The goal of Prohibition was to get rid of the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol in the US. Even though this was a federal law, thousands of American citizens all over the country broke this law. One way they broke this law was by going to speakeasies. Speakeasies were secret bars that people could go to in order to obtain alcohol. Even though this went against the 18th amendment (the law that made alcohol illegal), thousands of Americans opened these speakeasies due to the fact that Americans were willing to pay a large amount of money for alcohol.

Along with the speakeasies, people found other ways to obtain alcohol. Bootleggers, people who illegally transported alcohol, helped to begin organized crime rings all over the country. This increase in crime rates also lead to increased violence (like a higher homicide rate), as gangs competed for business. Overall, Prohibition failed to reduce crime and reduce alcohol consumption rates.

How did Joan arc's execution affect the french forces
rjkz [21]
Joan of Arc is a famous woman in history revered by the French who fought in the Hundred Years War. She was captured at the age of 19 and executed by the English. After her execution, England never regained ground in the war. The French eventually won the war and reclaimed the land they lost to the English. This caused England to retreat to being an island nation.  <span />

which new models did the ottomans adopt during the nineteenth century to adapt themselves to the western challenge?
Likurg_2 [28]

The Ottoman sultans’ fascination with European art, which had so strongly influenced the arts of the eighteenth century, played an equally important role in the nineteenth. Just as they attempted to solve the empire’s problems with the adoption of European systems of law, military, and even dress, so European-style art seemed the most appropriate form of expression for what the country perceived as its own modern and cosmopolitan culture.
