    CHAPTER SIX GENERAL INFORMATION • Iowa's Diversified Economy • Fish and Wildlife Resources • Agriculture • Quick Facts about Iowa • Iowa's Labor Force • Legal Holidays • Travel and Tourism • Veterans Organizations • State Park and Recreation Areas 146 IOWA'S DIVERSIFIED ECONOMY For more information about Iowa's economy contact the Iowa Department of Economic Development, 200 E. Grand Ave., Des Moines 50319; 515-281-3251. Iowa is known throughout the world as America's heartland, the source of an abundant supply of top quality agricultural goods. The natural wealth of our soil has provided us with an enduring base upon which to build a diversified economy. While the trend of consolidation has resulted in a diminishing farm population, the contribution of agriculture to Gross State Product assures that all Iowans maintain an interest and awareness in that portion of our economy. But it would be a mistake to restrict perception of the state to farm-related goods and services, or to conclude that all Iowans are farmers. The information in this section will help put Iowa's economy into correct perspective. Iowa's top personal income source: Service sector It's clear from these charts that only a small percentage of our population derives their personal income directly from agriculture. But indirectly, agricultuVe-generated dollars have spawned vigorous growth in other sectors. Because our economy is in the early stages of diversification, we're still vulnerable to fluctuations in demand for agricultural products. As our new industries mature,

  • Myth and Historical Facts About Rome and the Huns Leader Attila
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 12, 5299-5310 OPEN ACCESS Myth and Historical Facts About Rome and the Huns Leader Attila Anar T. Sadyrovaa, Muratbek M. Imangazinova, Saylauhan K. Kozhagulova, Gulmira S. Suleimenovaa and Arailym A. Amanzholovaa aZhetysu State University named after Ilyas Zhansugurov, Taldykorgan, KAZAKHSTAN ABSTRACT The article reviewed the history of Rome and Attila, their influence on the political and social situation in Europe. The aim of the article is to study the origins of Rome, its crisis and destruction. It also considers the impact on the collapse of the Empire, the impact that Attila had on the destruction of Rome and the analysis of Attila as a political and military leader, his history, heritage and influence on the cultures of European and Turkic people. The article also tells about the life of the Huns. The principles of historicism, objectivism, dialectical unity of the historical and logical are applied in the article, as well as the comparative-historical and historical-analytical methods. Abstraction and generalization were applied from the general methods of scientific knowledge. The analysis of foreign and domestic historians is undertaken, and the folklore of European countries, in particular the North German and Norse tribes is considered in the article. The results of the article show social, economic and political factors that influenced the emergence and decline of Rome, describe Attila's personality as a prudent and cruel leader, and the motives that drove him like a lust for power and expansionist views. The formation of Attila as a legend contributed to European militarized tribes, as well as his pursued policy of cult of personality.

    Вестник СПбГУ. История. 2020. Т. 65. Вып. 4 The Theory of the Hun Origin in Contemporary Bulgaria E. A. Koloskov For citation: Koloskov E. A. The Theory of the Hun Origin in Contemporary Bulgaria. Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. History, 2020, vol. 65, issue 4, рp. 1245–1258. https://doi.org/10.21638/11701/spbu02.2020.414 The article is devoted to the history of the formation and transformation of the theory of the Huns in contemporary Bulgaria through the prism of the political history of the country from the beginning of the debate about the origin of Bulgarians up to present day. The article exam- ines how political reality impacted the processes of shaping scholarly and educational images, i.e. constructing a “convenient” usable past by the Bulgarian academic and non-academic cir- cles. The main aspect in the study is related to the question of various interpretations of the ethnic origin of the Bulgars, the Huns and the role of the Slavic factor in the ethnogenesis of the contemporary Bulgarians. The milestones of the difficult history of Bulgaria and changes in political regimes have become the reasons for rejecting “Slavic” origin or, in some case, returning to it depending on external and internal circumstances. Today the Hun theory in all its variations and interpretations lies outside the professional scope of academic circles but is becoming the domain for various marginals. However, increasing activity of the right and the far-right in the politics of Europe capitalizing on the 2015 refugee crisis might return to the mainstream of official academic discourse the theory of the Hun The upcoming challenges of foreign policy (Euro-skepticism, ambitious projects outside the EU framework) and internal political issues (the question of national minorities) may also have a significant impact on this issue.

  • His350 Christian F. Vegard
    From Nomads to Conquerors. A Study of Networks, Violence, and the Social Powers of Attila and the Huns in Late Antiquity. Master Thesis Christian F. Vegard The Institute for Human Studies University of Bergen May 2020 Page !1 of !119 «Attila was lord over all the Huns and almost the sole earthly ruler of all the tribes of Scythia; a man marvellous for his glorious fame among all nations.» (Getica, XXXIV, 178) Page !2 of !119 Sammendrag. I denne oppgaven har jeg studert Hunerne og deres undersåtter i lys av de forskjellige nettverkene av sosial makt som oppstod da Huner-Imperiet hadde sin storhetstid i en kort, men hektisk periode i sen-antikken. Hunernes forhold til Romerne har fått mye oppmerksomhet, men få ressurser har blitt dedikert til undersåttene deres og de sosiale nettverkene som oppstod mellom de og Hunerne. Derfor er denne oppgaven en original studie av et felt om Hunerne som ikke har blitt utført før. Jeg har brukt Max Weber sine teorier om legitime politiske styresystemer, som er inndelt i Legal Autoritet, Tradisjonell Autoritet, og Karismatisk Autoritet. Den siste er hovedfokuset, men det har og vist seg at Tradisjonell Autoritet var gjeldende. Teoriene om vold i nettverk og samfunn av Douglass North har fungert som en bro mellom Max Weber og Michael Mann. I oppgaven har jeg hovedsakelig brukt de sosiale teoriene til Michael Mann, der jeg har analysert Hunerne og undersåttene gjennom IEMP-modellen hans. Dermed er oppgaven delt inn i fire kapitler, med en konklusjon for hvert av de: I Ideologi har jeg først og fremst sett på felles religion og oppførsel, men også dedikert ressurser til studie av gruppe-identitet og etnisitet.

When I read the book I kept confusing Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan. Not without good reason, as it turns out. While the two barbarian conquerors lived and ruled about 700 years apart, they both came from nomadic tribes that originated in or around Mongolia. Both are considered two of the most fearsome invaders that Asia and Europe have ever seen. If this article is about Attila the Hun, why mention Genghis Khan at all?

They terrorized Mulan’s village and (in reality) a huge area of China.

  • About Invasions of Roman Empire
    CK_4_TH_HG_P087_242.QXD 10/6/05 9:02 AM Page 110 II. Europe in the Middle Ages Ireland is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the west and the Irish Sea on the east. The Irish Sea separates Ireland from England and Wales. The North Channel lies between Northern Ireland and Scotland. England is separated from France and Europe by the English Channel, a body of water that connects the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. Its northern end is called the Strait of Dover, and north of that is the North Sea. The North Sea sep- arates northern England and Scotland from Norway, Denmark, and other coun- tries in northwestern Europe. The English Channel is 300 miles (483 km) long and is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean. At its narrowest, the Channel is 21 miles (34 km) wide and at its widest, 112 miles (180 km). The fact that Great Britain is an island has been of great strategic importance in its history. After William the Conqueror and his Normans attacked in 1066, no army has invaded it since. Separated from Europe, Great Britain was able to insulate itself from some of the political and social movements that swirled across Europe. B.

  • Changes in North Atlantic Oscillation Drove Population Migrations And
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Changes in North Atlantic Oscillation drove Population Migrations and the Collapse of the Received: 2 February 2017 Accepted: 27 March 2017 Western Roman Empire Published: xx xx xxxx B. Lee Drake Shifts in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) from 1–2 to 0–1 in four episodes increased droughts on the Roman Empire’s periphery and created push factors for migrations. These climatic events are associated with the movements of the Cimbri and Teutones from 113–101 B.C., the Marcomanni and Quadi from 164 to 180 A.D., the Goths in 376 A.D., and the broad population movements of the Migration Period from 500 to 600 A.D. Weakening of the NAO in the instrumental record of the NAO have been associated with a shift to drought in the areas of origin for the Cimbri, Quadi, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Huns, and Slavs. While other climate indices indicate deteriorating climate after 200 A.D. and cooler conditions after 500 A.D., the NAO may indicate a specific cause for the punctuated history of migrations in Late Antiquity. Periodic weakening of the NAO caused drought in the regions of origin for tribes in antiquity, and may have created a powerful push factor for human migration. While climate change is frequently considered as a threat to sustainability, its role as a conflict amplifier in history may be one of its largest impacts on populations. At its height, the Roman Empire controlled a region including modern-day England, the southern half of Continental Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East.
