Answer:
Although many theories persist as to the purpose of the pyramid, the most widely accepted understanding is that it was constructed as a tomb for king KHUFU.
The Egyptians were one of the first civilizations to believe in an afterlife. They believed that a second self called the ka lived within every human being. they buried their pharoahs in pyrmids so they wouldnt be desicrated. this helped support their religeous beliefs
The government overspending on their King caused them to go into major debt, which did not help them because they did not have no money for funding and this left them no other option but to go to war. The other reason was that they had no ideas. They were in contact with American philosophers and this caused for the spread of new ideas on the way that people should be treated, which also caused for the people to want to go to war. <span />
Duhhhhhh
THE GOVERNMENT HELPS PEOPLE!!!!
Many thinkers during the Enlightenment argued for the freedom & rights of the people. By creating a constitution and making the Bill of Rights, it limits the power of the government and protects the rights of the people.
I am going to assume here you are referring to the 'Scramble of Africa' that happened in the second half of the 19th century, as the European power did not really control the African regions before then.
The methods contexts did differ per colonising power and colonised region, but it boils down to the following factors:
- superior firepower, equipment and recourses; having better guns, armour, communication technology, and supply routes, made the Europeans a formidable enemy that the various tribes simply could not counter.
- co-opting the local elites; a tried and tested method for centuries, this has always been the way smart conquerers could maintain control over a region with minimal fuss and expenditur.
<span>- divide and conquer; conflict between the many tribes of Africa has been a constant for centuries in the continent. The Europeans could easily manipulate the various tribes against each other to prevent a unified resistance from rising up. </span>
<span>- a willingness to use extreme forms of terror; the Europeans might have been all high and mighty back home about their Enlightment and democracy, but in Africa they were more than willing to use forms of terror that would make most contemporary dictators feel a little uneasy. Case in point, the widespread killing and mutilation when quotas were not met in king Leopold II's Congo.</span>
