¿Qué papel juega la ciudad de Troya con respecto a la civilización micénica?
ayudaa [cry]
Answer:
El dios Zeus ideó una estrategia para ayudar a los troyanos: enviar un falso sueño de victoria al caudillo griego Agamenón, que además acababa de tener un enfrentamiento con el héroe Aquiles. “Pensó que aquel mismo día iba a apoderarse de la ciudad de Príamo, / nada sabía el muy necio todo lo que Zeus tenía previsto hacer”, escribe Homero. No hay nada tan destructivo, tan letal, como la confianza ciega en su propio triunfo, la creencia absoluta en la victoria. Esa es una de las muchas historias universales que contiene la Ilíada. Nunca sabremos con seguridad cuándo y cómo se compuso —los expertos prefieren el verbo “componer” a “escribir” porque no está claro el papel que tuvo la escritura en su creación—. Sobre su autor, Homero, que la tradición describe como un bardo ciego, existen más dudas que certezas. Sin embargo, allí siguen sus relatos, anclados más que nunca en la memoria viva de nuestra cultura.
Como escribió Gore Vidal en sus memorias: “Al igual que las diferentes capas de Troya, donde en algún profundo lugar están todas esas ciudades amontonadas sobre otras ciudades, uno espera encontrarse con Aquiles y su amado Patroclo y con toda esa fuerza con la que dio comienzo nuestro mundo”.
Ahora que Grecia lleva años enfrentándose a sueños de victoria, Homero está presente en las librerías españolas con una oleada de novedades. En los últimos tiempos se han publicado tres libros sobre su obra —El mundo de Homero (Crítica), de John Freely; El eterno viaje. Cómo vivir con Homero (Ariel), de Adam Nicolson, y La guerra que mató a Aquiles. La verdadera historia de la ‘Ilíada’ (Acantilado), de Caroline Alexander—, además de una historia del mundo en el que surgieron esos relatos, la Grecia clásica, Héroes que miran a los ojos de los dioses (Edaf), del helenista Óscar Martínez García, autor de la última traducción al castellano de la Ilíada (Alianza Editorial, 2010). “Como en todos los libros que llamamos clásicos, en la Ilíada y la Odisea encontramos, nosotros los lectores, el reflejo de nuestra propia experiencia. En estas obras no sólo leemos de forma literal las historias que están contadas: leemos también el texto transformado en metáforas de historias que nos son propias, en símbolos de nuestros temores y deseos”, explica Alberto Manguel, que publicó hace algunos años El legado de Homero (Debate).

Explain the Maysville Road veto and what President Andrew Jackson had to do with it!!!! In 3 sentences!!
Answer: Sorry, this is more than 3 sentances but, you can summerize right?
The Maysville Road veto occurred on May 27, 1830, when United States President Andrew Jackson vetoed a bill that would allow the federal government to purchase stock in the Maysville, Washington, Paris, and Lexington Turnpike Road Company, which had been organized to construct a road linking Lexington, Kentucky, to Maysville on the Ohio River (Maysville being located approximately 66 miles/106 km northeast of Lexington), the entirety of which would be in the state of Kentucky. Its advocates regarded it as a part of the national Cumberland Road system. Congress passed a bill in 1830 providing federal funds to complete the project. Jackson vetoed the bill on the grounds that federal funding of intrastate projects of this nature was unconstitutional. He declared that such bills violated the principle that the federal government should not be involved in local economic affairs. Jackson also pointed out that funding for these kinds of projects interfered with paying off the national debt.
Proponents of internal improvements, such as the development of roads and bridges, argued that the federal government had an obligation to harmonize the nation's diverse, and often conflicting, sectional interests into an "American System." Jackson's decision was heavily influenced by his Secretary of State Martin Van Buren. Some authors have described the motives behind the veto decision as personal, rather than strictly political. The veto has been attributed to a personal grudge against Henry Clay, a political enemy, and resident of Kentucky, as well as to preserve the trade monopoly of New York's Erie Canal, in Van Buren's case.

stay safe healthy and happy..why did the nazi party gain popularity in germany after world war 1??
The end of the First World War marked the beginning of a period of political and economic instability in Germany. As a result of this instability, many small, extremist political groups appeared.
This section will explore how democracy collapsed and one such party, the NSDAP, or Nazi Party, rose to power in Germany.
Germany after the First World War. The monarchy is at an end. In Weimar, the country adopts a new constitution. But the young republic stands on shaky ground. Germans have grown up under the Kaiser's rule, and many reject democracy, which they associate with military defeat and the humiliations of the enforced peace treaty of Versailles. Consequences of the war – chaos, hunger, immense state debt and increasingly breathtaking devaluation of the currency – are blamed not on the failed empire, but on the democratic parties.
Until 1923, Germany is under the "dictatorship of the street": conditions close to civil war threaten the country with collapse. Revolutions and revolts from right and left almost always lead to the imposition of martial law. . Even later, violence and demonstrations by uniformed associations are still a political fact of life.
Only from 1924 to 1929 – a phase of political and economic stabilization – does the Republic appear to flourish.
