Recently nasa has launched space probes to explore mars. why might mars have been chosen for these explorations?

nevsk [136]

Multiple factors were involved in the decision of exploration of Mars.
Mars is similar to Earth in size and it is the next planet. Moreover, evidence was present to suggest that liquid water existed, and may possibly still exist, on Mars. All of these factors led to the planet's exploration.

What influence did samurai customs and values have on the government and society of medieval Japan

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The samurai, members of a powerful military caste in feudal Japan, began as provincial warriors before rising to power in the 12th century with the beginning of the country’s first military dictatorship, known as the shogunate. As servants of the daimyos, or great lords, the samurai backed up the authority of the shogun and gave him power over the mikado (emperor). The samurai would dominate Japanese government and society until the Meiji Restoration of 1868 led to the abolition of the feudal system. Despite being deprived of their traditional privileges, many of the samurai would enter the elite ranks of politics and industry in modern Japan. More importantly, the traditional samurai code of honor, discipline and morality known as bushido–or “the way of the warrior”–was revived and made the basic code of conduct for much of Japanese society.

Early Samurai

During the Heian Period (794-1185), the samurai were the armed supporters of wealthy landowners–many of whom left the imperial court to seek their own fortunes after being shut out of power by the powerful Fujiwara clan. The word “samurai” roughly translates to “those who serve.” (Another, more general word for a warrior is “bushi,” from which bushido is derived; this word lacks the connotations of service to a master.)

How are the characteristics of nationalism and revolution related?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Nationalism is basically being super obsessed with your country. It's not patriotism though. Nationalism is extreme, like Hitler and Germany. It kind of makes you want to exclude other nations for the bettering of your own, wanting to go to war, etc. In the context of a revolution, it is a certain nation wanting independence. So, let's look at our answer options.

A) The nationalistic feelings in some regions led to increased industrialization.

Nationalism causes revolution and war, not industrialization. Innovation and invention is what would cause more industrialization. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

B) The urbanization in some regions was caused by the pride that some citizens felt for their nations.

This one doesn't make sense either. Loving your country doesn't cause you to build a bigger house. This is incorrect.

C) The imperialist laws that oppressed some regions were caused by political uprising.

Even if this one might be true, it isn't answering the question because it hasn't mentioned nationalism at all. Therefore, this is incorrect.

D) The political revolutions in some regions were caused by nationalistic feelings.

This one seems the most accurate. Feelings of nationalism definitely lead to political revolutions. In the American Revolution, many nationalists in Boston carried out political revolutions such as the Boston Tea Party. This all led to the American Revolution.

Therefore, the correct answer is D.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
