History

Alexxx [7]3 years ago

Explanation:

There was annual flooding, which was vital to agriculture because it deposited a new layer of nutrient-rich soil each year. In years when the Nile did not flood, the nutrient level in the soil was seriously depleted, and the chance of food shortages increased greatly. Food supplies had political effects, as well, and periods of drought probably contributed to the decline of Egyptian political unity at the ends of both the Old and Middle Kingdoms. After political unification, divine kingship, or the idea that a political ruler held his power by favor of a god or gods—or that he was a living incarnation of a god—became firmly established in Egypt. For example, in the mythology that developed around unification, Narmer was portrayed as Horus, a god of Lower Egypt, where Narmer originally ruled. He conquered Set, a god of Upper Egypt. This mythologized version of actual political events added legitimacy to the king’s rule. The use of hieroglyphics—a form of writing that used images to express sounds and meanings—likely began in this period. As the Egyptian state grew in power and influence, it was better able to mobilize resources for large-scale projects and required better methods of record-keeping to organize and manage an increasingly large state. During the Middle Kingdom, Egyptians began to write literature, as well. Some writing was preserved on stone or clay, and some was preserved on papyrus, a paper-like product made from reed fiber. Papyrus is very fragile, but due to the hot and dry climate of Egypt, a few papyrus documents have survived. Hieroglyphic writing also became an important tool for historians studying ancient Egypt once it was translated in the early 1800s.

How did Russia perceive the Truman doctrine and marshall plan?
monitta

Answer:In early 1947, Britain, France, and the United States unsuccessfully attempted to reach an agreement with the Soviet Union for a plan envisioning an economically self-sufficient Germany.

In June 1947, in accordance with the Truman Doctrine, the United States enacted the Marshall Plan, a pledge of economic assistance for all European countries willing to participate, including the Soviet Union.

The years 1948 to 1952 saw the fastest period of growth in European history; industrial production increased by 35%, some of which has been attributed to the Marshall Plan aid.

The Soviet Union refused the aid because Stalin believed that economic integration with the West would allow Eastern Bloc countries to escape Soviet control.

The MOST LIKELY result of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was A) the abolition of poll taxes was overturned. B) literacy tests wer
viva [34]
  • The correct answer is C) The Federal government would be allowed to oversee elections.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was created in response to a tremendous irregularity happening in the United States during the time. In many states of the country there were measurements being taken that undermined the right to vote of African-Americans in spite of the existence of the 15th amendment. <u>This act came to invalidate any sort of devices that were being used to prevent them from voting</u>, such were as absurd as a literacy test or officers asking African-American men to recite the entire Constitution to prove they were capable of voting.<u> When the rest of the country and the federal government became aware of this situation due to some terrible incidents that were exposed, President Johnson signed the bill in the presence of Martin Luther King and other important civil rights leaders on August 6th, 1965.</u>
