Why might Great Britain’s colonies have contributed to the start of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain?

History
1 answer:
Novay_Z [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The colonies provided two things: some raw materials that represented a influx of capital for British entrepreneurs and industrialists to invest, and more importantly, provided one of the many markets that demanded the industrial goods that Britain produced.

On the other hand, the colonies did not provide much direct raw materials since most of the raw materials were available in Britain, mainly coal, which was by far, the main source of fuel. The labor force was also provided by British people, except for a few migrants.

Write a paragraph using the words to describe Athens and Sparta.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

  • Sparta was a warrior society in ancient Greece that reached the height of its power after defeating rival city-state Athens in the Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.). Spartan culture was centered on loyalty to the state and military service. At age 7, Spartan boys entered a rigorous state-sponsored education, military training and socialization program. Known as the Agoge, the system emphasized duty, discipline and endurance. Although Spartan women were not active in the military, they were educated and enjoyed more status and freedom than other Greek women. Because Spartan men were professional soldiers, all manual labor was done by a slave class, the Helots. Despite their military prowess, the Spartans’ dominance was short-lived: In 371 B.C., they were defeated by Thebes at the Battle of Leuctra, and their empire went into a long period of decline.

Classical Athens was a powerful city-state. It was a centre for the arts, learning and philosophy, and the home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. It is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy , largely because of its cultural and political impact on the European continent—particularly Ancient Rome. In modern times, Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis and central to economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life in Greece. In 2021, Athens' urban area hosted more than three and a half million people, which is around 35% of the entire population of Greece.

Athens is a Beta global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network , and is one of the biggest economic centers in Southeastern Europe. It also has a large financial sector, and its port Piraeus is both the largest passenger port in Europe , and the second largest in the world.

The Municipality of Athens (also City of Athens), which actually constitutes a small administrative unit of the entire city, had a population of 664,046 (in 2011) within its official limits, and a land area of 38.96 km2 (15.04 sq mi) .The Athens Urban Area or Greater Athens extends beyond its administrative municipal city limits, with a population of 3,090,508 (in 2011) over an area of 412 km2 (159 sq mi) . According to Eurostat in 2011, the functional urban area of Athens was the 9th most populous in the European Union (the 6th most populous capital city of the EU), with a population of 3.8 million people. Athens is also the southernmost capital on the European mainland and the warmest major city in Europe.

Images like this appeared in newspapers across America in the days following the sinking.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The image shown is not a reliable source. It is not a photograph taken of the event, and it is not a painting created by someone who witnessed the event. The image can be considered yellow journalism because it is sensational and exaggerated. The explosion did not likely cause bodies to fly in the air or create a large fireball, as shown here. The image was created to make the American public angry about the explosion, not to show what actually happened.
