<span />the earth was thought to be the center of the universe, rather than the sun
There are many reasons for this, such as it is cheaper to buy a used car that has already depreciated in value rather than buying a car brand new. Once you by a brand new car and drive it off the lot, the value of it decreases exponentially so in turn you lose more money than if you were to buy a used car. Think of it like this, a person in 2010 buys a brand new car for $30,000, fast forward it is now 2018 and someone else is buying that same car that is now used for maybe $10,000. The person who originally bought the car lost out on $20,000 because as time goes on, the brand new car's value has depreciated over the years to be very cheap. I hope this helps :)
The picture you are referring to is the one from Ancient Egypt, I believe. The barge appears to be transporting t<span>wo obelisks and it can be assumed that they will be used for a temple.</span>
The Nazi Party rose to power in Germany during the 1930s
Relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. The distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the Cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.
The United States government was initially hostile to the Soviet leaders for taking Russia out of World War I and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. Although the United States embarked on a famine relief program in the Soviet Union in the early 1920s and American businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the New Economic Policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. By that time, the totalitarian nature of Joseph Stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the West. Although World War II brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward Eastern Europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
The Soviet Union and the United States stayed far apart during the next three decades of superpower conflict and the nuclear and missile arms race. Beginning in the early 1970s, the Soviet regime proclaimed a policy of détente and sought increased economic cooperation and disarmament negotiations with the West. However, the Soviet stance on human rights and its invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 created new tensions between the two countries. These tensions continued to exist until the dramatic democratic changes of 1989–91 led to the collapse during this past year of the Communist system and opened the way for an unprecedented new friendship between the United States and Russia, as well as the other new nations of the former Soviet Union.
Hoped this helped!
