Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

The Koh-i-Noor (/ˌkoʊɪˈnʊər/; lit. "Mountain of light"), also spelt Kohinoor and Koh-i-Nur, is one of the largest cut diamonds in the world, weighing 105.6 carats (21.12 g). ... Originally, the stone was of a similar cut to other Mughal-era diamonds, like the Darya-i-Noor, which are now in the Iranian Crown Jewels.The Persian general Nadir Shah went to India in 1739. He wanted to conquer the throne, which had been weakened during the reign of Sultan Mahamad. The Sultan lost the decisive battle and had to surrender to Nadir. It was him the one that gave the diamond its current name, Koh-i-noor meaning “Mountain of light”.

Have a nice day :)

antoniya [11.8K]

Henry W. Grady, born in Athens in 1850, Grady became well known for his great ability as a writer and debater. After leaving the University of Georgia, he studied literature and history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and later on persued a career in journalism. Throghout his life as a journalist, Grady managed several papers in the South and became an influential political figure in that with his arguments and easiness of conviction, he was able to push forward the nominations and candidacies of several of his fellow political members at the Atlanta Ring, a group of proindustry Democrats who believed firmly in the ideals of the New South. Grady firmly believed in the need to promote industrial investment from the North, a reinitiation of the Southern industries, a change in the trust between North and South to increase investment. When he returned to Atlanta, Grady dedicated himself to underlining the magnificence of Atlanta as a center over Macon, Athens and Augusta. Despite the favorable effects that Grady had to improve the economical growth of Georgia, but most importantly of Atlanta, he was highly critized by his peers and fellow Georgians for exposing the South with his ideas and policies to the control and subjugation of the North, selling the South to the North and inviting oppression on Souther farmers. He was also critized for attempting to show the North a more bening stand on the issue of freed slaves and slavery. Grady died on December of 1889.

Dima020 [189]
The presidential election of 1828 was a landslide victory for Andrew Jackson. It was actually much closer than most Presidential Elections have historically win because Jackson received 56% of the vote while Adams received 43%, but the United States of course elected President with the Electoral College. The Electoral College vote was: 178 Electoral College votes for Jackson, 83 Electoral College votes for Adams. I suppose I would consider that a bit of a landslide victory.

What factors and events led to the russian revolution?
Ostrovityanka [42]
<span>Czar Nicholas II was executed by Bolshevik forces in July of 1918. The Bolsheviks were committed to the ideas of Karl Marx, and they believed that the working classes would free themselves from the economic and political control of the ruling class. They wanted to form a socialist society based on equality. The provisional government was never elected, and it chose to remain in World War I, despite the fact that the country was ill-equipped to fight against Germany. This made people more in favor of the revolution.
