The correct answer is A. Small but powerful nations sought more territory in order to compete with larger empires.

Explanation:

During the 15th to the 18th century, many European countries including England, France, Spain, and Portugal led different expeditions to discover new territories and trading routes all around the world which was known as the Age of Exploration. In all of these cases, the main motivation of countries was to find new territories and take advantage of the resources found on them and in this way become more powerful, expand their empires and dominate other European countries especially because most European countries were small but powerful and wanted to show this power. Therefore, the major cause of global exploration was "small but powerful nations sought more territory in order to compete with larger empires".

. What did Texas become when it declared its independence from Mexico?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The Republic of Texas

Explanation:

Since its independence from Spain in 1821, Mexico encouraged Americans to settle in the territory of Texas, but by the late 1820s, the Americans surpassed the Mexican population and there was a growing concern. Mexico tried to enforce the use of Spanish and the Catholic religion.

Conflict ensued and in 1835 it turned into a full violent confrontation.

In 1836 Texas declared its independence from Mexico and soon after drafted the constitution. Texas remained an independent Republic until 1845.

I need a short paragraph of judaism. il give brain less
larisa [96]

Judaism is the religion commonly linked to Jewish people. It is based on the principles contained in the Hebrew Bible, the Tanakh, which are expanded and explained in the Talmud.

In 2007, the world Jewish population was of 13.2 million, 41 percent of which reside in Israel, whilst the remaining is spread around the world (the diaspora).

Origins of Judaism

Jewish history begins with the covenant established between God and Abraham around 1812 BC, during the Bronze Age, in the Middle East. Abraham is a central figure in Judaism, being considered the Patriarch and progenitor of the Jewish people.

Under God’s guidance, the Jews became a powerful nation with kings such as Saul, David, and Solomon, who built the first Temple. Subsequently, this was the site around which Jewish worship was centred. The Temple contained the Ark of the Covenant, and was the exclusive site for certain religious rituals.

Throughout their history, Jewish people experienced times of great expansion and advance in knowledge (both theological and scientific) which were interspersed by periods of persecution and massacres. The Jews were slaughtered during the Christian Crusades and, along with Muslims, were persecuted and object of hatred in Europe in the 13th and 15th centuries and most recently, during the Holocaust. In this period alone 6 million Jewish people were killed, 1 million of which were children. War crimes trials of those involved in the Holocaust continue to this day.

In 1947 the United Nations agreed to create the State of Israel in what was then Palestine. In 1948 the British military forces withdrew from the region after a period of terrorist-like violence against them by the Zionists and the State of Israel was born. Since then there have been several wars between the Arab countries around Israel which have been marked by several invasions and great loss of lives. The most notable living example of the political instability between Israel and the surrounding Arab states is revealed by the ongoing political and military battles between Israel and the Palestinian people.

Beliefs and principles

The Jewish religion is based on the principle that there is only one indivisible all-powerful, all-knowing and all-present God, who is fair and just and the creator of the universe and mankind.

God’s law, the Torah, as given to Moses on the Mount Sinai reveals His character and His will for his children. It is the Jewish belief that God still acts in the world as it is today, and that He establishes a personal relationship with every one of His followers.

It is the Jewish tradition to keep God’s laws and to bring holiness into every aspect of their lives. It is their belief that the Jews are God’s chosen people, whose responsibility is to set an example of holiness and morality to the rest of the world.

The experience of Judaism is very much a community one; they consider themselves to be an integrating part of a global community. Many of the Jewish traditions are based around the family and home activities.

How do you become a Jew?

Being a Jew is very much a blood matter. Often, in order to be considered a Jew, a child must be born of a Jewish mother. However, sometimes the children of Jewish fathers are also considered Jews. There is substantial overlap between the cultural and religious aspects of the Jewish identity. Even if a Jew converts to a different religion, they are still considered Jews. Conversely, it is not easy to convert to Judaism, if not born into this cultural/religious setting.

Perhaps one of the most striking aspect of Jewish theology is the rejection of Christ as the Messiah, in sharp contrast to the Christian belief. It is generally accepted that Jesus was a Jew himself, most probably a Pharisee (teacher/theologian) of the more liberal wing. The facts that Jesus was crucified and no peace was established, and that there was a putative openness to discussion in synagogues (making Christ’s somewhat revolutionary concepts unsurprising) are some of the Jewish arguments for their stance on Jesus. The Jews are therefore still waiting for their Messiah.

Even though Judaism is one of the oldest religions still in place today, throughout times it has been influenced by other religious currents, namely Christianity, Islam and the Bahai faith.
