Answer 2

Jericho's been continuously occupied for nearly 10,000 years. At the end of the Ice Age, there was a few very unsettled climate changes that hampered the setting up of villages and settled communities. Initially the Jordan region in the middle east was home to communities that grew by hunting but a dip in the climate that went from warm to cold and dry forced them to abandon their villages. Eventually when the domestication of cereal crops allowed longer term towns, once the weather was a bit more predictable. A good book to read on this is After The Ice Age by Stephen Mithen. It covers the archaeological evidence of human cultures from 13000 BCE to about 6000BCE around the world.

Answer 3

Massacre of Amritsar. (April 13, 1919), incident in which British troops fired on a crowd of unarmed Indian protesters, killing a large number. It left a permanent scar on Indo-British relations and was the prelude to Mahatma Gandhi's Non-cooperation Movement of 1920-22.

In 1919 the British government of India enacted the Rowlatt Acts, extending its World War I emergency powers to combat subversive activities. At Amritsar, Punjab (Pañjab) district, about 10,000 demonstrators unlawfully protesting these measures confronted troops commanded by Brig. Gen. Reginald E.H. Dyer in an open space known as the Jallianwalla Bagh, which had only one exit. The troops fired on the crowd, killing an estimated 379 and wounding about 1,200, according to one official report. The shooting was followed by the proclamation of martial law, public floggings, and other humiliations. The Hunter Commission condemned General Dyer (1920), but the House of Lords praised his action, and a fund was raised in his honour.
