Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

both roman empire and the roman republic had periods of instability and definitely caused their demise. they all lasted for the same amount of time. it will be difficult to ascertain which one is successful than the other. if we consider the extent of the roman empire and how it continued from byzantium this was after the collapsing of western empire then we will say that the empire was more successful than the republic.

roman republic came into conflict with the phoenicians after it controlled the italian peninsula which sooner spread to the mediterranean. roman won in the three punic wars and those who fought in the war were forced to abandon their farms and homes which were disrepair and the cost had been expensive. they lost their right to vote and sold all their firms to wealthy citizens. the result of it all was a civil war and later they became slave led by spartacus and it ended with private armies which were generally arising. among them was gaius julius caesar.

republic ruled for short time by triumvirate whereby sooner they collapsed and empire did not last more than the republic but their territorial gains were considered extensive while republic limited itself to mediterranean and peninsula.

What is a long term effect of the discovery of oil at Spindletop in 1901?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

It transitioned the economy of Texas from agricultural to industrial, because before, there were cattle ranges and mostly focused on the cotton and cattle industries. They would herd the cattle up to Kansas where cows would be shipped off to the East.

The cattle and cotton industry was very profitable most of the time, which led to them being the main attraction.

There were some people who thought, "Hey! Imma just start drilling for oil in some place that I just bought because why not!"

Then they hit oil and created a massive influx of profit, which led to other people thinking, "Hey! Deez people made a lotta dolla bills yall so Imma copy them!"

Finally, people started drilling for oil all over the place (even in their backyards) and transitioned the economy to oil and coal mining.

Even during WW2, miners were drilling for oil to power their fighting machines.
