<span>In the Arab world, which was the first to import large numbers of slaves from Africa, the slave traffic was cosmopolitan. Slaves of all types were sold in open bazaars. The Arabs played an important role as middlemen in the trans-atlantic slave trade, and research data suggest that between the 7th and the 19th centuries, they transported more than 14 million black slaves across the Sahara and the Red Sea, as many or more than were shipped to the Americas, depending on the estimates for the transatlantic slave trade.</span>
The inescapable fact that stuck in my craw was: My people had sold me ... . My own people had exterminated whole nations and torn families apart for a profit before the strangers got their chance at a cut. It was a sobering thought. It impressed upon me the universal nature of greed." And we might add, the universal nature of slavery.
African kings were willing to provide a steady flow of captives, who they said were criminals or prisoners of war doomed for execution. Many were not, but this did not prevent traders posing as philanthropists who were rescuing the Africans from death and offering them a better and more productive life.
When France and Britain outlawed slavery in their territories in the early 19th Century, African chiefs who had grown rich and powerful off the slave trade sent protest delegations to Paris and London. Britain abolished the slave trade and slavery itself against fierce opposition from West African and Arab traders.The slave trade<span>. </span>The African state that played a very active and profitable role<span> in the translantic slave was? The Kingdom on Dahomey.

Answer: - It can be corrupt. It is often ineffective.
Explanation: - It can be corrupt. (True, lots of nepotism, fake positions, privileges, exorbitant salaries for members of its upper management. Accusations of crime by UN troops).
- It is often ineffective. (Yes and no. It is ineffective because it has no military enforcing force or a system of economic sanctions to force rogue states to comply with its values. However, it is a formidable means of political and public pressure and only for that is better than nothing at all).
- It limits US sovereignty. This is only true if the US let the UN do such thing (it has never happened). The US invaded Panama without a UN mandate. It invaded Vietnam without a UN mandate. It invaded Iraq in 2003 without a UN mandate. China invaded and annexed Tibet in the 1950s and the UN was never able to stop it. Russia invaded several countries and the UN was able to do nothing about it.
- It restricts US foreign policy. Not really, the US is one of the founding Security Council members and can easily ply the UN by refusing to pay its yearly contribution (already happening).
- It includes a small number of nations. (False, most nations on Earth are part of the UN).
- It focuses only on issues related to trade. (False, it focuses on any issue that is relevant to the planet’s welfare).
1. Answer:
- W ramach obrony Hitler planował zaatakować sąsiednie kraje. Mając około 1,5 miliona żołnierzy, postanowił zacząć od pierwszego ataku na Polskę. Granica około 1750 mil była kontrolowana przez armię niemiecką.
- Zbombardowali wiele lotnisk w Polsce i uniemożliwili innemu krajowi ingerowanie w ich praktyki wojenne. Podpisali pakt z ZSRR. W którym oba kraje potajemnie postanowiły podzielić Polskę na dwie części.
- Niemcy wygrały wojnę i zajęły Polskę. Później postanowili zaatakować Danię, Norwegię, Belgię, Francję, Grecję,
- W wyniku tego spustoszenia Wielka Brytania i Francja połączyły ręce, aby walczyć z Niemcami i powstrzymać Hitlera.
2. Answer:
Hilter chciał etnicznie oczyścić Europę Wschodnią. Chciał, aby kraje te zostały skolonizowane przez Niemców. Nie ujawnił tego jednak otwarcie, dlatego stosując różne taktyki zainicjował wojnę z Polską. Miał agresywną politykę zagraniczną. Wkrótce po wygranej z Polską rozpoczął kampanię przeciwko Żydom i przedstawił światu straszne dni holokaustu.
<u>Kiedy League of Nation nie powstrzymała go przed pójściem dalej na wojnę, ówcześni politycy wpadli na nowy pomysł ułaskawienia Hitlera. Pozornie dałoby to Hitlerowi to, czego chce, i przestałby dalej wzmacniać wojnę.</u>
Answer:
A: The coupon was for 20% off
B: The price without a coupon is $14.73
C: Your friend can afford a small pizza
Explanation:
I knew for A that it was 20% off because 20% of $16.25 is $3.25 and if you were to add $3.25 to $13 it would equal the normal price of $16.25
I knew for B that it was $14.73 without a coupon because $10.31 is 70% of $14.73
I knew for C that it was a small pizza because 15% off of $11.60 is $9.86 and since she only has %10 that is the biggest pizza that she can buy
The impact that location of resources has on countries and their economies around the globe is that of supply and demand. If a country is lacking in a resource, let's say steel, yet the demand for steel in that country is high then the economies cycle breaks and the government must spend more money to have the product imported in. They have to do this in order to keep the process of supply and demand, if there is no steel, then there is no demand and this part of the economy crumbles.
