Independent city states developed in Ancient Greece because of all of the islands of the country. With the whole nation divided into over a hundred sections by vast amounts of water, they were unable to make a single, united government. <span />

More than 350,000 African Americans served in segregated units during World War I, mostly as support troops. Several units saw action alongside French soldiers fighting against the Germans, and 171 African Americans were awarded the French Legion of Honor.
WWII
Despite a high enlistment rate in the U.S. Army, African Americans were not treated equally. At parades, church services, in transportation and canteens the races were kept separate. A quota of only 48 nurses was set for African-American women, and the women were segregated from white nurses and white soldiers for much of the war. Eventually more black nurses enlisted. They were assigned to care for black soldiers. Black nurses were integrated into everyday life with their white colleagues. The first African-American woman sworn into the Navy Nurse Corps was Phyllis Mae Dailey, a Columbia University student from New York. She was the first of only four African-American women to serve as a Navy nurse during World War II.
Gladiators were usually slaves, criminals, or prisoners of war—the Romans knew that the best way to orchestrate a fight to the death was to use men who have nothing to lose.

Answer:
There is a lot of debate about how much war and medicine have influenced each other. Sometimes war adds to medical knowledge by drawing attention to a particular injury, such as the loss of a limb. Military medicine has also influenced how medicine is done. But sometimes innovations in military medicine result in better ways to treat an injury or advance fields of medicine, such as plastic surgery, psychiatry and emergency medicine. Triage, the system of prioritising multiple casualties, has been adopted for all emergency medicine ever since the First World War.
For some people, the physical and mental damage caused by war lasts a lifetime. Medical teams have had to develop methods to help them adjust to living with disability and illness. The young men who signed up to fight in 1914 had little preparation or support for dealing with the stress and trauma of modern warfare. Some refused to fight and were mistakenly accused of cowardice. During the First World War, 309 British soldiers were executed, many of whom are now believed to have had mental health conditions at the time.
Explanation:
"O Little Town of Bethehem" is a familiar Christmas hymn about the birth of Jesus Christ. But the number of Christians in Bethlehem itself has been getting littler and littler as the Christian community there and elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa has faced pressures from Islamist movements.
In 1950, about 85% of Bethlehem's residents were Christian. By 2016, the Christian presence in Bethlehem had dropped to 12% -- or only about 11,000 persons.
