How did the akkadian empire change the political structure of the fertile crescent?

Nuetrik [128]

There was absolute monarchy reigning in France in the XVIII century. The power was concentrated in hands of the First and Second Estate, while the Third Estate did not have enough influence to participate in governing the country. Such a situation led to the discontent of middle, lower and working class that wanted to be heard. Consequently, the French Revolution of 1789-1799 pursued the following goals: reaching justice and equality in society, limiting power of the monarchy and aristocracy, extending influence of the lower class, creating a constitution. Not all the goals were achieved but there was a great success on the way to reaching them.

King Louis XVI was forced to provide the Third Estate with power and influence by the storm of Bastille. Bastille is the largest and the most famous French prison, which had been a symbol of suppression of lower classes for ages. A group of commoners dared storm the prison on 14th of July in 1789. This event provided the Third Estate with more power.

However, freedom and equality were not reached. The Third Estate developed and introduced the Civil Constitution, which appeared quite radical, providing the lower class with rights and freedom and limiting influence of monarchy and aristocracy. This means that the French Revolution succeeded in getting rights and relative freedom for the lower class but it did not reach the whole goal. For example, freedom for slavery in French colonies led to a disaster because slaves did not know what to do when they got this freedom.

Despite of all the achievements, the French Revolution gradually failed. The Third Estate, which was named the National Assembly, tried to protect the ideas of revolution and to save own power by pursuing people, who criticized the revolt, sentencing them to prisons and to death. This led to mistrust and disappointment of the lower class. To sum up, the French Revolution was not successful at reaching all the goals but it was a great step to creating a democratic society, which influenced history of the whole humanity.

Based on paragraphs 1 and 2, analyze how Rosa Parks introduced herself. What additional information do you learn about Parks’ ch

Julli [10]

An American Female Civil rights activist, Rosa Parks is known as the "Mother of the civil rights movement".

An American Female Civil rights activist, Rosa Parks is known as the "Mother of the civil rights movement".

This is because she refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama.

From the paragraphs given:

a) Rosa Parks introduced herself as the lady who twelve years earlier had been put off a bus in 1943 by a tall, heavy, rough-skinned, mean-looking man.

b) The details she shares reveal that her character is that of a person who under normal circumstances would avoid trouble. Notice she said in the last sentence of paragraph 1, "I do know that most of the time if I saw him on a bus, I wouldn't get on it."

c) She used the word "tired' in relation to being fed up of giving in to the notion that colored people were second-class citizens.

d) The effect of the word tired in relation to giving in served as a form of Pathos. An appeal to the emotion of the reader to see the event from the angle of a lady tired of being mistreated.

e) Denotation of the word tired means to be physically enervated, weak, or lacking energy. Rosa made it clear that this was not necessarily the case or the reason why she refused to give-up her seat.

In a connotative sense, she meant that she was fed up of giving in to the notion that colored people were second-class citizens and being maltreated. According to her, the more "we gave in, the worse they treated us".

f) By stating that she had "resigned to the consequences of the situation" Rosa mean that she was ready for anything that happened thereafter. The section of the excerpt (paragraph 13) that demonstrates this attitude is the part where she has been kept under custody.

g) She states that she was thrown in a dark empty cell. The denotation of the phrase shows the kind of treatment she was subjected to. It is interesting to note that the cell was not well lit.

h) Yes, it may be said that Rosa Parks is a heroine. This is because she stood up against what was wrong, and it paved off, paving the way to the liberation of millions of colored people.

What caused European colonial powers to take interest in Africa after the Slave trade ended

Annette [7]

The right answer is D.The European power did not create boundaries based on tribal divisions and forced rival tribes to live with each other.African's huge variety of languages and cultures discouraged unity among them. Wars fought between ethnic groups over land, water, and trade rights also prevented a unified stand. Europeans soon learned to play rival groups against each other. The competition between European nations was so fierce that they feared war among themselves. To prevent conflict, 14 European nations met at the Berlin Conference in 1884-85 to lay down rules for the division of Africa. The Europeans nations divided the continent with little regard about how Africans ethnic or linguistic groups were distributed. No African ruler was invited to attend their meetings, yet the Conference sealed Africa's fate.
