Answer:

Explanation:

Ultimately the Crusades failed to create the Holy Land that was part of Christendom, but in the process they changed the western world forever.

Rather than defeating the Muslims, the Crusades provoked a Muslim backlash. In 1453, the Turks captured Constantinople and by 1529 had conquered south-eastern Europe, including Hungary, and were besieging Vienna.

The Crusaders learned more about warfare – better castle design and gunpowder.

Muslim scholars taught European scholars many things about science and medicine. The number system they used (1, 2, 3, 4), based on place value, was more straightforward than Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV) and made calculations easier to do. The use of '0' in Arabic enabled the early scentists of the Renaissance to develop the ideas of the Arabic and Ancient Greek astronomers. We still use this numeric system today.

Western Europeans learned that the Muslim world stretched to India and traded with China.

Trade increase, whilst Europeans also brought back knowledge about plants, irrigation and the breeding of animals.

Western Europeans brought back many goods, such as lemons, apricots, sugar, silk and cotton and spices used in cooking.

Not all the Crusaders went home after fighting the Muslims. Many of them who went to the Holy Land liked it so much that they stayed and adopted a Middle Eastern way of life.

The legacy of the Crusades on England

The Crusades led to the emergence of military and religious orders which were founded during the First and the Second Crusades. Some of them have become well known as the subjects of video games such as 'Assassin’s Creed'. The most famous one is the Knights Templar. These knights had the job of protecting the wealth of the pilgrims as they travelled. They became rich themselves and helped lay down the principles of modern international banking.

The Knights of St John were founded in 1023 to help ill or injured pilgrims. This aspect of its work remains in the St John Ambulance, which is connected to the Order of St John.

The Crusades were expensive, and led to higher taxes at home. For example, when Richard I was taken hostage by another Christian ruler in 1192, his father Henry II raised a 'Saladin Tithe' (a tax) to pay the ransom to have him released in 1194.

Many men left home for years neglecting their lands and people, leading to legends involving Richard the Lionheart and Robin Hood.

Richard I (The Lionheart).

What were the positive and negative consequences of prohibition?
makkiz [27]
Negative: The Noble Experiment led to increased use of illegal drugs. Bootleg alcohol was sometimes toxic and increasingly expensive. This led many drinkers to switch to opium, cocaine, hair tonic, sterno or “liquid heat,” and other dangerous substances. Thus, Prohibition popularized the use of illegal drugs.
Positive: Wife beating and lack of family support decreased 82%
Drunkenness decreased 55.3%
Assault decreased 53.1%
Vagrancy decreased 52.8%
Disorderly conduct decreased 51.5%
Delinquency decreased 50.0%
Deaths due to cirrhosis decreased 50.0%

The questions
n200080 [17]

The Soviets viewed the post war world (WWII) with complete disdain and distrust, particularly from the standpoint of the other emerging global power in the form of the United States. This is essentially stated within the Part 1(a), quote:

<em>USSR still lives in antagonistic "capitalist encirclement" with which in the long run there can be no permanent peaceful coexistence.</em>

After all, the USSR and satellite countries as well as allies closely followed the policy of Communism, which upheld a totalitarian government with the benefits bar none but equalized to each and every citizen. On the other hand, the view of the United States and Capitalism was that of the oppression of the middle class and lower class, in that the rich continues to get richer, while the poor stay poor (a classic example is the viewpoints of the Democratic Party today).

In accordance, the soviets push for a global expansion to take all of the world under the wings of Communism, by first creating a buffer statehood using the eastern European nation bloc (known as the Iron Curtain), and to ally themselves with other communist countries across the world, (including, but not limited too, Venezuela, Cuba, China, North Vietnam, North Korea, etc).

With a globalistic expansion in mind, these plans are extremely important on the developments of a cold war, particularly with the United State's policy of containment in place. After all, when a unstoppable force meets a unmovable object, the two will clash. Examples of this can be found through out both country's policies, including their policy towards the Korean War, Vietnam War, the Cuban missile crisis, etc. With each other at opposite ends, yet withholding their will to destroy the entire world, the superpowers pursued a cold war with the help of proxy wars.

Of course, the ending of these wars can be justified by how the world is viewed today. The United States became the sole world power, and the USSR disintegrated into individual sovereign states. This is one of the more major examples of the failure of Communism, and that of the virtues of Capitalism.
