This question refers to the trip that Dizzy Gillespie and his band made to Southern Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia in 1956. The main reason why this trip was organized was because the United States was interested in presenting a positive image of America abroad. One of the ideas that the group wanted to spread was that of anti-authoritarianism. This led them to oppose rules and regulations of government.

This idea was particularly powerful in Greece, which at the time had an authoritarian, unpopular government. The ideas spread by these people were so popular that people in Athens tossed their jackets in the air when Dizzy played, and even carried the musician on their shoulders through the streets of Athens. This showed that the music was a huge success.

Based on the passage, identify an issue faced by the Ottoman Empire in the 1600s. *
OleMash [197]
<h2>Answer: The power of the [Ottoman] Empire was waning [fading] by 1683 when the second and last attempt was made to conquer Vienna. It failed. Without the conquest of Europe and the acquisition of significant new wealth, the Empire lost momentum and went into a slow decline.   </h2><h2> </h2><h2>Several other factors contributed to the [Ottoman] Empire’s decline:   </h2><h2> </h2><h2>• Competition from trade from the Americas   </h2><h2> </h2><h2>• Competition from cheap products from India and the Far East   </h2><h2> </h2><h2>• Development of other trade routes   </h2><h2> </h2><h2>• Rising unemployment within the Empire   </h2><h2> </h2><h2>• Ottoman Empire became less centralized, and central control weakened   </h2><h2> </h2><h2>• Sultans being less severe in maintaining rigorous standards of integrity in the administration of the Empire   </h2><h2> </h2><h2>• Sultans becoming less sensitive to public opinion </h2>

In 2003, what was the racial breakdown of republicans in the texas house?
Anna35 [415]

The 2003 Texas redistricting refers to a controversial mid-decade congressional redistricting plan. In the 2004 elections, it resulted in the Republicans taking a majority of Texas's House seats for the first time since Reconstruction. Opponents challenged the plan in three suits, combined when the case went to the United States Supreme Court in League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry.

On June 28, 2006, the Supreme Court upheld the statewide redistricting as constitutional, with the exception of Texas' 23rd congressional district, which it held was racially gerrymandered in violation of Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, apparently to try to protect a Hispanic Republican representative. A three-judge Federal District Court redrew District 23 and four other nearby districts: 15, 21, 25, and 28. In November 2006, a special election was held in the new districts, with all incumbents winning except in District 23. There, Republican incumbent Henry Bonilla was forced into a December run-off which he lost to Democratic challenger Ciro Rodriguez. I hope this helps!
