History

Anika [276]2 years ago

Answer:

A) The Mauryan Empire expanded over nearly the entire region of what is now modern day India. Starting with Chandragupta and ending with his grandson Ashoka, the empire was expanded over a span roughly a hundred years. This was not an easy task because of the size of the land to be conquered. The area that is now known to be modern day India, is a peninsula. The Arabian Sea borders the land on the west, the Indian ocean borders it to the south and the Bay of Bengal borders it to the east. The Himalaya Mountains separated the rest of east Asia, including China, from the Mauryan Empire. The Hindu Kush Mountains to the north west of the Mauryan Empire separated it from the rest of the Middle East. The monsoon cycle effected the Mauryan Empire as well. High rainfall often lead to reoccurring floods and in the winter, especially inland, there was a lack of rainfall and that lead to droughts. Needless to say, it was hard to sustain a surplus of agriculture throughout the year. The location was still beneficial despite this. Trade over sea to east Asia flourished. the size of the subcontinent of India lead to the development of several languages in different and separate regions of the land. This is the reason why the development of the Mauryan Empire was is so important in history.  That the empire existed is a testament to the strength of the rulers at the time to unify such a vast region.

B) There isn't much of a difference in geography between the Mauryan and the Gupta empires as the Gupta Empire was the predecessor of the Mauryan. This meant that the Gupta empire inherited the land owned by the Mauryan Empire. One obvious difference between the two empires is that the Gupta  Empire was smaller that the Mauryan. The Gupta Empire is located in the northern region of the subcontinent underneath the Himalayan and Hindu Kush mountains. The people of the Gupta Empire where better adapted to the Monsoon cycle  by building high houses to accommodate the floods. Because of this they were able to flourish agriculturally, boasting their economy.

What three things helped the tang dynasty to have a very successful foreign trade system
Darina [25.2K]
The three things that helped the Tang Dynasty was:

Silk road, trading colonies and shipbuilind.

The silk road was a trading routes connecting the East and West. 

The trading colonies dealt with cotton, rice, tobacco, indigo (dye), lumber, furs, and farm products; that is what most of the people traded back in the tang dynasty. They will trade these things for food, clothing, books, medicine and sometime homes. 

The shipbuilding made a huge part because the people would build ships to trade things to different lands. Usually when they trade more things to different lands they'll get more money. 

Hope this helped :)

Which immigrants’ experiences reflected the message of The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus and which did not?
Brrunno [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

When the Statue of Liberty was finished in 1886, it was an image of fellowship with France, and a festival of big government and the finish of American subjugation. It was not, in any case, the image of welcome to the worlds drained and clustered masses that it is today.

To de Laboulaye, the finish of American subjugation was the last advance in the US turning into a reference point of majority rules system to the world, clarifies George Tselos, head documenter for the statue and neighboring Ellis Island.
