The "powder keg of Europe" refers to the conditions present in Europe prior to World War I. This analogy likens the conditions of Europe to a barrel of gun powder. Harmless if left only, incredibly dangerous if lit. The "keg" consisted of "isms" to include nationalism, industrialism, imperialism, militarism, and odd ball, the alliance system. The Scientific Revolution sparked industrial innovation creating a need for new materials and markets which lead to Europe's "scramble" for territory throughout Africa and Asia. Colonies needed to be protected thus an increase in military spending and armaments. Success in these endeavors lead to a competition spirit in European countries creating nationalism as they grew. Lastly, alliances were needed to protect new colonies and from rising militaristic threats. This "keg" only needed a spark which came with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by a Serbian nationalist. This spark lit a fuse which is commonly considered the "blank check" issued by Germany to help Austria in any way they needed. This fuse then set off the conditions of the "keg".

Answer from: Quest

the kingdom was rich in goods like gold, iron, and salt. it established strong commercial ties with the regions governed by rome, egypt, and persia (arabia). aksum was a key location in this commercial network. trade was also facilitated with the introduction of the aksumite currency.

Answer from: Quest

clearcutting reproduces a new even-aged stand by completely removing the mature stand.

clearcutting as a silvicultural treatment has several characteristics:

it causes a sudden environmental change

it removes the seed source from the regeneration area

the configuration of the clearcut may affect seed dispersal

it begins a new rotation

it will eliminate some pests that require forest cover

overall, it temporarily removes the forest cover, transforming the forest community and environment.

clearcutting followed by artificial (seeded or planted) regeneration has several advantages:

we can avoid delay in restocking the site

we can introduce a selected species, seed source, and genotype

we can control arrangement and spacing

we can achieve uniformity in the new stand

we can overcome the problems associated with securing sufficient natural regeneration.

the shelterwood method involves the removal of most of the mature stand at the end of the rotation, but a portion of the mature stand is left standing. the shelterwood method serves three basic purposes:

to prepare the stand for production of abundant seed

to modify the environment in a way that promotes germination and survival of the selected species

to build up the amount and size of advance regeneration to ensure the prompt restocking of the new stand following overstory removal.

the shelterwood method involves a sequence of 3 cuttings:

preparatory cuttings: make the seed trees more vigorous and set the stage for regeneration. see our thinning page for more information.

establishment/seed cuttings: open up enough vacant growing space to allow establishment of the new regeneration.

removal cuttings: uncover the new crop to allow it to fill the growing space.

the residual trees in the shelterwood must:

be sturdy and windfirm

be able to survive exposure

flower and reproduce seed

be the best trees of the mature stand

keep in mind that the shelter trees must not occupy the entire site. a void must be created in order to make room for the new regeneration. the amount of shelter to leave will depend on the following factors:

species characteristics (seeding and shelter requirements)

the number of cuttings in the cutting sequence (1, 2, or 3)

landowner objectives

the size of the area to be regenerated

the final removal harvest level required to be profitable

the shelter must be removed before it impedes the growth of the new stand or threatens its survival.
