Q. how did the english treat the africans during their 19th century colonization of africa???
Asked by *hola* - Sun Feb 25 16:13:25 2007 - - 3 Answers - 2 Comments

A. Like ignorant savages. The English, like all Europeans, used their technology and trade items (not to mention opium and alcohol) to create an aura of superiority. If that didn't work, they used the strength of their military to intimidate and sometimes battle the Africans into submission. Once in control, they subjugated the native peoples into hard labor in order to exploit any available natural resources, and paid them little to nothing for their work. In all, it can easily be said that all European nations treated Africans with disdain and often cruelty.

Q. Using your knowledge of warfare and war strategies, what could have improved the chances of success at Dieppe???
Asked by Christine S - Sat Nov 14 18:20:59 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A larger assault force with overwhelming naval and air support was all that could have helped. As pointed out by the previous answerer, Dieppe was an unsuitable landing site, because the cliffs made getting inland difficult, and the sea walls on the beaches were too high for tanks to traverse. Finally, an attack on a major port, which was bound to be well garrisoned and equipped, was not a sensible idea in the first place.

A. Journalism, Politics, stuff like that... History is a very academic subject, so applying to a university colleague, getting a job. Having a good grade in history will certainly show you've got brains. History gives you a better perceptive of the world, as you find out other stories and learn from them... I must admit I personally prefer the sciences, revise all the info then get the marks... And dropped history for Biology... Many say history is a very interesting subject, hence why lots of adults read history as thei hobby...

What's the difference between History and Social Studies?
Q. I'm on Collegeboard and it's asking me how many years of Social Studies I've taken. I've always thought that social studies was the same as History, but it also asks me how many years of History I've taken. I plan on taking two years of History (I'm a Sophomore) and I don't know what they mean. The college I want to go to (UNC at Chapel Hill) doesn't require history, but they require three years of social studies. Would my two years in History (World History and US History) count as social studies? Are Social Studies and History both the same? If not how would I fufill their requirements? -Please help

A. Your histories would count as social studies. When I applied to UNC, I put down my histories (which were US history, World history, Government & Politics, etc.) and got in.

When in rock history where you could start your rock career?
Q. If I can choose which era in rock history so that I could start my rock career, I would have belonged in the British Invasion period of the 1960s when bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who gained popularity. Being the John Lennon/Mick Jagger/Roger Daltrey type of leader of the group, I would shape rock history with concept albums, psychedelia, and rebellious music. What about you? When in rock history where you could start your rock career? Why?

A. London in the mid - late 1960s. Why? Because that's where and when some of my favourite bands got started. Also, the way in which you could get into the music industry back then ~ you played lots of little bars and clubs, worked your way around, and no one batted an eyelid if you shuffled the band around a bit as you went. And because I've always had a bit of a 'thing' about the 1960s, especially for the music scene :)

Children of people who are citizens or who have ILR also get it immediately. For the citizenship process, you must have held ILR for a year, unless you are the spouse of a UK citizen in which case you must just have ILR before applying. There is the requirement to pass the Life in the UK test, which is being moved forward to the ILR stage from this April and to demonstrate your knowledge of English.

Asked by rascalgirl14 - Thu Nov 30 17:49:41 2006 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Well, I'm much more into the social aspect of history than that of the political or diplomatic, but all three must be considered. There was a political dimension: the US was growing, and settling this area with US citizens was obviously more to our advantage than to allow it to be settled by others who might prove less than friendly toward our interests. There was a diplomatic one, as well--we nearly went to war with Britain over the Canadian border. Of course, the social portion is found in the reasons why people went there, and the interactions with the native peoples already in the area. It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that the consequences for the Native Americans weren't necessarily good--people of the nineteenth… [cont.]

Asked by Always Singing - Tue Dec 30 10:24:04 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The earliest uses of symbolic rings are attributed to different peoples, including the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. Betrothal rings were meant to symbolize a woman s connection to the man who would become her husband, though the arrangement was more of a business proposition than a romantic union. Romans used iron rings to symbolize strength and permanence, and the Greeks are credited with the initial idea to wear the ring on the fourth finger of the left hand, where the vena amoris or vein of love was supposed to connect to the heart. During the ninth century, Pope Nicolas I endorsed the idea of engagement rings by making a gold ring a betrothal requirement to demonstrate the groom s wealth and ability to care for a wife.

A. as always, wiki is a nice source for some of these things. I would start with searching algebra, geometry, calculus, etc. then once you get a feel for who invented each then search names like Euler, Gauss, Newton, Leibniz, Galois, Pascal, Cauchy, Liouville, etc. just to name a few of the big ones. even Aristotle is important here because the Greeks wrote the book on geometry (in many ways). This is a quick fix but I know there are classes offered on history of mathematics and, therefore, texts available out there. In your predicament i would utilize some online resources and hope for an easy test :-/

A. I think that they are not really separate. Political science and political history are intertwined. To understand any theme or topic in politics you need to understand the history behind it and any principles associated with it are inferred from historical evidence. To learn about elections you will study past elections , to learn about prime ministers you will learn about what prime ministers have done, etc. There is no other way.
