Answer:

in the sixth century B.C., when the writer Epimenides lived, there was a plague which went all through all Greece. The Greeks felt that they more likely than not outraged one of their divine beings, so they started offering penances on raised areas to all their different bogus divine beings. When nothing worked they figured there should be a Divine being who they didn't think about whom they should by one way or another appease. So Epimenides thought of an arrangement. He delivered hungry sheep into the open country and educated men to follow the sheep to see where they would rests.

He accepted that since hungry sheep would not normally rests yet keep on touching, if the sheep were to rests it would be a sign from God that this spot was consecrated. At each spot, where the sheep tired and layed down, the Athenians constructed a special raised area and relinquished the sheep on it. A while later it is accepted the plague halted which they credited to this Unknown God tolerating the penance.

Explanation:

The Unknown God or Agnostos Theos is a Divine being referenced by the Christian Missionary Paul Areopagus discourse in Acts 17:23, that notwithstanding the twelve primary divine beings and the countless lesser gods, old Greeks loved a god they called "Agnostos Theos"; that is: "The Unknown God", which Norden called "Un-Greek". In Athens, there was a sanctuary explicitly committed to that god and regularly Athenians would swear "for the sake of The Unknown God"

<span>Executive Order 9066 clearly contradicts Theodore Roosevelt's statements about race, creed, color, or national origin. Because of the Executive Order 9066, Japanese Americans were relocated to Internment Camps through the War Relocation Authority. It was because Americans were fearful that Japanese Americans were still loyal to Japan during World War II and many Americans feared that they could be spies for the Japanese Empire. By placing them into Internment Camps we were able to keep tabs on them. During the 1980s, the government actually paid reparations to Japanese people that were still alive from the Internment Camps.</span>

Why were Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces called the electrical fuses of Vietnam?
RUDIKE [14]
The Vietnamese suffered Great Depression in the 1930s. This led to fall in the prices of rubber and rice, rise in rural debts, unemployment and rural uprisings. Since the provinces of Nghe An and Ha Tinh got the roughest end of this deal and had an old radical tradition, whenever the colonial system came under pressure, these regions were the first to rise up in rebellion. Hence, they were referred to 'electrical fuses' of Vietnam.

Do you agree with Sintoni's argument about the Vietnam war? Explain.
Tema [17]

Answer:

Yes, I agree with the argument of Sintoni's about the Vietnam war.

Explanation:

"Vietnam is a test of the American Spirit", these were the lines written by Sintoni in his last letter to his wife. Every war will be fought with not only weapons but also with the help of spirit. Spirit means courage, if you have a courage no one can defeat you in any war but if you have no courage you will lose the war even with advance weapons. So if the American has that spirit, we will win this war.
