the sake of his craving for everything new and unknown, he renounced power, left the throne and headed the flotilla, which went on a journey across the Atlantic Ocean around 1310. According to contemporaries, the fleet consisted of a large number of ships and was well equipped for a long journey.

After the disappearance of the navigator, the empire of Mali was headed by Mansa Musa, under whom the country achieved its highest prosperity. After Mansa Musa made a trip to the Middle East, in this region, according to eyewitnesses, there was a depreciation of gold, so many gold he it with him. Mansa Musa, traveling with a retinue of thousands, generously endowed the hosts with gold. Famous thinkers, poets and architects of that time, most of whom settled in Timbuktu, came with the ruler. The city has become not only the largest center of trade, but also a place of concentration of scientists and educators. During this period, madrasas - educational institutions - were built here.

Internal contradictions have repeatedly led to coups, but the empire of Mali for many years managed to maintain its integrity and to resist external aggression from neighboring states. But at the beginning of the 15th century, nomad raids and confrontation with neighboring states weakened the empire, and by the middle of the century, it had already become part of a powerful neighbor - the Songhai state.

Write any five contributions of the Etruscans to the Roman civilization.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Etruscan civilization is the modern English name given to a civilization of ancient Italy. Its homeland was in the area of central Italy, just north of Rome, which is today called Tuscany.

In ancient times there was a strong tradition that the Etruscans had emigrated from Lydia, on the eastern coast of present-day Turkey. Modern historians have largely discounted this idea, and believe that the Etruscans were an indigenous population – a belief largely confirmed by modern DNA studies. The sudden flowering of Etruscan civilization at a date earlier than other indigenous peoples of central and northern Italy probably points to the blossoming of strong trading relations between the peoples of the area – identified by modern scholars as belonging to the Iron-age Villanovan culture – and merchants (and possibly some colonists) from the eastern Mediterranean. Mining of metals, especially copper and iron, would have led to early enrichment for the Etruscans, and to a higher material culture than other Italic peoples.

The Etruscan civilization lasted from the 8th century BCE to the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE. In the 6th century the Etruscans expanded their influence over a wide area of Italy. They founded city-states in northern Italy, and to the south, their influence expanded down into Latium and beyond. Early Rome was deeply influenced by Etruscan culture (the word “Rome” is Etruscan). The Etruscans also gained control of Corsica.Between the late 6th and early 4th centuries BCE, Etruscan power declined. To the south, the rising power of the Greek city-states of Sicily and southern Italy weakened Etruscan political and military influence, and cities which they had either dominated or founded, such as Rome, threw out their overlords and became independent city-states. In the north, Gallic tribes moved into northern Italy and destroyed the Etruscan cities there. However, in their homeland the Etruscan cities remained powerful, and were formidable opponents of the rising power of Rome. It was only over a long period, in the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE, that they surrendered their independence to the Romans.

The Etruscans spoke a unique language, unrelated to those of their neighbors. Their culture was influenced by Greek traders, and by the Greek colonists of southern Italy. The Etruscan alphabet is Greek in its origins. They in turn passed on their alphabet to the Romans.
