How did the saddle and stirrups change warfare? A) Allowed peasants to fight
O B) Allowed knights to ride horses
C) Ended the age of knights
D) Allowed knights to shoot objects long distancest

D but don't be surprised if it is not the answer.

Explanation:

This is a fascinating question. It caused quite a rubbarb in the 1960s when the question was debated by two different factions. One said that the stirrup made a huge difference to the society, and the other side said it did no such thing.

The answer you have to get rid of is B. Knights and others were riding horses before the stirrup was introduced. If think you are supposed to answer D, but it is not exactly correct either.

A is definitely not correct. A lance, a battle horse, and armor were very expensive. Only the knights could afford such things.

C the stirrup did no such thing. The age of knights went on for many years after the stirrup was introduced.

The problem with D is that the primary benefit of the stirrup had to do with the lance. The stirrup made it easier to stay seated in combat.

Since I have eliminated everything but D, you are sort of forced to pick D as the answer, but I believe it is a mighty poor one.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
