History

The statement is TRUE.

Old imperialism was characterized by direct occupation and dominance of a territory, and started with the arrival of the Spanish to America leaded by Columbus in 1492. Colonized territories depended on their mother country for political, economic, social and cultural issues. Apart from Spain, also other countries such as France, UK or Belgium created their own empires.

The relationships established with the colonist were mostly profitable for the mother country, specially in economic terms. Such system allowed the mother country to consume raw materials, minerals and other resources from the colonies only paying for the costs of their obtention or extraction, and to use them to produce manufactures. Subsequently, they traded the final products in the international markets, becoming powerful exporting nations. They even sold those final products back in the colonies.

Answer:

Roman Empire: Centred on Rome, Latin was the official language, Roman Catholic church.

Byzantine empire: Centred on Constantinople, Greek was the official language, Eastern Orthodox Church.

Explanation:

Rome was one of the important and most powerful civilisations that ruled much of Europe for almost 1000 years. Latin and Greek were its official languages. Latin was their original language and remained the language of military, legislation and administration throughout the classical period.  <em>After the fall of Roman Empire in 476, the catholic church was competing with the Arian Christians to convert the barbarian tribes</em> and became the dominant form of Christianity. In Roman Catholicism monastic communities were centres for learning and preservation of classical culture.  

Greek civilisation lasted from the Greek Dark ages to the end of antiquity. It was at its climax under the rule of Alexander the Great. He conquered Syria, Judea, Gaza, Anatolia, Egypt , Persia , Mesopotamia and Bactria. Greek Orthodox church is related to Byzantine Empire because its history, theology and traditions are related to Early church fathers and the Culture of Byzantine. <em>They conformed to the christian faith as represented in the creeds of the early church. </em>

11. Latin American citizens face some problems because of illegal drug trade in their countries. What might they do to escape th
Alina [70]

Latin America is the most dangerous region in the world, and the situation is getting worse, a lot worse. According to a recent World Bank study, over the past two decades nearly every region in the world has grown safer or at least stayed the same, except, that is, Latin America. Latin America holds eight percent of the world’s population but suffers 40 percent of the world’s homicides and 60 percent of the kidnappings. The murder rate in Latin America is 26 per 100,000.  In Europe it is nine.

Of the 50 most murderous cities in the world, 41 are located in Latin America.  Mexico’s Acapulco ranked third, with 113 murders per 100,000 in population, behind the Latin American cities of Caracas, Venezuela, placing second at 134, and San Pedro Sula, Honduras, with 187, winning the dubious honor as the most dangerous city in the world.
