What are 5 essential facts about the elizabethan age?
Luda [366]

Answer:

The Elizabethan Era took place from 1558 to 1603 and is considered by many historians to be the golden age in English History. During this era England experienced peace and prosperity while the arts flourished. The time period is named after Queen Elizabeth I who ruled England during this time.

Many turned to small crime, such as begging, picking pockets, and prostitution, simply to avoid starvation. There was little help for the sick, elderly, and orphans. The life expectancy, or average life span, of an Elizabethan was only 42 years, but it was much lower among the urban poor.

During the Elizabethan period, the English language consisted only of 24 letters as against 26 used in the modern English language. ... Another aspect of different usage of the language was that some letters like 'j' and 'i', 'u' and 'v' were used to mean the same thing.

Elizabethan means belonging to or connected with England in the second half of the sixteenth century, when Elizabeth the First was Queen.

The diet in England during the Elizabethan era depended largely on social class. The rich ate meat and white bread, the poor ate dark bread. Everyone drank beer as water was often too impure to drink. Fruits and vegetables were rarely eaten.

Why do you think the penitentiary first caught on in pennsylvania and new york? how would you explain the increase in the number
Delicious77 [7]

Considering that the original 13 colonies were founded in the eastern seaboard of the country and that until the post WWII period the major population centers shifted from the East to the West of the country it is only natural and logical. Indeed, the eastern seaboard was the most industrialized and populated area of the USA for a long time and most immigrants entered the country through New York. Pennsylvania was also heavily industrialized and a major mining area.  

With more immigrants pouring in every year, the potential for more criminal acts increased and to keep up, more prisons were necessary. There is also the huge factor of labor rights activism, which was criminalized by employers and judges in order to keep workers docile and submissive. Many strikers and labor unions were incarcerated as well and more prisons were needed for that purpose.

Why do you think the rivalry between the u.s and the soviet union was called the cold war. what was "cold" about this conflict?
JulijaS [17]

The "Cold War" had that name because the two superpowers (the USA and USSR) did not fight a direct "hot" war against one another.  They engaged in a protracted stand-off against each other, and had an arms race of nuclear weapons and military strength.  They also supported "proxy wars" where they took opposing sides in conflicts happening in other parts of the world (such as the Six Day War in the Middle East).


Further detail:

Some of the deeper issues that caused rivalry and tension between the United States of America (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)  were that the USA was committed to capitalism and democratic institutions of government, whereas the USSR was committed to communism and imposed authoritarian government.  The Cold War was mostly a tension between these worldviews.

There were also immediate conflicts and pressure points as the Cold War began in the late 1940s (after World War II).  One of those issues was that the USA had atomic weapons and the USSR did not.  (The US would not share that technology with the Soviets, who had been their ally in World War II.)  When the Soviets developed their own atomic weaponry, this led to a massive arms race between the superpowers -- which brought significantly more tension to the situation.   Further tensions developed over which nations would be aligned with each of the superpowers -- either with the USSR and communism and with the USA and its democratic, capitalistic worldview.  And (as mentioned above), the two superpowers aided differing sides in conflicts that took place in various parts of the globe during the Cold War years.
