History

Answer:

• To protect herself from unsolicited sexual advances.

• It was more suitable for battle

Explanation:

This relates to Joan of Arc who was tried and convicted of cross-dressing and burnt at the stake after being captured by pro-English forces in the Hundred Years War.

One reason she dressed as a man would may have been because she did not want to be approached by the men she was surrounded by as she was mostly surrounded by men from the time she led French forces to the time she was in prison.

She wanted her chastity protected and reasoned that if the men thought of her as less of a woman, they wouldn't approach or force themselves on her.

Another reason may have been the mobility provided by men's clothing in battle. Joan led the French armies in a number of battles and so needed to be mobile and men's clothing gave her that mobility.

nadezda [96]
<span>These Native American tribes had the misfortune of being some of the first to come into close contact with European settlers, as they lived in the New England colony area, this led them to be ravaged by illnesses such as smallpox and measles. The Pequot War was the final turning point when the war resulted in the near extinction of the Pequots. The other tribes would began to experience the same issues as European settlers began to expand beyond territories agreed upon in the various treaties with the tribes, resulting in conflicts with these tribes.</span>

How were the motivations of the participants in the Greco-Persian Wars different?
mylen [45]

The Greco-Persian Wars were actually two independent conflicts. The first conflict happened in 490 BCE. The second conflict occurred between 480 and 479 BCE.

<h3>How were the motivations of the participants in the Greco-Persian Wars different?</h3>

There was not enough agriculture in Greece to accommodate a big population due to its extensive hilly terrain. As a result, several city-states would send a portion of their populace to establish colonies along the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea. Some of these colonies were established in Ionia, on the western coast of Asia Minor (today's Turkey). Lydia, a nearby regional power to the east, finally seized control of the Ionian colonies.

Lydia was captured by the Persians as they grew in power to the west. Ionia followed suit, so did they. Ionia, however, proved to be very challenging for the Persians to govern because the local Greek population bitterly resented Persian rule. In 499 BCE, the Ionians rose up in opposition to Persian rule. In their battle with the Persians, the Ionians put up a fierce fight and were difficult to subdue. The Ionians asked for assistance from the other Greek city-states, which only made Persia's issues worse. In response to their cries for assistance, Athens and Eretria dispatched a number of ships and soldiers to aid their uprising in 498 BCE. In the end, despite their assistance, the Ionians were subdued in 493 BCE. However, Darius I, the Persian monarch, was extremely incensed by it.
