Explanation: The ottoman empire was a famous empire emanating from Turkish trybes which was referred to as minor Asia during the 15th to 16thcenturies, the empire grew and expanded into countries like Macedonia, Egypt,Seria, Greece etc. The empire lasted for up to 600years (1300-1922) and ended up in the year 1922.

the outcome of 1970 oil crisis in united states was that, they began to search ways on how to reduce oil.

in 1970 was a period when there were energy and oil crisis. those who were major centers for industrialization were forced to keep way from supplying of petroleum.

some of the result of this crisis was economic growth became stagnant because prices of oil surged.

due to the increased prices some countries like mexico and norway benefited.

from the religious point of view, the conflicts began because of the enmity between catholic and protestants. in 1649, at the insistence of baltimore, the colonial assembly approved the act of religious tolerance, the first law in the colonies granting freedom of worship, though only for christians. in 1654, however, with the protestants of maryland in the majority, the act was revoked. the almost civil war broke out and order was not restored until 1658, when lord baltimore was returned to power.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.
