What was the religion of the Persians? How was it different than other early civilizations?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Ancient Persian religion was a polytheistic faith which corresponds roughly to what is known today as ancient Persian mythology. It first developed in the region known as Greater Iran (the Caucasus, Central Asia, South Asia, and West Asia) but became focused in the area now known as Iran at some point around the 3rd millennium BCE. This region was already inhabited by the Elamites and the people of Susiana whose beliefs are thought to have influenced the later development of Persian religion.

The Persians arrived as part of a large-scale migration which included a number of other tribes who referred to themselves as Aryans (denoting a class of people, not a race, and essentially meaning “free” or “noble”) and included Alans, Bactrians, Medes, Parthians, Scythians, and others. The Persians settled near the Elamites in Persis (also given as Parsa, modern Fars), which is where their name comes from, and religious rituals were instituted shortly after.

How the early Persians worshipped their gods is unknown except that it involved fire and outdoor altars. It is thought to have resembled modern-day Zoroastrian rites in many respects. Inscriptions from the Achaemenid Persian Empire (c. 550-330 BCE) reference the kings' religious beliefs – which may have been the early polytheistic faith or the later Zoroastrian monotheism – and religion continued to play a central role in the later Parthian Empire (247 BCE-224 CE) and, to a much greater degree, in the Sassanian Empire (224-651 CE) which made Zoroastrianism the state religion.

When the Sassanian Empire fell to the invading Muslim Arabs in 651 CE, Persian religion was suppressed and adherents either converted, left the region, or continued the faith in secret. Zoroastrianism survived the conversion efforts, however, and is still practiced in the modern day while the early polytheistic faith was relegated to myth and lore. The present-day religion known as the Baha'i Faith, often referenced as a “Persian religion”, developed from an Islamic sect known as Babism and has no direct historical connection to the religious systems of ancient Persia.

“The US and Soviet Union were fighting a Cold War during this time. The US was supporting democracy, while the Soviet Union was supporting Communism. Cuba and the Soviet Union quickly became allies and began trading food, weapons, and supplies with each other.”


Why did Cuba and the Soviet Union become allies?

How do you think this new alliance affected the relationship between Cuba and the US?

Answers

Answer:

Cuba and the ussr became allies because Cuba and US had political disagreements as well as violence between the two and when the US refused to trade with them they made a alliance with the USSR

The US viewed Cuba as a security threat because they where in a alliance with the USSR

so they stopped trading.

Answer:

With Cuba being so close to the United States the Soviet Union could use the nukes they placed in Cuba to hit the most important parts of the United States, The Soviet Union and Cuba both wanted to expand communism, and this relationship between Stalin and Castro, was an economic one so Stalin could send military personal to Castro and this helped Cuba stay defended if the U.S launched a high risk attack.  

The alliance affected the relationship between Cuba and the US by Cuba being watched by the Soviet Union so any time an attack was held on cuba it was most likely an illegal one or a very high risk spy mission, so the Americans were consistently in the red entering Communist Cuba and at risk of setting off nuclear war.

What brought an end to the dominance of the Silk Road?

Answers

Answer:

An excess of sea routes

Explanation:

The Silk route was dominated by the Muslims in the Middle East, which often led in the clash and unrest between the two religion (Christians and Muslims). The increasing rates of the goods brought from Asia through land route (Silk route) became expensive. To solve this problem a new route was to be found. Therefore, the age of exploration began in Europe.  Vasco da Gama found his way to India and later for the Far East in the 15th century dealt a  blow to the Silk Route.

The speed of the sea transportation, the possibility to carry more goods, relative cheapness of transportation resulted in the decline of the Silk Road in the end of the 15th century. ... During the civil war in China the destroyed Silk Road once again played its big role in the history of China.

What was the impact of the Cuban Revolution and what is the current relationship between Cuba and the United States like today?

Answers

The United States seeks a stable, prosperous, and free country for the Cuban people. The United States pursues limited engagement with Cuba that advances our national interests and empowers the Cuban people while restricting economic practices that disproportionately benefit the Cuban government or its military, intelligence, or security agencies at the expense of the Cuban people. The U.S. government seeks to promote human rights, religious freedom, and democracy, encourages the development of telecommunications and the internet in Cuba, supports the growth of Cuba’s nascent private sector and civil society, and engages in areas that advance the interests of the United States and the Cuban people. The United States is committed to supporting safe, orderly, and legal migration from Cuba through the effective implementation of the U.S.-Cuba Migration Accords. Due to injuries sustained by our diplomatic community in Havana, visa processing for most Cuban applicants is presently taking place in third countries.

critics of polling are correct

Explanation:

polling is just another form of politics because in the end they see which side gets more votes

On the one hand, public opinion alerts decision-makers about prospective voting patterns and public preferences. If democratic institutions were more stable, this impact should be stronger.

How do politicians use polls of the public's opinion?

Voters can learn more about each candidate by using polls to guide their research. Voters can learn about the causes that candidates support from polls. Top candidates are identified by polls, and media outlets interview those people. According to polls, certain candidates should prevail.

Why is it crucial that citizens cast ballots?

Citizens participate in democracy through casting ballots. The interests of the people are supported by the leaders who are chosen by the people to represent them and their beliefs. Only citizens of the United States are entitled to two special privileges: the ability to vote in federal elections and the right to seek for federal office.
