History

Jlenok [28]3 years ago

Answer: The Second Crusade was the second major crusade launched from Europe, called in 1145 in response to the fall of the County of Edessa the previous year. Edessa was the first of the Crusader states to have been founded during the First Crusade (1095–1099), and was the first to fall. The Second Crusade was announced by Pope Eugene III, and was the first of the crusades to be led by European kings, namely Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, with help from a number of other important European nobles. The armies of the two kings marched separately across Europe and were somewhat hindered by Byzantine emperor Manuel I Comnenus; after crossing Byzantine territory into Anatolia, both armies were separately defeated by the Seljuk Turks. Louis and Conrad and the remnants of their armies reached Jerusalem and, in 1148, participated in an ill-advised attack on Damascus. The crusade in the east was a failure for the crusaders and a great victory for the Muslims. It would ultimately lead to the fall of Jerusalem and the Third Crusade at the end of the 12th century.

The only success came outside of the Mediterranean, where Flemish, Frisian, Norman, English, Scottish, and some German crusaders, on the way by ship to the Holy Land, fortuitously stopped and helped capture Lisbon in 1147. Meanwhile, in Eastern Europe, the first of the Northern Crusades began with the intent of forcibly converting pagan tribes to Christianity, and these crusades would go on for centuries.

What is the difference between articles or confederation and the constitution
Finger [1]

Answer:

The Articles of Confederation was the text that served as the supreme law of the United States from its inception in 1777 to 1788, when the Constitution was ratified.

The Articles of Confederation united the states into a confederation governed by the Confederation Congress, which was made up of representatives of the states on an equal basis. Under this regime, the states kept large quotas of sovereignty, and the Confederation Congress was only in charge of declaring war and forming armies, but it could not collect taxes and it was very difficult for it to apply its resolutions because these could be rejected by the states. This led to a situation of ungovernability, which led to the Philadelphia Convention in 1787, in which the Constitution was created. The Constitution came to solve the problems of governability that existed in the United States, creating a strong federal government under the command of a President, with a Congress to sanction laws and a Judiciary to sanction those who break them. Likewise, the federal government was empowered to collect taxes, thus being able to finance itself without receiving contributions from the states.
