What caused the battle of Plassey?
The following reasons contributed to the outbreak of this significant war:
(a) The English wanted to establish their political, administrative and economic supremacy over Bengal for which it was essential to wage war against the Nawab. So they wanted to dethrone the Nawab, Sirajuddaula and denthroned Mir Jafar their puppet in his place and fought the decisive battle of Plessey.
(b) The relatives of Sirajuddaula opposed him. The English supported Shaukat Jang but they failed to remove Sirajuddaula. As Sirajuddaula began to watch their activities very minutely, they decided to remove him from the throne by all means.
(c) The English never respected the Nawab, hence the feeling of hatred also developed in the heart of the Nawab for the English. However, the Nawab wanted to strike a compromise with them but he failed and war broke out between the two.
(d) The British knew that in spite of all power and efficiency, the army of Sirajuddaula would prove to be worthless because of the traitors. The English concluded a secret treaty with Mir Jafar on 4thJune 1757. In enhanced the power of the English. However, the army of Sirajuddaula was strong enough to defeat the English but the teacher of Mir Jaffar mined him.
(e) Sirajuddaula thought the French to be more trust worthy than the English. He was also sad at the loss of Chandanagar and his defeat at the hands of the English.
The English pressurised the Nawab to outset and French from India and not to allow them to continue their trade in India. Moreover, some Frenchmen were serving in the army of the Nawab, so he could not out all the French from Bengal. Hence, the war was inevitable between the two.
(f) Clive had twice defeated the Indian army and he considered the Indian army no more than a mob which could be terrified by the sound of the bullet. As Clive had joined hands with Mir Jafar, the Commander of Sirajuddaula. Durlabh Rai and some other military personnel, he felt his position to be quite strong and so could think of making an invasion against Sirajuddaula who was surrounded by traitors.

What causes the increasing population in the Philippines every year?
Population explosion is considered as one of the undisputable alarming obstacles that stand on the path of the less developed countries. These countries produce great numbers in terms of human resources because the birth rate is much higher than in the rich countries, but the rate of employment and production in the poor countries is very low. Definitely this is a very serious problem that the government should never take for granted. The Philippines belong to the group of these "less developed countries." And as we all know, the growth of population in our country is unstoppable. In fact, the Philippine population is one of the fastest growing countries in the world. It is estimated that 3,000 Filipino babies are born every day, 100,000 every month, or one million a year to round u In point of fact, our national government declared many programs that emphasize the importance of family planning in order to reduce the growth rate of the population. However, because of some negative effects brought by these artificial methods, and, as mentioned earlier, these cultural and religious bases, many couples do not use them. But most of them have their own individual solutions, and disparities over formulas had often blocked efforts to come up with a solution. So many families are not aware of the programs regarding the population explosion that we have now. For this reason, our country becomes poorer, and the people get stuck in this sticky situation of poverty and squalor. In this lies the problem: at first, the babies need milk, diapers and vitamins. Providing them creates a large number of problems that demand the fullest utilization of the nation's resources. And when they do, they need education, which requires more school structures; they need food, clothing, houses, jobs, etc. This rapid growth of population is quite hard to endure for it really affects both the social and economic condition of our country. However, population growth cannot be controlled easily because of cultural and religious reasons, not to mention, the Philippines is known to be very conservative and very much Catholic, in its broadest sense. But the trouble is, babies grow up. These are basic needs that must be filled. There will be more babies born 20 years from now than the number of babies that are born this day. There are more babies being born today than there were in the 1970s.
What contributed to the unity of the Muslim empire?
Amswer 1
They taught the Qur'an and live off the story of Mohammad.
Answer 2
The Islamic Caliphate only held together as one empire for 120 years (630 C.E. to 750 C.E.). This is less time than the United States was around and roughly the equivalent time of the worldwide British Empire (1830-1950). Therefore, it is not unrealistic or special that the Rightly-Guided Caliphate and its successor state the Umayyad Caliphate remained united. There was a strong intent to integrate the conquered populations and many in the territories wished to become Muslim due either to conviction or to financial incentive. When the Abbassids overthrew the Umayyads in the Middle East, the Islamic Empire broke up into numerous Caliphates and Sultanates (such as the Umayyads, Abbassids, Idrissids, Aghlabids), returning to the natural state of disunity. The Abbassid Caliphate would further break down into in the next two centuries into the Fatimid, Ayyubid, and Buyid Caliphates. The fact that the Ottomans became the spiritual successor State to the Rightly-Guided Caliphate by way of the Umayyads by way of the Abbassids by way of the Ayyubids by way of the Mamluks by way of the Seljuks, is purely incidental and only occurred because the central Middle East was consistently under the control of an Empire that was Islamic. These empires were held together by institutions such as the governates (wilayat), roads, and police/soldiers, just like every other empire. It just happens that track record of violence and repression is better for Islamic Empires.

Why did Cambodia change their name to Kampuchea and then back to Cambodia?
Cambodia has had several name changes - when the new ruling party wanted to erase all traces of the previous one. The following names have been used since 1954. * Kingdom of Cambodia under the rule of the monarchy from 1953 through 1970; * Khmer Republic under the Lon Nol led government from 1970 to 1975; * Democratic Kampucheaunder the rule of the communist Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979; * People's Republic of Kampuchea under the rule of the Vietnamese-sponsored government from 1979 to 1989; * State of Cambodia under the rule of the United Nations transitional authority from 1989 to 1993; * Once again Kingdom of Cambodia after the restoration of the monarchy in 1993. Edit- Kampuchea is a name that the Khmer people prefer to call themselves. The word "chear" means descendant. Kampu is from the Brahmin prince Kambu Swayambhuva who settled in the area of Cambodia and defeated the Naga race that dwells there. The name, Kampuchea would then refer to "The Descendant of Prince Kambu" The name Cambodia is a "western" mispronounciation of Kampuchea. The French first called it Cambodja (Kampuchea). Kampuchea is a closer written pronounciation of how the Khmer people say it. The Khmer Rouge believed their country should return back into the Old Ways and renounced all western influence and western ideas. During their time, they used "Kampuchea" as the true name of the country. Most Khmer people use Kampuchea to identify their country, while some few who are heavily influenced by western ways refer to their country as "Srok Khmer", which translate to "Khmer Land".
