World history The fall of Jerusalem.
There are many reasons for the fall of the city of Jerusalem. Some of those reasons being that the defenders of the city were completely out-numbered by Saladin’s army, the weakness of the city’s walls, a long siege by Saladin’s army, and the collapse of the Kingdom of Jerusalem itself. When Saladin’s army approached the city of Jerusalem the defenders of the city was starchily out numbered. The cause of this was the fact that in a previous battle now known as the battle of Hattin the Jerusalem force of 16200 men were completely decimated by Saladin’s force of 42000 men. The reason for this great defeat at the hands of Saladin’s army was poor leadership. The new king of Jerusalem Guy was bent on attacking Saladin’s army as soon as possible. This caused the new king to leave the city of Jerusalem with most of its defenders. After he left the city is where he made his biggest military blunder. He made camp with his army at the first watering hole outside of Jerusalem. Guy and his army however did not stay long. They soon moved out in search of Saladin’s army this was his fatal mistake. Instead of staying at his original camp where he and his army had a good supply of water he made a brash decision and decided to march his army in the pursuit of Saladin’s army. His original camp was the only source of water for many miles. With this decision to march without a good supply of water he made his army very
There were a lot of reasons rome fell apart, In 117 CE,it was a huge empire that covered parts of three continence. These are some of the most important reasons Rome fell. One is how big rome was, another is that over the course of 50o years they had 19 emperors, and that Rome’s soldiers were not all from Rome.
The Roman Empire was without a doubt the most powerful governing body in its day, but it had fallen! There was not any single cause for the fall of Rome. Many things occurred in a short period of time, which lead to the fall of such a powerful empire. Why did Rome fall? Some of the reasons that caused the fall of Rome was Natural disasters, a weak military, and the collapse of their economy.
Crash! Swords hit, shields break, and men fall! While I was studying the Fall of Rome, I noticed three main reasons Rome had fallen. The three reasons that I believe why Rome fell was the Goths sacking, overpopulation, and natural disasters.
Another reason Rome fell is because of the destructive and violent disasters that happened. In (Doc F), in the year 366 AE there was a violent earthquake that left the shores of the Mediterranean Sea dry. This showed that the lack of water could mean less fishing and the lack of water could have created problems for people. Then there was a flood that wiped fifty thousand people away in the city of Alexandria alone. Next there was a plague that swept through Rome and sent their population from 1 million to 250,000 thousand people. (Doc F). This
What were the primary reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire? Mini-Q The most powerful empire of all time fell due to foolish reasons. What were the primary reasons for the fall of Rome? Rome fell because the military got lazy, people were starting to get made at Rome, and all the emperors were being assassinated after a few years into their reign.
During it's time Rome was one of the biggest powerhouses on the planet. Rome had many achievements but what comes up must come down and Rome eventually fell. Some people still don't know what the main reason why rome fell but there are a couple of reasons it fell. Some reasons our having a weak army, political and leadership problems, and economic problems. Here is some evidence why Rome fell.
The primary reasons for the fall of rome were, internal threats, external threats, and a lack of patriotism. One of the reasons for the “fall” of Rome was that they had many internal threats. Firstly, Julius Caesar and other emperors used inhumane actions to get what they wanted, this caused many civilians to disagree
Throughout history, religion has always been a factor for many events, but was the purpose of the Crusades in the 11th-13th centurys purely religions devotions, or political gain? Evidence from Pope Urban II, a quote from Patrologia Latina, and a speech by the Islamic leader Saladin show just how much of a factor religion was during the Crusades. These people come from different backgrounds and histories, yet they still believe in one thing- is was "Gods will" to partake in the Crusades. Pope Urban II was the main reason that Christian soldiers journeyed to the Middle East to fight in the Crusades. Being in such an influential position, people were bound to follow his word regardless of wealth.
My first reason for why Rome fell was because of a massive earthquake that did a lot of damage. Such as leaving the Mediterranean sea dry by the sudden retreat of the see it also did massive damage to Rome and it’s cities. When the earthquake had also hit it was a flood that hit the coast of Sicily. In the cities of Greece and Egypt at most 50 people were left dead in the city of Alexandria alone with no other cities being disrupted by the flood as that much. As it astonished and terrified the subjects of Rome. As their symptoms of a declining empire and left a sinking world.
The third crusade started in 1189 and its main goal was to recapture the Holy land. Its successes, both Christian and Muslim, are still reviewed to this day. The crusade consisted of three major monarchs: Emperor Barbarossa of the Holy Roman empire, King Richard of England, and King Philip of France. They all had one common goal and it was to set out and recapture the Holy land from Saladin. This crusade began in 1189 and would last for three years. With the Muslims, under the leadership of Saladin, recently taking control of Jerusalem from the Christians in 1187, they now owned a region that many wanted. Although Saladin did successfully protect Jerusalem from invaders, the Christian attackers were successful in
Although the exact age of the Jewish faith is debatable, one thing is certain, it is a faith with an extensive, and at times tumultuous, history. Throughout the history of Judaism, Jewish people have faced ongoing persecution and discrimination. Despite these conflicts, the faith is alive, strong, and growing. Like many religions faced with adversity, Judaism has had to accommodate the ever-changing world to maintain their faith. One significant moment of change, the falling of the Second Temple, had the opportunity to destroy Judaism for good, but the Jewish people came together and reformulated their religion in order to save their faith.
Suspense comes from the reader being in a state of anxiety, worrying about whether the protagonist will overcome his or her flaws and conflicts, from the beginning to the end of The Most Dangerous Game the author Richard Connell used this writing technique to hook the reader. During a short story the suspense starts when you ask yourself “Will the protagonist be ok” in The Most Dangerous Game this is when Rainsford the protagonist falls off of his boat and gradually builds through the conflict until the climax. An exemplary quote showing what I have stated above is “ I want the ideal animal to hunt... Hunting? Good God general Zaroff, what you speak of is murder.”
The Roman Empire was one of the greatest empires around it’s time period. They ruled their region with an overpowering military force. They also had compelling agriculture and religion. Much of their music, clothes, and other agriculture continued on throughout other empires. They shaped the world with their beliefs and ideas and without this empire the world would be very different. There were strong Roman emperors and also horrible emperors who ruined the empire. Caesar and Constantine were among the most popular emperors of Rome. Constantine ruled later in the Empires lifetime while Caesar earlier. The death of Caesar had a huge impact on this empire. Constantine gave the Roman Empire the main religion of Christianity. This questioned the original beliefs of the Romans. They totally changed their culture. Towards the fall of the Roman Empire, the empire was split into two parts. This weakened their strong military force and led to an invasion. Evidently this caused Rome’s fall. The Roman Empires fall was due to the death of Caesar, mass poverty among Rome’s citizens, rise of Christianity, split of empires, and the invasions of the barbarians.
In Sylvia Plath’s timeless novel The Bell Jar, Esther’s struggle as a young woman with increasing mental health issues is extremely important in today’s culture. Her issues with insanity and the reasons behind it show that, even in the 1950’s, women face issues that young girls face today. Esther’s depression and many attempts at suicide are by no means unusual, and this book can serve as a coping mechanism for young people to take comfort in. Plath’s use of violent words and scenes help almost numb the reader to such grotesque things, which can cause a reader to realize that having mental issues is normal in young people, and that getting help is not a bad thing. The Bell Jar’s intense scenes of suicidal attempts and self harm connect the novel to today’s society by relating to the common illness of depression, and can help readers with mental health problems come to terms with their issue and seek help.
"All fiction is autobiographical, no matter how obscure from the author's experience it may be, marks of their life can be detected in any of their tales"(Bell, 17). A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway is based largely on Hemingway's own personal experiences. The main character of the novel, Frederic Henry, experiences many of the same situations that Hemingway lived. Some of these similarities are exact, while some are less similar, and some events have a completely different outcome.
