Answer:Battle of Kadesh, (1275 BC), major battle between the Egyptians under Ramses II and the Hittites under Muwatallis, in Syria, southwest of Ḥimṣ, on the Orontes River. In one of the world’s largest chariot battles, fought beside the Orontes River, Pharaoh Ramses II sought to wrest Syria from the Hittites and recapture the Hittite-held city of Kadesh. There was a day of carnage as some 5,000 chariots charged into the fray, but no outright victor. The battle led to the world’s first recorded peace treaty.

Resolved to pursue the expansionist policy introduced by his father, Seti I, Ramses invaded Hittite territories in Palestine and pushed on into Syria. Near the Orontes River, his soldiers captured two men who said they were deserters from the Hittite force, which now lay some way off, outside Aleppo. This was reassuring, since the impetuous pharaoh had pushed well ahead of his main army with an advance guard of 20,000 infantry and 2,000 chariots. Unfortunately, the "deserters" were loyal agents of his enemy. Led by their High Prince, Muwatallis, the Hittites were at hand—with 40,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 chariots—and swiftly attacked. Their heavy, three-horse chariots smashed into the Egyptian vanguard, scattering its lighter chariots and the ranks behind. An easy victory seemed assured, and the Hittites dropped their guard and set about plundering their fallen enemy. Calm and determined, Ramses quickly remarshalled his men and launched a counterattack.

With their shock advantage gone, the Hittite chariots seemed slow and ungainly; the lighter Egyptian vehicles outmaneuvered them with ease. Ramses, bold and decisive, managed to pluck from the jaws of defeat if not victory, then at least an honorable draw. Both sides claimed Kadesh as a triumph, and Ramses had his temples festooned with celebratory reliefs. In truth, the outcome was inconclusive. So much so that, fifteen years later, the two sides returned to Kadesh to agree to a nonaggression pact—the first known example in history.

Why was slavery a paradox in the United States? Why did most blacks not want to go to Africa during the colonization movement? W
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

Slavery in the United States was a paradox because it was stated in the constitution that all men are created equal, yet the same document contradicted it and there were laws such as the Virginia law passed in October 1705, stating that if a master was to kill a slave who was undergoing “correction,” it would not be considered a crime.

The Back-to-Africa Movement: also known as black Zionism or colonization movement was the the view that Americans of African ancestry should return to Africa. It failed woefully as most black Americans did not want to return to Africa. This is most likely because they didn't know the homelands of their ancestors and were not sure where to begin(afraid of starting afresh) or what the "strange land" of Africa held for them.

the Missouri compromise tried to achieve a balance of power between slave states and free states in Congress. It made Missouri a slave state and Maine a free state

The North was becoming more urban and industrial as there was the increase in population with new immigrants. The South started to lose its power in Congress.

John C. Calhoun was a South Carolina senator and was known to utilize the argument of states' rights to protect slavery in the Nullification Crisis of 1832-1833.

States' rights in American refers to the political powers that reserved only/exclusive to the U.S. state governments rather than the federal government as defined by the United States Constitution.

Secession: this is the act of withdrawing from a country or territory or state to form another government(country or territory). Advocates of secession are known as disunionists.

To avoid dissolution of the Union by appeasing both sides on the slavery issue. This is because the threat of dissolution was mainly founded on outstanding slavery issues and tension that would eventually bring about the civil war.
