The Nile is Egypt’s only source for water since it does not rain. So that is why life only exists along the Nile River and nowhere else in Egypt. The Nile provides water for crops‚ for them to drink‚ for the cattle and other animals to drink to live and helps to create grain. The Nile also provided

The biggest mistake in America between 1865 and 1929 in my opinion was the Comprise of 1877. This Comprise set the civil rights for African Americans back for years to come. If only they had worked a better deal for the future of the African Americans in the Southern states. America could be whole different country today.

Hindenburg‚ but why did he get this prestigious honour - why did Hitler become Chancellor? There are four main reasons as to why this happened‚ and they are as follows: the Weimar government ’s weaknesses; his own leadership skills and the Nazis tactics; the Great Depression; and political manoeuvring between von Schleicher and von Papen.

Why did L.B.J sign the civil rights act of 1994? From information from documents I believe that principle was the reason. He was for the little people. As many Spanish kids did not know why they were disliked and them at such a young age‚ he thought they deserved a reason to be disliked. He would argue and at any price he would win to show that he believed and would stand behind what he said. Also‚ before he signed the act‚ he was asked why it took so long for him to act on signing these rights and
