It happened in Ireland and  was a period of famine, disease and mass emigration between 1845 and a variable date between 1849 and 1852, in which the population of Ireland was reduced between 20 and 25 per cent. Hunger killed some one million people and forced more than a million to emigrate from the island mainly to the United States and Canada. The cause of hunger was a disease caused by the <em>oomycete Phytophthora infestans</em>, which contaminated potatoes across Europe in the 1840s. Although the whole of Europe was affected, a third of the population of Ireland depended potatoes to survive, and the problem was exacerbated by several factors linked to the political, social and economic situation

What were the failures and victories of the Second Crusade?
Jlenok [28]

Answer: The Second Crusade was the second major crusade launched from Europe, called in 1145 in response to the fall of the County of Edessa the previous year. Edessa was the first of the Crusader states to have been founded during the First Crusade (1095–1099), and was the first to fall. The Second Crusade was announced by Pope Eugene III, and was the first of the crusades to be led by European kings, namely Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, with help from a number of other important European nobles. The armies of the two kings marched separately across Europe and were somewhat hindered by Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus; after crossing Byzantine territory into Anatolia, both armies were separately defeated by the Seljuk Turks. Louis and Conrad and the remnants of their armies reached Jerusalem and, in 1148, participated in an ill-advised attack on Damascus. The crusade in the east was a failure for the crusaders and a great victory for the Muslims. It would ultimately lead to the fall of Jerusalem and the Third Crusade at the end of the 12th century.

The only success came outside of the Mediterranean, where Flemish, Frisian, Norman, English, Scottish, and some German crusaders, on the way by ship to the Holy Land, fortuitously stopped and helped capture Lisbon in 1147. Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe, the first of the Northern Crusades began with the intent of forcibly converting pagan tribes to Christianity, and these crusades would go on for centuries.

What term refers to people who believe in more than one god? A. theologists B. monotheists C. atheists D. polytheists
Sliva [168]
Atheists are people who believe that there is no god.  So it's not C.
Monotheists are people who believe in 1 god.  Mono means 1. So not B.
A theologist is a person who studies theology.  So not A.
Poly means many, or a lot.  And a polytheist has 2 or more gods.  So D would fit your bill.
