History
1 answer:
Svetlanka [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The region had no forests for timber or usable stone to quarry for building materials.

Explanation:

Mesopotamia is the Middle East region located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in what is now Iraq and Syria. This region is characterized by being the cradle of the first civilizations, especially the Sumerians.

At first, the possibility of developing cities in the region was considered difficult, given the lack of elements necessary for construction such as wood, given the little presence of forested areas in the region, which tends to be rather desert. However, this obstacle was overcome by these civilizations, which developed on the banks of the mentioned rivers, making use of the fertile lands that were generated there thanks to the constant flooding caused by the rivers in the adjacent areas.

What was the Middle Passage?
ExtremeBDS [4]

The correct answer is C. The transatlantic journey that African slaves made to America

Explanation:

The "Middle Passage" was the name given to the forced journey Africans endure as they were captured in West Africa and brought to America in crowded ships with poor conditions that crossed the Atlantic. This was part of the Triangular trade in which slaves were taken to America, then products from America were taken to Europe and from Europe, products were traded in exchanges of slaves. It is estimated around 6 millions of Africans were part of the "Middle passage" but around a quarter died during it due to the poor traveling conditions. Therefore, the middle passage was basically the transatlantic journey that African slaves made to America.
