History

Answer: Devshirma and slavery have both similarities and differences.

Explanation:

The Ottomans practiced Devshirma as a forcible abduction of Christian boys into the elite Ottoman army ranks. These boys were taken from their families and were enlisted in the elite Ottoman military ranks. Slavery, in itself, is a violent process of alienating people for forced labor. If we look at these definitions, they are similar in themselves. A slave could get his freedom in certain situations, but he always remained a slave during the service.

On the other hand, officials in the Ottoman Empire who found themselves in the state under the means of devshirme could advance in the service. There were many examples when people who became residents of the Ottoman Empire came to the country's highest positions. The Grand Ottoman Vizier Mehmed Pasha Sokolović had just arrived in the Ottoman capital, Constantinople, with a devshirme. He advanced so much in the service that after the sultan, he was the second man of the bulky Ottoman Empire. The very title of Grand Vizier in the empire implied that position.

how were the changes that took place in russia as a result of world war 1 different from those that took place in western europe
fenix001 [56]

Russia was unprepared for the start of World War I. Nine years earlier it was defeated in the cap with Japan. There have been tensions over the social reforms demanded by the workers and the starving people. Despite the unsatisfactory status, the Russian people went to war. The start was not successful for Russia, there was not enough food and rifles. During 1916, the situation is improving a bit, but, on the other hand, social unrest is shaking the empire. Demonstrations and rebellions forced Tsar Nicholas to abdicate in February 1917. The provisional government was proclaimed. The Bolsheviks played a role in the further weakening of the Russian army, in order, finally, to take power from the Romanov dynasty in October 1917. This bloody event is known by the October Revolution. The state system has been changed from the root.

On the other hand, Western Europe also suffers changes after the First World War. There is no big empire, Austro-Hungarian, which was divided into smaller states. New borders are emerging between the countries. Germany was officially proclaimed the culprit who caused the war, and had to pay war reparations. The economy of Germany, as well as the army, was significantly weakened. In newly emerging countries an electoral democracy with the right to vote has been established, for the first time in history.

Unlike them in Bolshevik, Russia is ruled by a strong communist dictatorship under the leadership of one man, Lenin.

<em>It's definitely B, take my word on it.</em>

here's what I found researching some websites.

"<em><u>These thinkers valued reason, science, religious tolerance, and what they called “natural rights”</u></em>—life, liberty, and property. Enlightenment philosophers John Locke, Charles Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau all developed theories of government in which some or even all the people would govern."

"The Enlightenment was influenced by reason because it was a time of optimism and possibility. People started to study human nature and society. What new views did philosophers have about government? These rulers inspired further rulers, and people began to believe that human reason could solve any problem."

"Montesquieu believed in the separation of power with checks and balances. Checks and balances are put in place to ensure that no one branch of government has too much power."

"Other enlightenment thinkers have influence on the US constitution. Volitaire's ideas are used. Volitaire believed in religious freedom which is practiced in the US today."

Climate change has had a large impact on the biodiversity of Earth's ecosystems. One example is the rise of Earth's temperature,
Lynna [10]

Answer:

While droughts can have different causes depending on the area of the world and other natural factors, the majority of scientists have started to link more intense droughts to climate change. That’s because as more greenhouse gas emissions are released into the air, causing air temperatures to increase, more moisture evaporates from land and lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water. Warmer temperatures also increase evaporation in plant soils, which affects plant life and can reduce rainfall even more. And when rainfall does come to drought-stricken areas, the drier soils it hits are less able to absorb the water, increasing the likelihood of flooding – a lose-lose situation.

Explanation:

Droughts are among the most expensive weather-related disasters in the world (pdf), affecting ecosystems, agriculture and human society.
