"Conquering the world on horseback is easy; it is dismounting and governing that is hard." meaning​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

it mean's that In 1206 one chieftain, Temüjin, united the myriad nomadic tribes of the Mongolian plains and was duly named ‘universal ruler’ - Genghis Khan. These united tribes would soon conquer most of the known world. In less than a century the Mongol Empire would cover most of Asia, swathes of the Middle East, and even threaten Europe.

There is more to Genghis Khan and the Mongolian Empire than warfare and military success though.

This was a pluralistic empire built on meritocracy, diplomacy, and religious toleration with relatively strong women’s rights. As the Mongolian Empire expanded and peace flourished in the interior, trade along the Silk Road blossomed. This connectivity and exchange brought a cultural flourishing to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Violence and brutality were, however, the foundations on which this great empire was formed.

Brutally effective in the field one of the Mongolian horde’s greatest siege weapons was terror. Towns that refused to surrender were annihilated upon capture so as to dissuade any similarly stubborn garrisons to rethink their mentality. Genghis’ own military expeditions cost so many lives in fact that the earth was cooled by a few degrees.

At the same time Genghis welcomed any useful person or technology. These were in turn used to capture further towns and cities. In this way Genghis’ great horde grew ever greater with victory. As renowned historian John Man explained: “Part of Genghis’ genius was to see that he was an ignorant barbarian”.

His tactical and martial genius ensured Genghis’ name would be etched in history alongside Alexander the Great, Xerxes, Tamerlane, and Attila the Hun. His legacy would be far greater than these other names though. This was largely due to his system of governance.

During his lifetime Genghis had rewarded people based on their performance and ability. On his death Genghis’ empire was divided among his sons and grandsons with his third eldest, Ögedei, named as his successor.

The reliance on support from the home tribes tethered Genghis’ successors politically and militarily. When Ögedei passed away, despite being on a weak Europe’s doorstep, the horde returned to Mongolia to resolve the succession. Despite this slight weakness the Mongolian Empire continued to grow.

The greatest period of growth came during the reign of Genghis’ grandson Kublai. Continuing his grandfather’s promotion of merit and adoption of foreign practices Kublai was able to grow the Mongol Empire until it covered a fifth of the world’s inhabited land.

This was largely due to his conquering of the remaining Chinese territory and establishing of the Yuan dynasty. Kublai’s reign was marked by disunity though and by the time of his death in 1294 the Mongol Empire had begun to break up.

Despite the disintegration of the empire the central Yuan dynasty remained. This would become the basis from which modern China would eventually emerge. Despite being “a very minor part, of a small clan, of a tribe that nobody had heard of in the outside world” Genghis Khan became one of the most influential figures in history.

Before the location was renamed, where was the new capital moved to?

A. Pamlico
B. Jamestown
C. Middle Plantation
D. Henrico

Answers

The correct answer is C) Middle Plantation.

Before the location was renamed, the new capital moved to "Middle Plantation."

We are talking about the North American colonial times, in the Virginia colony. Established in 1632, the Middle Plantation was a territory located between the York and the James River. In times of Bacon Rebellion in 1675, the Middle Plantation became the second most important town after Jamestown. Later, in 1693, the College of William & Mary was founded here. And in 1699, this place became the capital of Virginia, after a fire burned down the capitol in Jamestown. Today, this place is Williamsburg, Virginia.

How will these differences between Martin Luther and the pope be resolved?

Answers

Answer:

On October 31, 1517, German scholar Martin Luther is said to have nailed his argument against the Catholic Church's sale of better treatment after death to a church door in Wittenberg.

Whether this actually happened is disputed, but what's not disputed is that his "95 Theses" quickly spread debate through Europe and led to an irrevocable split in Western Christianity.

Luther's influence can still be felt — he's been credited with the rise of secular democracy, among other things — but it was theology that he was concerned about.

If all you know about the Reformation are references on The Simpsons, read on to find out why Luther disagreed with the Catholic Church.

Answers

Answer:

I believe everyone deserves to share their opinion,which is why we have freedom of speech.I believe people should not go as far as burning flags,when you can simply state your opinion.

Explanation:

Answer:

Talking Points on Opposing the Flag Desecration Amendment

Reasons why the flag desecration constitutional amendment is unwarranted and unconstitutional:

This amendment is injurious to one of the very freedoms the flag symbolizes: free speech. It directly empowers the Congress to engage in thought control. There is a distinct difference between real and forced patriotism. Flag burning and desecration is offensive because it is political. Experience shows that the way to fight political expression with which one disagrees is not to outlaw it, but to express disapproval.

Freedom cannot survive if exceptions to the First Amendment are made when someone in power disagrees with an expression. If we allow that, our right to free speech will depend on what Congress finds acceptable, precisely what the First Amendment was designed to prevent.

This amendment may provoke rather than diminish the very acts it purports to curtail. Our nation's experiment with an amendment to the Constitution concerning Prohibition shows that a cure by amendment to the Constitution may itself incite harm of the very nature it seeks to prevent.

The flag desecration amendment is a solution in search of a problem. The expressive act, burning a flag, which this amendment attempts to curtail, is exceedingly rare. Professor Robert Justin Goldstein documented approximately 45 reported incidents of flag burning in the over 200 years between 1777 when the flag was adopted, and 1989, when Congress passed, and the Supreme Court rejected, the Flag Protection Act. About half of these occurred during the Vietnam War.

This amendment would be the beginning, not the end, of the question of how to regulate a certain form of expression. It empowers Congress to begin the task of defining what the "flag" and "desecration" mean. The use of the flag as symbol is ubiquitous, from commerce, to art, to memorials, such that Congress would be in the position of defining broad rules for specific applications. Congress, the courts, and law enforcement agents would have to judge whether displaying the flag on Polo jeans is "desecration," but the Smithsonian's recent removal of two million stitches from the 188-year old flag that inspired Frances Scott Key, is not.

The United States Supreme Court has ruled consistently that flag burning is a form of speech protected by the First Amendment. In Texas v. Johnson (1989), the Supreme Court held it unconstitutional to apply to a protester a Texas law punishing people who "desecrate" or otherwise "mistreat" the flag in a manner that the "actor knows will seriously offend one or more persons likely to observe or discover his action." The Court found that the law made flag burning a crime only when the suspect's thoughts and message in the act of burning were offensive, thus violating the First Amendment's protections of freedom of the mind and freedom of speech. The next year, in United States v. Eichman (1990), the Court reviewed a Congressional statute that attempted to be neutral as to the messages that might be conveyed, prohibiting flag burning except when attempting the "disposal of a flag when it has become worn or soiled." The Court struck down this statute as another attempt to punish offensive thoughts.

The evidence of Africa history as stated by divers authors are bearly not enough..

"Courage! I have shown it for years; think you I shall lose it at the moment when my sufferings are to end?"

Name Change- After tedious and lengthy negotiations, King Louis XV requested the hand of the Archduchess for his grandson and heir, Louis Auguste. In consideration of the marriage, her name was changed to Marie Antoinette. The name was thought to be more appropriate for the Dauphine of France and later, the Queen of France.

Full Name- Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna

The campaign against Marie Antoinette likewise grew stronger. In July 1793, she lost custody of her young son, who was forced to accuse her of sexual abuse and incest before a Revolutionary tribunal. In October, she was convicted of treason and sent to the guillotine. Though Marie Antoinette was innocent of any involvement, she was nevertheless guilty in the eyes of the people. Refusing to let public criticism alter her behavior, in 1786 Marie Antoinette began building the Hameau de la Reine, an extravagant retreat near the Petit Trianon in Versailles.  Your Welcome. :)
