Which of the following characteristics is chariclea shared by switzerland, canada, and new Zealand

Eric Hobsbawm, the Marxist British historian, wrote a book called The Short Twentieth Century. The 20th Century had been shorter than other centuries because it had begun in 1914 with the outbreak of the First World War and terminated of course early in November 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall. The problem however, and of course we historians we like problems, is that everybody knew what we had left behind with the fall of the wall, but nobody knew what we were heading towards. As Douglas Hurd, the British Foreign Secretary at the time, put it, “this was a system [the Cold War], this was a system under which we had lived quite happily for 40 years.” Or as Adam Michnik, again my Polish solidarity intellectual, put it “The worst thing about communism is what comes afterwards.” While our populations were in jubilation in front of the television screens or on the streets of Berlin, governments were, it has to be said, seriously worried about the implications of this unforeseen, uncontrolled and uncontrollable collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the communist system. Tom Wolf, the American author, at the time had a bestseller called the Bonfire of the Vanities and a British MP that I knew at the time famously rephrased that as the ‘bonfire of the certainties.’ All of the reference points with which we’d lived for half a century and which had organized our diplomacy, our military strategy, our ideology, were like as many props that were suddenly pulled from us.

Sum up who the Native American: Cofachiqui was in one paragraph.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

On May 1, 1540, Hernando de Soto and his army approached the first major

town of Cofitachequi, one of the South's wealthiest and most storied Native

chiefdoms. The Spaniards had conceived of this journey many months earlier

when Native Floridians told them of a chiefdom rich in silver and gold and

ruled by a powerful woman. Such riches were the expedition's raison detre; conquistador Hernando de Soto, veteran of Pizarro's ruthless campaign against the

Incas, was willing to go to any length to secure even greater wealth and fame.

Marching northeast from peninsular Florida, the expedition had endured arduous travel, intense hunger, and bellicose Native warriors. After traversing an

uninhabited area that stretched from the Oconee River in modern central Georgia to the Congaree River in South Carolina, the expedition reached Hymahi,

the first village subject to Cofitachequi. Perhaps seeking to protect their chief,

the people of Hymahi refused to tell the Spaniards the way to Cofitachequi, so

de Soto's men captured several of them. De Soto ordered his soldiers to burn

~e captives alive one by one until someone disclosed Cofitachequi's location.

Finally, a villager relented, and others informed the Spaniards that the chief was

aware of their presence and awaited their arrival.'

Japan's reason for expansion was...

UNO [17]

Answer:

Adolf Hitler, llamado también Adolfo Hitler en algunos países hispanos (Braunau am Inn, Linz, Alta Austria, Imperio austrohúngaro; 20 de abril de 1889 - Berlín; 30 de abril de 1945), fue un político, militar y dictador alemán de origen austríaco

Explanation:

El Imperio romano (latín: Imperium Romanum) fue el tercer periodo de civilización romana en la Antigüedad clásica, posterior a la República romana y caracterizado por una forma de gobierno autocrática. El nacimiento del Imperio viene precedido por la expansión de su capital, Roma, que extendió su control en torno al mar Mediterráneo. Bajo la etapa imperial los dominios de Roma siguieron aumentando hasta llegar a su máxima extensión durante el reinado de Trajano, momento en que abarcaba desde el océano Atlántico al oeste hasta las orillas del mar Caspio, el mar Rojo y el golfo Pérsico al este, y desde el desierto del Sahara al sur hasta las tierras boscosas a orillas de los ríos Rin y Danubio y la frontera con Caledonia al norte. Su superficie máxima estimada sería de unos 5 millones de km².

Era abril de 1917 y Washington le había declarado la guerra a Alemania, en lo que fue su implicación formal en la Primera Guerra Mundial.

En fotos: la Primera Guerra Mundial también se combatió con afiches

Como una estrategia para atraer la atención de futuros soldados, el ilustrador James Montgomery Flagg tuvo la tarea de crear un afiche que fuese lo suficientemente efectivo en su mensaje.

Así fue como dibujó a un hombre canoso, con una larga chiva y el ceño fruncido que apuntaba con el dedo.
