History

6 0
The Great Leap Forward, intended to be a five-year effort, was halted in 1960 after three brutal years. The initiative is said to have cost an estimated 20 to 48 million lives as a result of catastrophic economic policy, compounded by adverse weather conditions including a flood that killed 2 million people and the subsequent crop failures that led to starvation. In addition to the fatalities, the Great Leap Forward had negative environmental impacts as communes were encouraged to set up "backyard" production plants for needed supplies such as steel, timber and cement. In 1960, an extensive drought further added to the country's troubles.

Answer:

The feudal states were not contiguous but rather were scattered at strategic locations surrounded by potentially dangerous and hostile lands. The fortified city of the feudal lord was often the only area that he controlled directly; the state and the city were therefore identical, both being guo, a combination of city wall and weapons. Satellite cities were established at convenient distances from the main city in order to expand the territory under control. Each feudal state consisted of an alliance of the Zhou, the Shang, and the local population.

What were some differences between olmec and zapotec
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

In the pre-classical period (2000 BC - 250 AD), the Olmecs and Zapotecs stand out. The Zapotec culture (600 BC - 1521) developed in the Oaxaca Valley in the south of the Mexican Highlands. Zapotecs built cities; they had a writing system and a calendar. The basis of the economy was agriculture based on irrigation. The capital of the Zapotecs Monte Alban was the largest city in southern Mexico.

The later Olmec cities were temple centers. The Olmec culture is one of the earliest cultures of Mesoamerica. Almost nothing is known about the social structure and political structure of the "Olmec" society. An analysis of the burial complexes shows that the process of property differentiation in the local society has gone quite far. The presence of ritual centers with a certain layout indicates a fairly high level of organization of power. The role of the leader, carrying out primarily military functions, is taking place.
