3. What were shre4. How did coins emerge as a means of exchange? What are the ancient coins called? |
|
Answer» Coins emerged as a means of exchange. Objects that occurred rarely in nature and whose circulation could be efficiently controlledemerged as units of valuefor interactions and exchange. These included shells such as mother-of-pearl that were widely circulated in the Americas and cowry shells that were used in Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia. Native copper, meteorites or native iron, obsidian, amber, beads, copper, gold, silver and lead ingots havevariously served as currency. People even usedlive animals such as cowsuntil relatively recent timesas a form of currency.The Mesopotamian shekel – the first known form of currency – emerged nearly 5,000 years ago. The earliest known mintsdate to 650 and 600 B.C. in Asia Minor, where the elites of Lydia and Ionia used stamped silver and gold coins to pay armies.The discovery of hordes of coins of lead, copper, silver and gold all over the globe suggests that coinage – especially in Europe, Asia and North Africa – was recognized as a medium of commodity money at the beginning of the first millennium A.D. Thewide circulation of Roman,Islamic, Indian and Chinese coinspoints to premodern commerce (1250 B.C. - A.D. 1450).Coinage as commodity money owes its success largely to its portability, durability, transportability and inherent value. Additionally, political leaders could control the production of coins – from mining, smelting, minting - as well as their circulation and use. Other forms of wealth and money, such as cows, successfully served pastoral societies, but weren’t easy to transport – and of course were susceptible to ecological disasters.Money soon became an instrument of political control. Taxes could be extracted to support the elite and armies could be raised. However, money could also act as a stabilizing force that fostered nonviolent exchanges of goods, information and services within and between groups. The first Indiancoins– punch markedcoins calledPuranas, Karshapanas or Pana – were minted in the 6th century BC by the Mahajanapadas (republic kingdoms) ofancientIndia. These included Gandhara, Kuntala, Kuru, Panchala, Shakya, Surasena, and Saurashtra. |

pet of its size of population and landan we say that India is passing through a period o 'population explosion2what are known as urban agglomeratin |
|
Answer» According to the National Population Policy draft prepared in 1997 by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the goal of total fertility rate (TFR) of 2.1 will be achieved by the year 2010. But, according to the projections made by the Registrar General, the TFR of 2.1 would not be reached before the year 2026, if the existing demographic trends continued. This shows how lackadaisical the government and the nation have been in controlling the population growth. The post-World War in period (i.e., period after 1945) is generally referred to as a period of population explosion in demographic parlance. It is a period in which the world population including population in India, experienced unprecedented and accelerated growth leading to Population explosion. For example, while India’s population was estimated to be 100 million in 1600 A.D., it was 120 million in 1800, 238.4 million in 1901, 361.1 million in 1951, 846.3 million in 1991, and estimated to be 100 million in August 1999. This means that while it increased by 20 per cent in 200 years between 1600 and 1800 A.D and by about 100 per cent (exactly 98.66%) in next 100 years between 1800 and 1901, it increased by 319 per cent in the following 99 years (or say about 100 years between 1901 and 1999). The phenomenon of galloping population in India has the following aspects: i. Every sixth person on the globe today is an Indian, and by the turn of the century, every fifth living person will be an Indian. ii. India adds 46,500 persons to its population every day. iii. Addition to India’s population is an equivalent of a Chandigarh (with 6, 40,725 population) in nine days, two Bhopal’s a month, and an Australia (with 18.52 million population) every eight months. During 1981-91, addition to the population was to the tune of 163 million, equaling to little less than the combined population of France (58.683 million), Britain (58.649 million) and Italy (57.369 million). iv. By 2035, India would overtake China as the world’s most populous nation. While the rate of annual population growth in India is 3.5 per cent, in China it is 2.1 per cent. Thus, while China’s population would double in 60 years, India’s population would double in 34 years. |

Can we change and re-pubish the content which is under public domai |
|
Answer» The copyright in a derivative work covers only the additions, changes, or other new material appearing for the first time in the work. Protection does not extend to any preexisting material, that is, previously published or previously registered works or works in the public domain or owned by a third party.As a result, it is not possible to extend the length of protection for a copyrighted work by creating a derivative work. A work that has fallen into the public domain, that is, a work that is no longer protected by copyright, is also an underlying “work” from which derivative authorship may be added, butthe copyright in the derivative work will not extend to the public domain material, and the use of the public domain material in a derivative work will not prevent anyone else from using the same public domain work for another derivative work. |

What was the reason behind the world wars? |
|
Answer» After gaining an insight into World War-I from centenary exhibition, held by Imperial war Museum, I feel qualified to answer this question. So here are my 2 cents :P Triple Military allianceSo I'll start with explaining Political situation of the region before war. There existed a triple Military alliance between Germany, Italy and Austro-Hungary (marked in red) from 1882 on-wards.Each member promised mutual support in the event of an attack by any other power. Italy's Stand : Because Germany and Austria–Hungary had taken the offensive while the Triple Alliance was supposed to have been a defensive alliance, Italy did not enter into the war. Later on, Italy entered the conflict on the side of the Entente, declaring war against Austria–Hungary in May 1915 and Germany in August 1916. Triple EntenteIt was the alliance linking France, Russian empire and finally Great Britain joining in 1907. All three of the Triple Entente entered it as Allies against the Central Powers Germany and Austria-Hungary. It shows the web of alliance at that time, which is credited to be biggest cause of WWI. Germany's General envied British Naval fleet and its global dominance in trade. And due to tensions in Balkan region, it was already against Russia. The period before 1914 was Peaceful but Politically very tensed and volatile.It all started with rather a Isolated event: On 27th June, 1994 a Serbian backed terrorist murdered the heir to Austro-Hungarian throne. A month later Austria-Hungry with encouragement from Germany declared war on Serbia. So other powers intervene, Russia decides to stand up for Serbia and Germany takes side with only reliable ally Austro-Hungary. These powers were ready to risk war to extend their national interests. Germany strikes first declaring war on Russia in east and France in the west.Germany Invaded Belgium to get to France. Why Britain Joined in ? Britain had no obligation to fight but they feared a victorious and hostile Germany which would then emerge as world power and threaten Britain's security and trade dominance. So for them World power was at stake. Also Britain had long promised to protect Belgium's neutrality. So British Prime Minister Herbert Asquith gave an ultimatum to Germany to withdraw its troops from Belgium. Alas, there was no reply. So on 4th August 1914, with its vast global empire, Britain declared war on Germany. How did USA get in ? The U.S. was an independent power and did not officially join the Allies. It closely cooperated with them militarily but acted alone in diplomacy. However, When a German U-boat sank the British liner Lusitania in 1915, with 128 Americans aboard, Wilson said, "America is too proud to fight," and demanded an end to attacks on passenger ships. Wilson repeatedly warned the U.S. would not tolerate unrestricted submarine warfare, in violation of international law and of human rights. Wilson was under pressure from war hawks led by former president Theodore Roosevelt, who denounced German acts as "piracy".Wilson realized he needed to enter the war in order to shape the peace. Finally, United States entered the war in 1917 against German forces. Before entering the war, the US had remained neutral, though it had been an important supplier to Britain and other Allied powers. During the war, the US mobilized over 4,000,000 military personnel and suffered 110,000 deaths. |

How did the 1st world war affect the industries in Russia? |
|
Answer» the Russian armies were very badly defeated by the German army. Millions of Russian soldiers were captured or killed.Russian industry could not produce enough war materials. Soldiers went into battle without weapons and were told to pick up rifles from their comrades who were killed.the Russian railway network was very poor and it could not get food to the cities. Prices rose and people began to starve in the big cities of Petrograd and Moscow.To make matters worse the Tsar dismissed the commander-in-chief of the army in 1915 and took command himself. This was a terrible mistake. Now he got the blame for everything that went wrong.When Nicholas left Petrograd for the front, he relied on information about the situation in the capital from his wife. She often did not tell the truth and made out that everything was fine. In fact by late 1916 the situation was desperate.In December 1916 Rasputin was murdered by Russian nobles, and in February 1917 workers in Petrograd began to go on strike. Soldiers sent to deal with the strikers refused to obey orders.the Tsar tried to return to Petrograd, but his train was stopped. He was forced to abdicate and a Provisional Government took over |

अर : _% _ 2 फर्म पक.Russia. |
|
Answer» Ans :- The timing, immediately after the first world war, was to gain military power. The soviet government saw the need for a strong industrial economy in order to compete in war (rising importance of aircraft, extremely heavy battleships, army tanks and artillery, personal weapons, trucks and industrial farming to feed armies) and determined to convert Russia from a feudal agricultural economy into an industrialized economy. Once the decision was made Stalin brutally implemented it sparing nothing and no-one to achieve the aim. It is still surprising how well they succeeded though. Within 25 short years the Russian economy had changed from feudal agriculture to industrial so powerful it produced more tons of military tanks than any other nation, its own effective ground-attack aircraft, and much else to a point where it is easily arguable that Russia, with some logistical support from allied countries single-handedly won WWII.

what were the social, economic condition before 1905 in Russia |
|
Answer» The social, economic and political conditions in Russia before 1905 were variously beneficial and bad for the masses. 85% of Russia’s population was agriculturist, far more than France or Germany with 40-50%. Industry was existent, but sporadically. Most of this was privately owned. Workers either came from villages, or migrated to cities for employment in factories. The industrial sector had its fair share of trouble with strikes in the textiles industry in 1896-97 and the metals industry in 1902. At this time, the peasant community was deeply religious, but did not care much about the nobility. They believed that land must be divided amongst themselves. Since this was not possible due to feudal rights, the peasants had their own unique commune wherein wealth was shared out according to each family’s needs. Political parties were illegal before 1914. The Social Democratic Workers’ Party (1898) was hence, illegal. Interestingly, the socialists believed that the peasants were “natural socialists” in their policy of equitable distribution of wealth. However, the Bolsheviks under Lenin wanted a disciplined group, and not farmers, in the party. While theBolsheviks believed in controlling the number and quality of its members,the Mensheviks believed that the party should be open to all. In the field of economic conditions, 1904 was a bad year for the workers. Due to rise in prices of essential goods, real wages decreased by 20%, leading to the famous St.Petersburg strike where 110,000 workers protested, demanding reduction in work hours and increase in wages. This strike started a series of events that are together known as the 1905 Revolution. During this revolution, there were strikes all over the country, universities closed down, and various professionals and workers established the Union of Unions, demanding the establishment of a constituent assembly.

Workers whose jobs needed skill and training considered themselves on a higher plane than the untrained worker. The social, economic and political conditions in Russia before 1905 were variously beneficial and bad for the masses. 85% of Russia’s population was agriculturist, far more than France or Germany with 40-50%. Industry was existent, but sporadically. Most of this was privately owned. Workers either came from villages, or migrated to cities for employment in factories. The industrial sector had its fair share of trouble with strikes in the textiles industry in 1896-97 and the metals industry in 1902. At this time, the peasant community was deeply religious, but did not care much about the nobility. They believed that land must be divided amongst themselves. Since this was not possible due to feudal rights, the peasants had their own unique commune wherein wealth was shared out according to each family’s needs. Political parties were illegal before 1914.
