Diffrences between local measurment and standard measurment​

History
2 answers:
umka21 [38]3 years ago

In antiquity, systems of measurement were defined locally: the different units might be defined independently according to the length of a king's thumb or the size of his foot, the length of stride, the length of arm, or maybe the weight of water in a keg of specific size, perhaps itself defined in hands and knuckles.

Systems of Measurement: there are two main systems of measurement in the world: the Metric (or decimal) system and the US standard system. ... The US Standard system uses units that have no predictable relationship to each other. For example, there are 2 cups in a pint, but 4 quarts in a gallon.

Local measurements differ from standard measurement (metric) through the westernization of the metric system.

Basically, farmers a while ago decided that learning the metric system was too difficult so they created a new system that catered to them.

In fashion history ; vanity sizing is this odd way to size things that became popularized in and around the 90s. It messed up the way we size garments today. E.g. for pants (or bottoms) you’d measure your natural waist (usually just above your bellybutton) then your hips (usually the largest part of your body) then if your hip measurement is greater than 10 inches past your waist measurement your in good hands, this is standard. If you are more then that, you have a great butt that standard sizes simply cannot contain, add to your waist measurement.

Answer:

The fall of the Berlin Wall/end of the Cold War

Explanation:

On November 9, 1989, as the Cold War began to thaw across Eastern Europe, the spokesman for East Berlin’s Communist Party announced a change in his city’s relations with the West. Starting at midnight that day, he said, citizens of the GDR were free to cross the country’s borders. East and West Berliners flocked to the wall, drinking beer and champagne and chanting “Tor auf!” (“Open the gate!”). At midnight, they flooded through the checkpoints.

More than 2 million people from East Berlin visited West Berlin that weekend to participate in a celebration that was, one journalist wrote, “the greatest street party in the history of the world.” People used hammers and picks to knock away chunks of the wall–they became known as “mauerspechte,” or “wall woodpeckers”—while cranes and bulldozers pulled down section after section. Soon the wall was gone and Berlin was united for the first time since 1945. “Only today,” one Berliner spray-painted on a piece of the wall, “is the war really over.”

As Mikhail Gorbachev, create a list of things he had to do as the 7th leader of the Soviet Union.
tamaranim1 [39]
“Society was liberalized, and Gorbachev sought détente with the USA so as to be able to transfer funding from defense to civil society. He declared that he would not support Communist regimes in other countries if their peoples were opposed to them. He thus started a chain reaction which led to the fall of communism in Europe.”
