BUT ONLY IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT THE TRUE MEANING OF HANUKKAH IS. good luck.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I can :)

Explanation:

The centerpiece of the Hanukkah celebration is the hanukkiah or menorah, a candelabra that holds nine candles. Eight candles symbolize the number of days that the Temple lantern blazed; the ninth, the shamash, is a helper candle used to light the others. Hanukkah is a celebration of them winning the war of the Maccabees over the larger Syrian army. The story of the miracle, as described in the Talmud, occurred after the liberation of the Temple in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt, and describes how the finding of a jug of pure oil that was to be enough to light the lamp for one day; instead, it lasted for eight days.

thats all I know, hope it helped :)

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The most valid counter-argument to the description of the Mongols by the Russian duke was that the Mongols were interested only in plunder and treasure but not in controlling the Russian territory.

As we know by reading this part of history, the Mongols were terrible warriors that showed no mercy. They were fierce fighters that indeed were interested in destroying and plunder. And more than conquering and establish a form of government to rule a territory, by the way, they attacked and proceeded, it seemed that they were more interested in becoming wealthy.

What might have happened if Robin Hood had refused to prove his shooting skill in the royal preserve?

Answers

Answer:

If he had refused to participate in the shooting competition, he would not have won the gold and silver arrows and would not have defeated the sheriff, one of his greatest enemies.

Explanation:

The archery contest was created by the sheriff who wanted to capture Robin hood. The sheriff knew that Robin was a big fan of competitions and that he would not fail to try to win the valuable prize to help the poor. Furthermore, he knew that Robin was the best archer in the region, so he would arrest Robin in the contest.

Robin however, decides to go undercover and in fact wins the contest and defeats his enemy.

If he had refused to participate in the contest, he would not have won the gold and silver arrows.

Answer: He would not become a forester and he would have been punished.

write three sentences that describe the relationship between the native Americans and the colonists of new England​

Answers

Answer:

"The Puritans began to arrive in 1629, and their religion affected their attitudes toward Native Americans. They considered Native Americans inferior because of their primitive lifestyle, but many thought they could be converted to Christianity.  

The natives found Puritan conversion practices coercive and culturally insensitive. Accepting Christianity usually involved giving up their language, severing kinship ties with other Natives who had not been saved, and abandoning their traditional homes." quote

Explanation:

Answer:

At first, white settlers saw Native Americans as accommodating and well disposed of. They invited the Natives into their settlements, and the pioneers enthusiastically occupied with an exchange with them. Their refusal to adjust to European culture irritated the homesteaders and threats before long broke out between the two gatherings.
