<u>Prophecy of the Volva</u>

Voluspa, or more accurately Völuspá is the first set of Viking Age poetry in the Poetic Edda, a Norse Mythology Book, some might say THE Norse Mythology book! The Völuspá translates to mean the “Prophecy of the Volva” or “Prophecy of the Seer.” A Volva was a wise-woman in old Norse culture.

It is commonly thought that the poem was composed in Iceland about the year 1000, when Icelanders perceived the fall of their ancient gods and the approach of Christianity. The story is told by an age-old seeress who was reared by primeval giants.

It tells the story of the creation of the world and its coming end, related to the audience by a völva(a Viking witch was known as a Völva, and they were considered to be powerful seeresses, shamans as well as workers of Seidr magic) addressing Odin. It is one of the most important primary sources for the study of Norse mythology. Henry Adam Bellows proposed a 10th-century dating and authorship by a pagan Icelander with knowledge of Christianity.

Which was the most important reason as to why slavery was justified?
Basile [38]
Slavery was justified by saying that it was 'natural' or 'beneficial' and that it was part of gods plan and to interfere was wrong. Also, people thought that slavery taught people how to live their lives if they thought they lacked the ability to. Mainly also because it was legal, however this is not a very good argument because it can be legal but unethical. Abolishing slavery would threaten the structure of society is another good point.

In your own words analyze the causes of Imperialism and use specific examples to support them.
Anettt [7]

Imperialism is a relationship between countries that is based on ideas of superiority and applying domination practices, which involve the extension of authority and control of one State or people over another. It can also be a political doctrine that justifies the domination of one people or State over others; usually through different types of colonization (settlement, economic exploitation, strategic military presence) or cultural subordination (acculturation).

There were several causes of Imperialism. The crisis of 1873 caused the decline in prices, products of each country prohibiting the entry of foreign goods or taxing them. This led to the need to find new markets that were not controlled by this system. On the other hand, European capitalist powers such as England, the Netherlands and France needed to give out their capital surplus and did so by investing it in countries of other continents, establishing loans, implementing railroads, installing ports, etc. In addition, these countries needed to look for raw materials for their industries, since they began to run out or to be scarce in Europe. The Second Industrial Revolution, on the other hand, needed new raw materials that Europe did not have, such as silver, oil, rubber, gold, copper, etc. The economic causes were the result of the expansion of industrial capital and were forced to seek new territories where they could invest the excess capital accumulated, these capitals found a productive output in the form of credits granted to the minority of indigenous people.
