Answer:
Tactical/Logistical incompetence and geography
Explanation:
The Soviet Union came into Afghanistan underestimating the Mujahideen. They believed they would be unorganized, awfully equipped, and tactically inferior. For the most part, they were right. The Soviet Union did have a stronger industry, better technology, more manpower, air superiority, and more equipment. However, they failed to recognize the logistical challenges of mountain warfare, and lacked the skill to fight in mountain warfare. The Afghani mountains are some of the largest and most unforgiving in the world. The steep angles and clouds of the mountains made it difficult for the Soviet Air Force to track and attack the enemy. In addition, trucks and supply lines were hard to get through, leaving many troops under equipped. The constant ambushes, low supplies, lack of air support, and Mujahideen guerrilla warfare in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth eventually left the Soviet Union no choice but to withdraw their forces.
Answer:
In the 1930s, the United States abandoned the gold standard because the government wanted to rapidly expand the money supply in response to the Great Depression.
Explanation:
The Gold Standard monetary system was abandoned during the years after the Great Depression of 1929 to prevent prices and wages from falling in response to a general reduction in global demand, so that adjustments fell on the total amount of employment. Under these conditions, the depreciation of the exchange rate (that is, the abandonment of the pure gold standard) was considered "less painful" (in order to reduce exports). This prevented the reduction of wages, especially since the pressure of the unions imposed this kind of policy in some way. And all this in addition without taking into account that all countries, sooner or later, would adopt the same policy, resort to devaluation, with which the destruction of employment for years was inevitable.
Answer:
The most powerful person in ancient Egypt was the pharaoh. The pharaoh was the political and religious leader of the Egyptian people, holding the titles: 'Lord of the Two Lands' and 'High Priest of Every Temple'. He owned all of the land, made laws, collected taxes, and defended Egypt against foreigners. The pharaohs of the New Kingdom used their wealth to build massive temples to the gods. The city of Thebes continued to be the cultural center of the empire. The Temple of Luxor was built at Thebes and grand additions were made to the Temple of Karnak. The unity and strength which characterized the 18th and 19th Dynasties steadily was lost during the 20th. The New Kingdom ended when the priests of Amun grew strong enough to assert their power at Thebes and divide the country between their rule and the pharaoh's at the city of Per-Ramesses.
