Was there a contradiction between Balfour’s proposal to establish “a national home for the Jewish people” and the promise “that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine”? If so, why did he make two contradictory promises?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is yes there was a contradiction.

Explanation:

Balfour made that statement under pressure from the Zionist movement, seeking to establish a Jewish homeland in what was then Palestine, and the need for finance for the British war effort from the international banking community largely controlled by Jewish families. Indeed the Declaration was sent to The Rothschild banking family.

We have to understand what the British perception would have been at the time. Britain still had the largest empire in the world. She was fighting Turkey, an ally of Germany so was helping local Arabs as Turkey controlled Palestine.

They were also making commitments to the Jewish population in return for financial support.  This seems strange if not ludicrous now, making the same promises of land to two competing groups, but the British at the time would have, from their imperial perspective, not seen this as a problem.

When World War 1 ended Palestine was given to Britain as a 50 year mandated territory. Almost immediately, the Palestinians demanded what they had been promised as did the Jewish population, both in Palestine and throughout the world. The situation was further compounded by the coming to power of Hitler and the pressures that caused on the Jewish community.

In 1948 the UK handed Palestine over to the UN who partitioned it between Palestinians and Jews, causing the first Arab-Israeli war. Much of this conflict, which is still continuing to this day, stems from British foreign policy and The Balfour Declaration in 1917.

Kadesh was a battle fought during a war between the Egyptians, led by Ramses, and the Hittites, in modern southern Syria. It was one of the first battles to be documented Write down the fight In details I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST

Answers

Answer:Battle of Kadesh, (1275 BC), major battle between the Egyptians under Ramses II and the Hittites under Muwatallis, in Syria, southwest of Ḥimṣ, on the Orontes River. In one of the world’s largest chariot battles, fought beside the Orontes River, Pharaoh Ramses II sought to wrest Syria from the Hittites and recapture the Hittite-held city of Kadesh. There was a day of carnage as some 5,000 chariots charged into the fray, but no outright victor. The battle led to the world’s first recorded peace treaty.

Resolved to pursue the expansionist policy introduced by his father, Seti I, Ramses invaded Hittite territories in Palestine and pushed on into Syria. Near the Orontes River, his soldiers captured two men who said they were deserters from the Hittite force, which now lay some way off, outside Aleppo. This was reassuring, since the impetuous pharaoh had pushed well ahead of his main army with an advance guard of 20,000 infantry and 2,000 chariots. Unfortunately, the "deserters" were loyal agents of his enemy. Led by their High Prince, Muwatallis, the Hittites were at hand—with 40,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 chariots—and swiftly attacked. Their heavy, three-horse chariots smashed into the Egyptian vanguard, scattering its lighter chariots and the ranks behind. An easy victory seemed assured, and the Hittites dropped their guard and set about plundering their fallen enemy. Calm and determined, Ramses quickly remarshalled his men and launched a counterattack.

With their shock advantage gone, the Hittite chariots seemed slow and ungainly; the lighter Egyptian vehicles outmaneuvered them with ease. Ramses, bold and decisive, managed to pluck from the jaws of defeat if not victory, then at least an honorable draw. Both sides claimed Kadesh as a triumph, and Ramses had his temples festooned with celebratory reliefs. In truth, the outcome was inconclusive. So much so that, fifteen years later, the two sides returned to Kadesh to agree to a nonaggression pact—the first known example in history.

Why were Alexander Hamilton's policies so hotly contested during his time? Make a list for and against those policies.

Answers

Answer:

One of Hamilton's unpopular ideas was to repay the national debt.

Explanation:

From farmers to Madison and half of Washington's cabinet, the opinion was that such a move would take too much money from the ordinary person and put too much money in the pockets of the East coast financiers who would then have amplified power while being the only ones to benefit. Another unpopular action was the chartering of a national bank. Today, repayment of national debt (or attempts thereat) and the function of a national bank (The Federal Reserve) are bedrock financial policy, realities that mitigate previous historical opinion of Hamilton.
