History

patriot [66]2 years ago

Answer:The surpluses of food encouraged local and long-distance trade because they provided the people with a valuable trading good for which they were able to get other goods that they needed and desired.

Explanation:

The surpluses of food only occurred when the people started to engage into large scale agriculture. As they were able to satisfy their own demand for food, all of the rest of the food that was produced became a trading good. The people that were able to produce surpluses of food had big advantage because lot of people living in harsher regions were not able to do so.

The people that were not able to produce large quantities of food needed the surplus food from the people that were producing it. In order to get it without engaging in war though, they had to offer something in return. Very often they had goods that were attractive to the people that produced surpluses of food, goods like salt, gold, metals. This contributed to development of trade, both of short and longer distance, depending on what each trading side wanted to gain.

Regions that were able to produce surpluses of food were:

Mesopotamia

Egypt

Indus Valley

China

Regions that were not able to produce surpluses of food but were able to offer other goods were:

Anatolia

Central Asia

the Sahel

What does this political cartoon reveal about the impact of the treaty of Versailles on Germany’s sense of pride and nationalism
S_A_V [24]

The Treaty of Versailles has further increased the sense of pride and nationalism among the German people, and that eventually led to the worst thing that has happened to the humanity, the World War II. The reason why the Treaty of Versailles had such an effect on the Germans was that it made big damage and sanctions on the German economy, with the people of Germany suffering and living in poverty. The frustrations grew, the people felt that they were stripped of their basic rights, and they saw an enemy that was trying to destroy them in any way possible. Once a political figure came on the scene that used all of those frustrations to gain power, the people saw a savior, and that led to the rise of Nazi Germany and the terrors of World War II.
