How did slavery in African and Muslim societies differ from slavery in the Americas?

The IEF President made a speech during the tenth anniversary to commemorate the Hurricane Katrina natural disaster that happened in the United States. The piece of evidence that best characterizes the response of the United States, a democratic government, to the Hurricane Katrina natural disaster is;

"...we were horrified when the response to the Katrina catastrophe  revealed..confusion, delay, misdirection, inactivity, poor coordination, and lack of  leadership at all levels of government."

The description here shows the confusion and delay that characterized the response of the United States government to the disaster.

This might be pointing to the fact that they were not prepared for a disaster of that magnitude.

Perhaps more than any other leader of the Revolutionary Era, George Washington was shaped by his experiences in western lands. Washington came away from his early ventures in the West with a conviction that the destiny of Virginia, and later of the United States itself, would be one of expansion. Washington was a youth when he began surveying in the Shenandoah Valley and was only twenty-one when he made a perilous journey across the Allegheny Mountains to command the French to withdraw from the Ohio region claimed by King George II. When Washington returned to Williamsburg with news of the French defiance, he brought back a vision of the almost inconceivably rich interior beyond the barrier of the mountains. That vision remained with him for the rest of his life as he invested in western lands and worked to politically and commercially link the west with the eastern seaboard.

When Washington's band of soldiers fired the shots that triggered the French and Indian War in 1754, they did so to enforce Britain's claim to the entire Ohio Valley. Enlisting men to fight in such a war was no easy matter. Accordingly, Governor Robert Dinwiddie issued his Proclamation of 1754, promising 200,000 acres to all who would join the Virginia forces in an expedition to capture control of the Ohio from the French.

Victory in the war, however, was followed closely by a royal proclamation forbidding settlement in the Native American territories west of the Alleghenies. George Washington described the Proclamation of 1763 as a temporary expedient to placate Native groups. By 1769 new treaties were negotiated with the Iroquois and Cherokee that opened the Ohio Valley to settlers once again. George Washington began his quest to settle the land promised by Dinwiddie fifteen years earlier.

Washington started his push westwards at the fall 1769 session of the House of Burgesses in Williamsburg by having the text of the Proclamation of 1754 read into the record as evidence. On November 29, the House passed the resolution calling on the Governor to make known all land grants applied for in the Ohio. A few days later Washington wrote directly to Virginia Governor Botetourt voicing his concern that given the amount of land already granted, little would remain for the veterans of 1754. Having thus prepared his case, on December 15 Washington presented a formal petition on behalf of the officers and men of his old command, requesting that the 200,000 acres be set aside in several specific areas along the Ohio River. The Governor was quick in granting the request.

George Washington had the responsibility of representing the entire group of veterans in surveying and claiming the land. As the plans developed the uncertainty of ever realizing a profit from property so far removed from existing settlements led many eligible ex-soldiers to sell their rights in exchange for ready cash. Frequently it was Washington himself who was the purchaser, buying the rights to a little more than 5000 acres of land. This was in addition to the 15,000 acres that had been established as the bounty for field officers, giving George Washington a total of more than 20,000 acres to be located, surveyed, and registered in the Ohio Valley.

In October of 1770 Washington crossed into the Ohio country again, accompanied by his friend Dr. James Craik and a few guides and servants. The two veterans intended to survey their bounty land in the region where the Great Kanawha emptied into the Ohio River. Along the way Washington revisited the scenes of his battles against the French, recording his observations with the eye of a land speculator rather than an old soldier. It was not until late 1772 that the Governor gave final approval to Washington's application for four patents on the Ohio and Great Kanawha Rivers containing a total of 20,150 acres in what is now the state of West Virginia.

Added to the land that Washington already owned at Mount Vernon, near Fredericksburg, and in the Shenandoah Valley, the new patents brought George Washington's total land holdings to a substantial 32,855 acres. He continued to amass western land for the rest of his life. The schedule of property he appended to his will in the summer of 1799 listed over 50,000 acres, exclusive of the 8000 he also held at Mount Vernon.

Washington's hopes for great wealth from his western lands, however, were never realized. Nevertheless, Washington's recognition of the promise of the West would have a profound influence on his country, and predicted the rapid expansion of American borders westwards that would occur during the next century.

The People's Republic of China possesses a diversified communications system that links all parts of the country by Internet, telephone, telegraph, radio, and television. The country is served by an extensive system of automatic telephone exchanges connected by modern networks of fiber-optic cable, coaxial cable, microwave radio relay, and a domestic satellite system; cellular telephone service is widely available, expanding rapidly, and includes roaming service to foreign countries. Fiber to the x infrastructure has been expanded rapidly in recent years.

When the People's Republic was founded in 1949, the telecommunication systems and facilities in China first established by the Qing and Republican ITA and Ministry of Posts and Communications had been seriously damaged from over thirty years of on and off war between warlords, Japan, and the two sides of the Chinese Civil War. What little remained was largely outdated and rudimentary and limited to the eastern coastal cities, the Nanjing-Shanghai region, and a few interior cities. In the 1950s existing facilities were repaired, and, with Soviet assistance, considerable progress was made toward establishing a long-distance telephone wire network connecting Beijing to provincial-level capitals.

Communications in China were established rapidly in the early 1950s. By 1952 the principal telecommunications network centered on Beijing, and links to all large cities had finally been established. Work quickly got under way to repair, renovate and expand the system, and from 1956 telecommunications routes were extended more rapidly. To increase the efficiency of the communications system, the same lines were used for both telegraphic and telephone service, while Teletype and television (broadcasting) services were also added.

The significance of the Magna Carta was it emphasized the rule of law over the power of the king. The correct option is B.

What things did the Magna Carta do?

The Magna Carta set a ceiling on how much a king's subjects might be taxed. Additionally, it established the barons' property rights. The Magna Carta also established a pattern for the development of democracy in Europe, even if those who produced the agreement were unaware of this.

The Magna Carta, which was published in June 1215, was the first document to express the idea that the king and his government were subject to the law. By creating law as a power unto itself, it tried to restrain the king from abusing his position of authority and set boundaries for royal power.

Thus, the ideal selection is option B.

Explanation:

Feudalism was a social structure rooted in an exchange of land for military service. It was directed by the aristocracy, who were the landowners of the time. Land is the common element in both systems. Feudalism dictated how nobles gained it, while manorialism mapped out how that land was maintained by peasants.

Germany entered World War I because it was an official ally of Austria-Hungary.

Why would Germany be willing to go to war with Europe?

One of the main causes of World War I may be attributed to the growth of European empires (also known as imperialism), as tensions among European states rose as countries like Britain and France extended their territories.

As an official ally of Austria-Hungary, which had declared war on Serbia after a Serbian nationalist assassinated the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, Germany entered World War I. Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria were allies of Germany.

After Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939, France and Great Britain decided to declare war on Germany, starting World War II. The battle would result in more fatalities and widespread property damage over the following six years than in any previous war.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Think about those old cowboy and westerns ;)

The statement about the movement of the sun and stars that is true is "They move from east to west across the sky each day", option A is correct.

The observable movement stems from the Earth's rotation around its own axis. As the Earth spins from west to east, celestial objects like the Sun and stars appear to move across the sky in the opposite direction – from east to west. This phenomenon is responsible for the daily cycle of sunrise in the east and sunset in the west. The other options (B, C, and D) are not accurate.

While stars do have their own proper motion, which causes them to move gradually over long periods, their motion is not perceivable on a daily timescale. The Sun's movement is largely due to Earth's rotation rather than its own motion across the sky, option A is correct.

after three centuries of colonial rule, independence came rather suddenly to most of Spanish and Portuguese America. Between 1808 and 1826 all of Latin America except the Spanish colonies of Cuba and Puerto Rico slipped out of the hands of the Iberian powers who had ruled the region since the conquest. The rapidity and timing of that dramatic change were the result of a combination of long-building tensions in colonial rule and a series of external events.

What is Federal government

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation established a small central (aka federal) government and gave a majority of the power to state governments.

Under the Articles of Confederation, there was no executive branch (president) and there were no national courts. Rather, there was a legislative branch in which each state had one representative.

In order to make a change to the Articles of Confederation all 13 states had to agree on a change. To make a new national law, a supermajority was neededd (9/13). These procedures and rules made the Articles of Confederation a highly ineffective form of government. This is why it would be replaced by the US Constitution.
