Why did Ngo Dih Diem and Eisenhower refuse to allow national elections in Vietnam as called for in the Geneva accords?

Ho Chi Minh had a "handle" on that program, he wasn't worried about it. It was Diem of South Vietnam who refused the elections...saying the communists might win it (something to the effect that they were fixed).


What lawyer warned the Greeks that Philip the second was a threat to freedom?

Demosthenes. He warned the Athenians to protect the Athenian hegemony over Greece.He was not, however a lawyer - there was no such trade in the Greek world at that time: people had to represent themselves in court. He was a professional speech-writer for others, and used this skill to start making speeches of his own, becoming influential in the Athenian peoples' assembly, where he took up the cause of bad mouthing Philip II of Macedon who was expanding his influence over the Greek world.**The orators of ancient Athens, could not publicly represent people or charge a fee to publicly represent people but they did write the legal speeches a person needed to represent himself. They were called logographers and considered the equivalent of today's lawyers to the ancient Athenians.Demosthenes(dih*MAHS*thuh*NEEZ)


Was the 18Th and 19Th century Native American languages simplier and more primative than European languages?

Definitely not.Some native languages are relatively straightforward to learn, once you get used to having different sounds than are used in European languages. Others are extremely difficult and highly complex languages with many compound word-phrases and composite elements.As an example, the Dine languages used by the Apache tribes and their cousins the Navajo are some of the most difficult and complex languages on the planet, with a large variety of noun classes including "animate", "round object", "long, stiff object" and "granular object". Very simple verbs in Navajo may translate into many words in English; for instance, the verb si' means "to cause a hafted object to move".An example Navajo text demonstrates the complexity of the language:Ashiiké tʼóó diigis léiʼ tółikaní łaʼ ádiilnííł dóó nihaa nahidoonih níigo yee hodeezʼą́ jiní. Áko tʼáá ałʼąą chʼil naʼatłʼoʼii kʼiidiilá dóó hááhgóóshį́į́ yinaalnishgo tʼáá áłah chʼil naʼatłʼoʼii néineestʼą́ jiní.
