Answer:

The Ishtar Gate (Arabic: بوابة عشتار‎) was the eighth gate to the inner city of Babylon[citation needed] (in the area of present-day Hillah, Babil Governorate, Iraq). It was constructed in about 575 BCE by order of King Nebuchadnezzar II on the north side of the city. It was part of a grand walled processional way leading into the city. The walls were finished in glazed bricks mostly in blue, with animals and deities in low relief at intervals, these also made up of bricks that are molded and colored differently.

Purpose:

Constructed in 575 BCE during the reign of the revered King Nebuchadnezzar II (605BCE-562 BCE), the Ishtar gate was the 8th gate to the city and the main entrance. As the name suggests, it was dedicated to Ishtar – the goddess of fertility, love, war.....

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Generally, progressive reforms, gender role changes, unequal economic gains and cultural seeming permisiveness provoke resistance from more conservative sectors. This is so because the creation or acceptance of new rights implies a transfer of power by the most powerful sectors, which are those who generally support conservative policies, while seeking to maintain the status quo.

Thus, conservatives consider that this type of transfer of rights expands the powers of other social groups, in turn diminishing their own rights and powers. Therefore, tensions are generated between the two groups, which are resolved through political agreements.

How did the Harley smoot tariff make the depression worse
vodomira [7]

It increased 900 import tariffs by an average of 40% to 48%. Most economists blame it for worsening the Great Depression. It also contributed to the start of World War II. In June 1930, Smoot-Hawley raised already high U.S. tariffs on foreign agricultural imports.

photoshop1234 [79]

Although many of his movie roles and the persona he created for himself seemed to represent traditional values, Reagan’s rise to the presidency was an unusual transition from pop cultural significance to political success. Born and raised in the Midwest, he moved to California in 1937 to become a Hollywood actor. He also became a reserve officer in the U.S. Army that same year, but when the country entered World War II, he was excluded from active duty overseas because of poor eyesight and spent the war in the army’s First Motion Picture Unit. After the war, he resumed his film career; rose to leadership in the Screen Actors Guild, a Hollywood union; and became a spokesman for General Electric and the host of a television series that the company sponsored. As a young man, he identified politically as a liberal Democrat, but his distaste for communism, along with the influence of the social conservative values of his second wife, actress Nancy Davis, edged him closer to conservative Republicanism. By 1962, he had formally switched political parties, and in 1964, he actively campaigned for the Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater.
