What is the difference between european jews and middle eastern jews?

As shown by DNA studies, all Jewish communities come from the Middle East originally. Later, during the Middle Ages the Sephardim were in the Mediterranean area (Spain, North Africa) and points east of it, while the Ashkenazim were to the north in France, Germany, Russia and Eastern Europe. This variety of locales has led to some differences in customs, but not in the Torah-laws themselves.See also:Why_did_the_Diaspora_begin


Why did the slave trade grow in the 1700s?

As more sugar plantations were created, farmers needed more workers so they needed more slaves. Slave owners also never felt like they had enough slaves, in other words they were very greedy, this caused more slaves being transpoted in the middle passage, the trade route from Europe to Africa, then the "middle" Africa to America. This was called the trianglular trade route.


Does Israel belong to asia or europe?

Israel is part of the continent of ASIA, specifically in the region called "the Middle East." "Southwest Asia" is also being slowly adopted as a more politically-correct alternative for the term "Middle East." Israel is very close both to North Africa and south-eastern Europe, but is not part of Africa or Europe. This is because the internationally accepted demarcation of the border between Asia and Africa is the Suez Canal; and the demarcation between Asia and Europe runs through the Urals and the Dardanelles, making Israel an Asian country.It is important to note that for UN Security Council rotations, Israel is considered part of the "Western Europe and Others Group" as the Arab Nations blocked its entry into the Middle East Group. It also shares a lot of legal and cultural traditions with Europe.It is also worth noting that like several other Middle Eastern and Caucasus countries, Israel is allowed to participate in the (primarily European) Eurovision song contest. Additionally, Israel plays in the European Football Cup.

Why do eastern and southern Africa have a milder and drier climate than those of West Africa?

Eastern and southern Africa tend to have a milder and drier climate compared to West Africa primarily due to their proximity to the Indian Ocean and the influence of the trade winds. The southeast trade winds bring moisture to eastern Africa, while the cold Benguela Current affects the climate of southern Africa. In contrast, West Africa is impacted by the warm, moisture-laden winds from the Atlantic Ocean, leading to higher temperatures and humidity.
