Introduction

Relations among Muslims, Jews, and Christians have been shaped not only by the theologies and beliefs of the three religions, but also, and often more strongly, by the historical circumstances in which they are found. As a result, history has become a foundation for religious understanding. In each historical phase, the definition of who was regarded as Muslim, Jewish, or Christian shifted, sometimes indicating only a religious identification, but more often indicating a particular social, economic, or political group.

Why did some leaders believe that unicameral legislatures created more democratic governments?

Margaret [11]

To some leaders, lawmaking was more efficient and faster when debated and voted for in only one chamber,as provided for in an unicameral legislature. This made the law responsive to changes in public opinion, involving them in the law making and amendment process. This therefore advocates for the availability of democracy in any particular society,creating more democratic governments.

In the twentieth century, urban areas were defined as communities of more than ______.

sukhopar [10]

In the twentieth century, urban areas were defined as communities of more than 2,500

Explanation:

During the Civil War, American cities expanded even faster as industrialisation and globalisation began. By the turn of the 20th century, the US eastern coast towns were almost inconceivable, and many of their inhabitants were still living in misery. Often extremely corrupt is their local government, police forces, and companies.

Apart from this increase of urbanisation, the US has become more and more global since its foundation. More than 3/5 of the US population today resides in an urban area (usually defined as an integrated region with a minimum population of 2,500) and much less than a quarter is living in a rural area.

How did charlemagne briefly reunite much of western europe, and what happened to his empire after his death?

lora16 [44]

Charlemagne belonged to the Germanic tribe, the Franks. Upon the death of his father, Pepin, and his brother, Carloman, Charlemagne began his campaign to unite all the Germanic peoples/ tribes into one kingdom. After uniting the Germanic tribes, he had them convert to Christianity.

Next, Charlemagne aimed to expand his kingdom, carrying out successful military campaigns against the Lombards (in modern-day Northern Italy), the Saxons, and the Avars (in modern-day Austria and Hungary). He conquered most of Western Europe reaching Northern Spain, Bavaria, and Southern Italy.

Charlemagne employed "novel siege technologies and excellent logistics." He led a well-organized large army, heavily armed and armored, who traveled in horseback, allowing them to travel large distances. They relied on their maneuverability and on an organized system of conquest, building fortresses, leaving garrisons in forts, and gathering enough resources and supply for their conquests.

As an emperor, he was a talented diplomat and converted most of his kingdom to Christianity. He initiated military, economic, educational, and religious reforms, making him the protagonist of the "Carolingian Renaissance."

After Charlemagne's death, his son Louis became the sole ruler of his empire. Eventually, his empire was split among 3 of his grandsons and was dissolved by the late 800s, primarily because of a new wave of attacks from the Muslims, Vikings, and Magyars. <span>
