How might the Americas have been different if the Spanish had not colonized there?
laila [671]

There are a couple of differences:

1) The Americas (especially Latin America), will not have Roman Catholic influences in the area, and will not have it as their state religion.

2) The land will keep most of it's natural wealth, though it may not be used in great quantities as before.

3) Population will not take a hit, and will continue to grow, as European diseases are not spread to them. However, if trading occurs between the north-eastern tribes all the way down to Central America, they will still be exposed to diseases carried by the French and British.

4) They may not be exposed to the usage of firearms as quickly, which may lead to their demise to their native enemies. Firearms, while they took very long to reload back then, was a symbol of power and was used more as a shock then as a weapon (until the mini-ball, repeater, and other upgrades to the rifle came).

5) The other way to look at it is that another European Power may take over those lands. The first of which is Portugal, whose lands were very near the Spanish territory. The next in line would be France, which borders the Spanish territories, and than Britain.

How did the development of writing change the societies of ancient Mesopotamia and,specifically, the lives of their peoples? Cou
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In most places, writing started about the same time ancient civilizations emerged from hunter-gatherer communities, probably as a way to keep track of the new concept of "property," such as animals, grain supplies or land.

By 3000 B.C. in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq), and then soon after in Egypt, and by 1500 B.C. in China, people were scribbling, sketching and telling their world about their culture in a very permanent way.

When memory failed

When ancient Mesopotamians started settling down onto farms surrounding the first cities, life became a bit more complicated. Agriculture required expertise and detailed recordkeeping, two elements that led directly to the invention of writing, historians say.

The first examples of writing were pictograms used by temple officials to keep track of the inflows and outflows of the city's grain and animal stores which, in the bigger Sumerian urban centers such as Ur, were big enough to make counting by memory unreliable.

Officials began using standardized symbols — rather than, say, an actual picture of a goat — to represent commodities, scratched into soft clay tablets with a pointed reed that had been cut into a wedge shape. Archaeologists call this first writing "cuneiform," from the Latin "cuneus," meaning wedge.

The system developed quickly to incorporate signs that represented sounds, and soon all of Mesopotamia was taking notes, making to-do lists and (presumably) writing love letters.

Egyptian writing — the famous hieroglyphics — developed independently not long thereafter, under similar circumstances, historians think.

A few thousand years later, as variations on the two systems spread throughout the region, the entire ancient world had writing schemes that vastly improved the efficiency of economies, the accountability of governments and, maybe most importantly to us, our understanding of the past.

Describe one way in which hideyoshi goals were similar to those of Louis XIV ?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Both were absolutist governors with total control of their countries

Explanation:

Now let's see each case.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was responsible to unify Japan in the 16th century. He put an end to the power of the feudal lords and acquired the political and military position becoming the main governor of Japan. To maintain power, Hideyoshi used the force and the threat, persecuting his enemies.  

Louis XIV name himself as The King Sun, and just like Hideyoshi, Louis XIV cumulated the political and social power, but in the case of him, the maintaining of the status quo was based on religion. This means that, according to Louis XIV, his power and influence came from God.
