Western European countries integrated their economies after 1945 by the French proposing that the nations that produced most of Western Europe's steel and coal unite their facilities. In 1952, France, West Germany, Italy, and the Low Countries formed the European Coal and Steel Community. A central authority regulated production and prices, and members not charge each other tariffs on coal and steel.
Alexander III of Macedon went east and south in his conquests because of few reasons. The Greeks were already conquered by his father, but he needed to secure his authority there so he made a few big blows for them, especially because the Greeks despised the fact that the Macedonians conquered them.
The most advanced civilizations were on the east, and also they were the most powerful, with the Persian Empire being at the top at that time. Knowing that in order to be able to create a large empire he needs to eliminate the main threat, Alexander went for the Persians and managed to win.
In the south, Egypt was the traditional place of civilization, prosperity, and it had a well established reputation, so Alexander went for it and took it under his control.
He had plans to go westwards towards Rome, but since Rome was nothing special at that time, neither in cultural manner nor in militaristic one, he went for what was more important.
Answer:
Enslaved people in cities often kept some of their wages, while enslaved people on plantations never saw any of the money they made for their owners.
Explanation:
In America, the settlement of the Europeans brought slavery and "bound laborers." These laborers were owned by the masters who indulged them in domestic, farming, and commercial laboring. They were not paid and were neither given any equal rights. Plantation laborers were indulged in plantation fields. They were not treated with any human dignity. They were beaten, punished, and even sold without their consent. In the urban areas, the definition of slavery was different from that of the plantation fields. The laborers were employed in the shops and they had some freedom as compared to the farm slaves. They enjoyed some escape in the urban areas from the harshness of the masters.
