I believe that the Elgin Marbles should be returned to Athens.

When the marbles were taken, it was not obvious that such an action was legal. The wording of the documents is unclear, and the marbles were not initially accepted by England. However, I believe the action was slightly justified because the Acropolis was in a terrible state, with many statues having been recently destroyed. Taking them away was a way of protecting them.

However, I believe that this justification no longer applies. In the present, Greece is a developed country that, while not rich, has enough resources to take care of its heritage. It is unlikely that the marbles suffer any danger in Greece, and therefore, the marbles can now be housed in the place where they came from.

What were some of the causes of the discontent that led to revolutions in Latin America?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The local elites, the <em>criollos</em>, had wealth, lands and social position, but they lacked political power and were discriminated because they were born in the colonial territories; their families were of Spanish origin, but as they were born in the colonies, they were seen as socially inferior to the <em>peninsulares</em>, Spanish born in Spain and who were the only eligible to the top posts of the colonial administration.  Besides, Spanish restrictions and Madrid monoply of trade impeded increased trade and its benefits with other economies. They  also got inspired by the fight of the American colonies and the independence of the United States, as well by the French Revolution and its ideals. Many heroes of Latin American independence fought with the Napoleonic armies in Europe convinced they were fighting to spread the libertarian ideals of France. Besides, the decadence of Spain added another reason to dream about independence.  The leaders of Latin American revolutions were <em>criollos.</em>

How did the scramble for Africa in the 1800s and 1900s effect the current borders of Africa?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

When they took land during the scramble for Africa they did not look at cultural borders or geographic borders. They just needed a way to say what is the property of what nation. So there were instances where opposing tribes, religions or cultures would meet inside the same borders. Many times this forced people that disliked each other to live with each other instead of away from each other.
