Well, Southwest Asia actually has a natural division: the Dardanelles link the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara, which then is linked to the Black Sea by the Bosporus Straits. The problem lies in the fact that countries lie on both sides and in grey spots. While the Ural Mountains are the technical geographical divide between Europe and Siberian Asia, Russia controls both sides, so is Russia in Europe or Asia? And if Russia is in Europe, then do you continue Europe to include nations that lie in the Caucasus, which lie directly east of the Black Sea but west of the Urals? Turkey owns land on both the European side of the Sea of Marmara and on the Asian side. Cyprus lies on an island in the Mediterranean Sea, and while its closer to Asia, it is in the EU. Even Greece becomes a grey area, because it owns islands that are barrier islands of Asia Minor, and Kazakhstan is grey because the Urals end in the middle of the nation.

What dramatic change in the way humans lived from the Paleolithic period to the Neolithic period ultimately impacted the kinds o
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Rather than living in small groups of nomadic hunter-gatherers, humans began to gather in settlements, domesticating animals and growing crops.

Explanation:

The shift from being hunter-gatherers to being settled and domesticating animals was a huge change for humans and was responsible for the success of humanity. 

When humans started to domesticate animals and plant crops the tribes started to have food surplus and were able to be more focused on other things such as develop new agricultural methods. With this, the population started to grow and early civilizations such as Mesopotamia, China, and Asia started to develop.

PSYCHO15rus [73]
Option 1:
a.) The US policy of containment stated that they would contain communism to prevent it from spreading into the other countries. This can be seen in the Korean and Vietnam War because the US fought to stop the others from spreading the idea of communism.
b.) The agreements that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis was the idea of open skies. Each country would disarm their nukes and other atomic weapons and allow the skies to be open for “surveillance.” This, however, ended up failing as a US pilot was shot down after “surveying” the skies. The interesting thing about this is that the US president was already getting rid of all the atomic bombs in the US, but told the SU that they were not going to disarm. This scared the SU into disarming.
c.) in my opinion, I believe this containment policy failed. The US was unable to stop communism as it spread to china. The US tried hard to stop this spread but ultimately failed.

Option 2:
a.) The causes of the Korean War include the fear of spreading communism. North Korea were communist and South Korea were not. Just as the US were going through imperialism, North Korea was too. This caused them to want to spread the idea of communism. They attacked South Korea, so the US lead the counter attack and pushed the North Korean forces back.
b.) Due to the lack of support, the US lost the Vietnam war. There were many factors that contributed to this, making the Americans question the real intentions of the war. For example, the Tet Offensive was a turning point in the war. The war was almost over, and Johnson told the public they were winning, but when the US attacked Vietnam on the Vietnamese New year, they lost support. There was a request for 200,000 more troops and the US people saw this as an act of desperation. There was also the My Lai massacre where innocent Vietnamese citizens- mostly children and women- were killed by US soldiers for no reason. This was all covered up by the US government. The war eventually ended when Kissinger negotiated with north Vietnam. The US ended the longest known war and the last few troops leave Vietnam in 1973. South Vietnam surrendered in 1976, which is considered a loss because the US unsuccessfully helped them.
c.) same as option 1

9. Why did the Chinese government sell the grain that people actually needed to<br>eat?​
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

China’s greater involvement with world grain trade; through greater reliance on grain imports, China will pay less for grain than it would adhering to strict self-sufficiency. Despite potentially mutual benefits, however, the successful transition of China’s grain policy will be impossible without a favorable environment at both internal and external levels. China’s movement toward trade liberalization is confronted with China’s concerns over its food security, possible farmer unemployment, and international payments. To aid China in overcoming many difficulties, measures taken by the international community will be crucial to encourage a smooth transition in China’s grain trade policy.
