What is the importance of Book 1 of Odyssey?

Answers

Answer 1

Odysseus possesses the qualities that make a Homeric leader stand out: power, bravery, nobility, a desire for glory, and confidence in his position of command.

 Odysseus' fast thinking gets him out of some really difficult circumstances, such when he escapes from the Cyclops' cave in Book 9 or when he has his minstrel play a wedding melody in Book 23 to cover up his killing of the suitors. Additionally, he is an effective public speaker who can easily persuade or sway his audience. For instance, when he initially speaks to Nausicaa on the island of Scheria, his classy demeanor and soothing manner soon gain her trust.

As with previous Homeric heroes, Odysseus yearns for both his nostos (return home) and kleos (fame acquired via heroic actions). He enjoys his opulent lifestyle in an exotic location with Calypso, but only to a certain extent. Even though he acknowledges that his wife cannot hold a candle to Calypso, he eventually wants to go back home. While with the Phaeacians and on Circe's island, he reflects on his native country. However, sometimes his pursuit of glory interferes with his pursuit of home. Despite losing men and time, he sacks the Cicones' territory. He stays too long in Polyphemus' cave, enjoying the free milk and cheese he discovers, and when the Cyclops returns, he is stuck there.

Which excerpt from “The Telephone: A Truer Tale” best supports the purpose of the text?

After all, it has a terrific happy ending in which the hero, Alexander Graham Bell, uses his astonishing new device to transmit the words “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.”
Meucci would not allow himself to become discouraged, however. Instead, he returned to his lab determined to make his talking machine even better. He worked for many more years and did just that.
In 1871, Meucci still lacked investors and was unable to pay the $250 patent fee, so he filed a patent caveat instead. A patent caveat cost only $10 and would not allow anyone else to patent the same idea for one full year.
On June 11, 2002, one hundred and twenty-six years after Bell’s patent was issued, the United States House of Representatives passed a resolution recognizing Antonio Meucci as the true inventor of the telephone.

Franklin only saught war because of Japan. Japan destroyed many of America's naval and battleships. They did this because they had the element of surprise and wanted to conquer territories that could provide important natural resources.

Identify and describe an example of 20th century military conflicts on a global scale.


Choose ONE global military conflict and write a 2-3 sentence response that includes at least 3 specific key terms in the explanation/description.

Answers

Answer:

The 20th century was dominated by war and conflict that continually shifted the balance of power around the globe. This pivotal time period saw the emergence of "total wars" like World War I and World War II in which militaries used any means necessary to win—these wars were so massive they encompassed nearly the entire world. Other wars like the Chinese Civil War remained local but still caused the death of millions.

Motives for these wars ranged from expansion disputes to government upsets, even the intentional murder of an entire people. But they all shared one thing: an extraordinary number of deaths. You will notice that in many cases, soldiers were not the only ones dying.nation: The three wars of the 1900s with the highest number of civilian and soldier fatalities were World War II, World War I, and the Russian Civil War, respectively.

World War II

The largest and bloodiest war of the 20th century (and of all time) was World War II. The conflict, which lasted from 1939 to 1945, involved most of the planet. When it was finally over, between 62 and 78 million are estimated to have died.1  Of that enormous group, which represents about 3 percent of the entire world population at the time, the huge majority (over 50 million) were civilians.2  

World War I

World War I was also catastrophic but total casualties are much harder to calculate as deaths were not well documented. Some sources estimate that there were over 10 million military deaths plus civilian casualties, of which there are thought to be even more (so in total, the number of deaths is estimated at 20 million or more).3  Factoring in the deaths caused by the 1918 influenza epidemic, spread by returning soldiers at the end of World War I, this war's death total is much higher. The epidemic alone was responsible for at least 50 million deaths.4  

Russian Civil War

The third bloodiest war of the 20th century was the Russian Civil War. This war caused the death of an estimated 13.5 million people, almost 10% of the population—12 million civilians and 1.5 million soldiers.5  Unlike the two world wars, however, the Russian Civil War did not spread across Europe or beyond. Rather, it was a struggle for power following the Russian Revolution, and it pitted the Bolsheviks, headed by Lenin, against a coalition called the White Army.

Interestingly, the Russian Civil War was over 14 times deadlier than the American Civil War. By comparison, the latter was a much smaller war that resulted in 642,427 Union casualties and 483,026 Confederate casualties.6  However, the American Civil War, which began in 1861 and ended in 1865, was by far the deadliest war in history for the United States. The second deadliest in terms of American soldier fatality was World War II with a grand total of 416,800 military deaths.7  

Other Major Wars and Conflicts of the 20th Century

Many wars, conflicts, revolutions, and genocides shaped the 20th century outside of these top three largest. Take a look at this chronological list of other major wars of the 20th century to see just how much this century was impacted by battle.

Answer:

First part:

The three wars of the 1900s with the highest number of civilian and soldier fatalities were World War II, World War I, and the Russian Civil War, respectively. These were all armed conflicts between nations or factions within a nation and warfare. Also a state or period of active military operations.

Does the spread of nuclear weapons make the world safer, or more dangerous?

Answers

Answer:

In my opinion, More dangerous.

Explanation:

I think this because, Yes they very well could stop enemies from attacking the U.S or any Country, But what about the damage it could cause. Just don't start a war -.-  . We already have enough problems like Disease and Global warming.

Answer:

Both

Explanation:

Because nuclear weapons are so destructive they can be hazardous but because almost every developed country has them the term M.A.D. or Mutally Assured Destruction no country will fire a nuclear missile at the other because they know it would only destroy  each other, but if every country would agree to dismantle all nuclear weapons then it would make the world safer. Nuclear Energy though is a good clean source of energy that should be further explored in more countries.

They claimed that the North Vietnamese were engaged in a patriotic conflict to defend their country from outside aggressors.
