serg [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Social: ancient civilizations were very hierarchical, organized in castes. Social mobility was very difficult, this means that if a person was born poor, it was very unlikely for this person to become wealthy later in life.

Political: most ancient civilizations were monarchies, or dictatorships. Republics were essentially non-existant. That is to say that they were ruled by a single powerful man like a pharaoh, or a few people, who had no almost no limits to their power, and who were not elected by the people. Power was instead, hereditary.

Economic: all of these civilizations had an economy that was based on agriculture, because agriculture was the activity that allowed civilization to emerge in first place. The most valauble resource was  land, and land was often monopolized by a few powerful individuals, the same people who had political power.

World war 2
kramer

Based on the information in the excerpt, the United States brought Nazi leaders to military tribunals in Germany AFTER the end of World War II. <em>(a)</em>

BUT ... To our country's lasting shame, the horrors being inflicted on racially-selected segments of Germany's civilian population were well known to the US DURING the war, but our government did little or nothing to impede this barbaric activity and preserve civilian lives.  

For example, the railroad tracks that guided the cattle-cars full of Jews to their torture, starvation, and death at Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, and Bergen-Belsen could have been disabled with a few well-placed bombs, easily, cheaply, and with minimal military risk.  But they were not.

The ovens in the concentration camps, or the camps themselves, could have been rendered operationally useless with a few well-placed bombs, easily, cheaply, and with minimal military risk.  But they were not.
