Answer:

Social Contribution: The social hierarchy of the Incas was broken down into four different groups. These groups included the Sapa Inca, who was the emperor at the top of the hierarchy. He owned and controlled everything in the Inca empire and was believed to be related to the sun god. Next came the royal family, which included the queen and relatives of the Sapa Inca. Third was the nobility, which included distant relatives of the royal family or the highly educated, and last was the ayllu which included everyone else. Because the Sapa Inca owned and controlled everything, no trading outside the Inca empire was necessary. Everything needing to be done in the empire was completed through ‘tributes' or free labor from everyone from the ages of fifteen through fifty.

Political Contribution: There were about 20 million people living in

the Inca Empire at its peak in the 1400s. Its capital city was Cuzco,

which is located in what know today as Peru. Cuzco was located at

the point where each of the empire’s four districts came together.

Each district was governed by someone from emperor’s family. Over

time, several emperors conquered more territory and the

government was set up for all people to pay taxes or ‘tributes’ to

make sure the military or any social needs like roads were managed

through free labor for the empire.

Religious Contribution: The Incas worshipped many gods and believed that

their principal god, Viracocha, created all life. Each god also represented

something in nature such as Inti, the sun god, who they thought was the most

powerful god. The Inca people also respected their ancestors by mummifying

them. Crops and pieces and cloth were sometimes burned as offerings and

llamas were sacrificed to the Gods, but they didn’t practice human sacrifice

except when there was a major crisis.

Intellectual Contribution: While the Incas did

not use written language, they did use a complex math and

communication system of colored ropes called quipu. Not many

people could read the quipu strings, but they were a very

effective way of both math and communicating across the

empire. The Incas also used coca plant leaves as a powerful drug

in medicine.

Technological Contribution: The Incas used very advanced forms

of terracing to farm in the high hills. They were excellent stone workers and could build walls of

stone for the terraces that did not require any mortar. The Incas

were very skilled metalworkers. They worked with copper, tin,

bronze, silver, and gold which they also learned to blend

together to form metal alloys which could then be made into

weapons and tools.

Economical Contribution: Macchu Picchu was built high in the

mountains and was able to survive earthquakes because of the

excellent stonework. The Incan Empire was very spread out and

the geography varied widely so the Incas to create a huge

system of 14,000 miles of roads through mountains and

deserts. All roads led through the capital city of Cuzco. These

roads greatly helped their economy because they used them to

communicate, move their armies to conquer neighbors, and

move supplies around where and when they were needed. The

Incas even built rope bridges across deep rivers, cut steps into

steep slopes, and tunnels through mountains. Economic growth

would never have been possible without them.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Franklin Roosevelt is the correct answer.

The Executive order 9066 was issued by President Roosevelt during the World War ll in febuary 1942. It granted the secretary of war the power to declare any area as military area and relocate the people living there. The order was justified owning the reason of protection against esponage and natioal defence. Due to Pear Harbour attack suspicion fell on Japenese Americans, that is why mostly these people were relocated in Western United Sates. They were alowed to carry only whatever they could carry at the moment and rest of their assets were seized by the US Department of Treasury.

What could the US government have done to improve the economy in European nations before the Great Depression
atroni [7]

Answer:

They could have decreased protectionism. Protectionism means that they limited free trade between nations and restricted trade of foreign goods. Protectionism is widely accepted as maybe the biggest reason for the development of the Great Depression and thus if the US had decreased it, it most likely would not have happened at all.
