How do the origins

of the Romance languages and Germanic languages differ?

Why has the Jewish population fallen in Europe?

I read the given text for this, but I can't figure them out

Thanks, this has really helped a lot. But, I have more question that I am unsure of.

How do the economies of Germany and the United Kingdom differ?

When you look at their economies, they seem very similar, so what differences could there be?

Your answer looks good.

Remember that Great Britain is an island nation and doesn't have the natural resources that other European countries have.

Thanks, that helps. But, could you help me on the second one?

Google Holocaust. Some Jews were able to leave Europe before it got too bad. I knew one woman whose grandmother took her out of Germany in 1934 and raised her in Hong Kong. The rest of the family was killed in the Holocaust.

I believe in modern times, probably between early 2000s to now.

Is it possible that the question is asking about the period from about 1920 to 1940?

I doubt it, considering the unit is called "Europe Today"

I put my answer as

The two economies rely heavily on different resources, as all European countries do. These resources are the foundation for all of the rest of the economy, so when changed, they are wildly different.

Do you think this works?

To understand how the origins of the Romance languages and Germanic languages differ, we need to delve into their historical development.

The Romance languages (such as Spanish, Italian, French) trace their roots back to the Latin language of the Roman Empire. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Latin evolved differently in different regions, eventually forming distinct Romance languages.

The Germanic languages (such as English, German, Dutch) have a different origin. They originated from a common ancestral language called Proto-Germanic. This language was spoken by Germanic tribes in ancient times, and over time, it split into separate languages as different tribes migrated and settled in various parts of Europe.

Now, regarding the decline of the Jewish population in Europe, there are multiple factors at play. While it's challenging to cover all aspects here, I can provide some possible reasons:

1. Historical Persecution: Throughout history, the Jewish population in Europe experienced periods of discrimination, persecution, and even expulsion. This persecution, such as the Spanish Inquisition or the Holocaust, led to substantial losses.

2. Emigration: In different periods, Jews have emigrated from Europe for various reasons. Economic opportunities, seeking religious freedom, or fleeing persecution pushed many Jewish communities to leave Europe, resulting in a decline in population.

3. Assimilation: Due to cultural and social pressures, some Jewish communities gradually assimilated into the wider European society. This cultural assimilation often led to a decline in Jewish population as Jewish customs and practices were sometimes abandoned by future generations.

4. Low Birth Rates: In recent times, some European countries have seen a decline in overall birth rates, including among Jewish communities. This demographic trend has contributed to a decrease in the Jewish population over time.

Remember, to fully understand these topics, it may be helpful to refer to the specific text you mentioned. It's also recommended to explore additional historical sources for a more comprehensive understanding.

The Romance languages come from Latin.
