Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

A. The government was a monarchy

Explanation:

In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the gods believe that the great king is too proud and arrogant, so they decide to teach him a lesson by sending the wild man, Enkidu, to humiliate him. The fight between Enkidu and Gilgamesh is considered a couple by the population, but, after a fierce battle, Enkidu is defeated. He freely accepts his defeat and the two become friends and embark on adventures together.

Gilgamesh is the semi-mythical king of Uruk in Mesopotamia, best known for the Epic of Gilgamesh (written in the period between 2150 and 1400 BC), the great Sumerian poetic work that is 1500 years before Homer's writing and , therefore, it is the oldest work of world epic literature.

The reason for the search for the meaning of life is fully explored in Gilgamesh when the hero-king leaves his kingdom after the death of his best friend, Enkidu, to find the mystical figure Utnapishtim and obtain eternal life.

Gilgamesh's fear of death is actually a fear of meaninglessness and, although he fails to gain immortality, the search itself gives meaning to his life. This theme has been explored by writers and philosophers from ancient times to the present day.

What happened in the my lai massacre? Give details

Answers

Answer:

My Lai massacre are discussed below.

Explanation:

  • On the morning of March 1968, United States soldiers entered the small village of Vietnam named My Lai located in South Vietnam.
  • My Lai was known to be the heavily mined area in which United States Charlie had been killed.
  • Frustrated by the United States soldiers, between 350 to 500 south Vietnamese citizens, mostly women and children were shot and killed by the United States Soldiers.

 

On the morning of March 16, 1968, soldiers of Charlie Company, a unit of the Americal Division's 11th Infantry Brigade arrived in the hamlet of My Lai in the northern part of South Vietnam. They were on a “search and destroy” mission to root out 48th Viet Cong Battalion thought to be in the area.

The unit met no resistance in My Lai, which had about 700 inhabitants. Indeed, they saw no males of fighting age. They only found villagers eating breakfast. Nevertheless, over the next three hours they killed as many as 504 Vietnamese civilians. Some were lined up in a drainage ditch before being shot. The dead civilians included fifty age 3 or younger, 69 between 4 and 7, and 27 in their 70s or 80s.

In addition, Vietnamese women were raped; other civilians were clubbed and stabbed. Some victims were mutilated with the signature "C Company" carved into the chest. One soldier would testify later, "I cut their throats, cut off their hands, cut out their tongues, scalped them. I did it. A lot of people were doing it and I just followed. I lost all sense of direction." Only one American was injured - a GI who had shot himself in the foot while clearing his pistol.

In one incident, a soldier, Robert Maples, refused an order to fire his machine gun on people in a ditch, even when his commanding officer trained his own weapon on him. Hugh Thompson, a helicopter pilot, had threatened to fire on the American troops in order to rescue Vietnamese women and children from the slaughter. After seeing U.S. troops advancing on a Vietnamese family, he landed his helicopter, called in gunships to rescue the civilians, and ordered his gunner to fire on any American who interfered.

The My Lai massacre took place shortly after the Tet offensive. Late in January 1968, Viet Cong guerrillas and North Vietnamese soldiers had launched attacks on urban areas across South Vietnam. Charlie Company had arrived in Vietnam three months before the My Lai massacre. Charlie Company had suffered 28 casualties, including five dead. Just two days before the massacre, on March 14, a "C" Company squadron encountered a booby trap, killing a popular sergeant, blinding one GI and wounding several others.
