Mardi Gras refers to events of the Carnival celebrations that begin after Epiphany and end on the day before Ash Wednesday, known as Fat Tuesday. It originated from the French Catholic tradition of eating richer foods before the fasting season of Lent. Popular Mardi Gras traditions include wearing masks and costumes, dancing, sports, and parades. While not celebrated nationally in the US, historically French cities like New Orleans and Mobile have notable Mardi Gras celebrations that have become strongly associated with their cultures.

![The terms "Mardi Gras" ( /
ˈmɑrdiɡrɑː/), "Mardi Gras season", and
"Carnival season"in English, refer to
events of the Carnivalcelebrations,
beginning on or after Epiphany and
culminating on the day before Ash
Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for
"Fat Tuesday" (in ethnic English
tradition, Shrove Tuesday), referring to
the practice of the last night of eating
richer, fatty foods before the ritual
fasting of the Lenten season, which begins on Ash Wednesday. Related popular
practices are associated with celebrations before the fasting and religious
obligations associated with the penitentialseason of Lent. Popular practices
include wearing masks and costumes, overturning social conventions, dancing,
sports competitions, parades, etc. Similar expressions to Mardi Gras appear in
other European languages sharing the Christian tradition. In English, the day is
called Shrove Tuesday, associated with the religious requirement for confession
before Lent begins.
In many areas, the term "Mardi Gras" has come to mean
the whole period of activity related to the celebratory
events, beyond just the single day. In some US cities, it is
now called "Mardi Gras Day" or "Fat Tuesday".
While not observed nationally throughout the United States,
a number of traditionally ethnic French cities and regions in
the country have notable celebrations. Mardi Gras arrived
in North America as a French Catholic tradition.
In 1723, the capital of Louisiana was moved to New Orleans, founded in 1718.
[13] The tradition has expanded to the point that it became strongly associated
with the city in popular perception, and embraced by residents of New Orleans
beyond those of French or Catholic heritage. Mardi Gras celebrations are part of
the basis of the slogan, Laissez les bons temps rouler, (Let the good times roll)
and the nickname "Big Easy".[12] Mobile, Alabama, the former capital of New
France, also has a long tradition of celebrating Mardi Gras.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/americanholidays-mardigras-110510051541-phpapp01/85/American-holidays-mardi-gras-1-320.jpg)

migraine
Migraine is a common type of severe headache that affects 12-28% of people aged 15-55 worldwide. It often causes moderate to severe throbbing pain on one side of the head along with nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. While the exact cause is unclear, migraines involve changes in brain activity and blood vessel dilation that are triggered by factors like stress, hormones, food sensitivities and environmental changes. Treatment focuses on preventing migraines through lifestyle modifications, medications and alternative therapies as well as stopping attacks once they begin using over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers and anti-nausea drugs.

Roman empire
The Roman Empire spanned from 27 BC to 476 AD and had many important towns with a similar rectangular plan surrounded by walls and crossed by two central roads and a central square. Roman architecture used stone, brick and concrete to build practical structures like temples, tombs, theaters, administrative buildings, triumphal arches, and structures decorated with sculptures and mosaics copying Greek styles but adding realistic portraits and historical reliefs.
Ancient Greek culture
Ancient Greek culture was polytheistic, believing in gods that resembled humans but with special powers. Their religion also included heroes that were part human and part god. Greek art progressed from rigid archaic sculptures to more realistic classical and Hellenistic sculptures that showed emotion. Greek architecture was designed for ideal beauty, using stone and marble to create buildings with columns and double-sloped roofs.
Ancien Egypt
Ancient Egyptians developed hieroglyphic writing and used mathematics to control flooding of the Nile River. They built important structures like temples and tombs, and created sculptures and paintings inside tombs and temples depicting gods, leaders, and daily life. Egyptians were polytheistic and believed various gods were half-human and half-animal. They also believed in an afterlife, so they mummified corpses to preserve them by removing organs and placing the body in a coffin along with canopic jars containing organs.
Neolitic and metal ages
The document summarizes the Neolithic Period and the Metal Age. In the Neolithic Period, humans transitioned to an agricultural lifestyle, living sedentary lives in houses and worshipping stars and ancestors.

The Metal Age saw the development of metalworking with copper, bronze, and iron, bringing new inventions, industries, trade, and social stratification as some societies had greater access to metal. Art from this period included megalithic stone monuments.
Prehistory
Prehistory comes before history. It is divided into 3 stages - the Australopithecus stage featuring Australopithecus, the Homo habilis stage, and the Homo erectus stage. Homo sapiens emerged last and are modern humans who spread worldwide, made tools from stone and bone, and created art, distinguishing them from earlier species like Australopithecus who lived only in Africa and did not make tools or art.

Water is an unequally distributed and scarce resource, with only 2% of water on Earth being fresh water and 1.8% of that being frozen. Many countries, especially in Africa and Asia, do not have enough available fresh water, which can lead to people not having enough water to cook with or drink, needing to travel far distances to obtain water, risk of sickness from dirty water, and lack of sufficient food due to dehydrated crops and animals.

The four main causes that led to World War 1 were alliances between European countries that pulled them into war if one was attacked, imperialism and competition over colonies that increased tensions, militarism as countries engaged in an arms race, and nationalism as countries desired to prove their dominance. The immediate trigger was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist in 1914. This caused Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia and triggered the web of alliances to pull most European powers into the war. The war resulted in over 37 million casualties before an armistice was signed in 1918.

American holidays mardi gras
- 1. The terms "Mardi Gras" ( / ˈmɑrdiɡrɑː/), "Mardi Gras season", and "Carnival season"in English, refer to events of the Carnivalcelebrations, beginning on or after Epiphany and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday" (in ethnic English tradition, Shrove Tuesday), referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which begins on Ash Wednesday. Related popular practices are associated with celebrations before the fasting and religious obligations associated with the penitentialseason of Lent. Popular practices include wearing masks and costumes, overturning social conventions, dancing, sports competitions, parades, etc. Similar expressions to Mardi Gras appear in other European languages sharing the Christian tradition. In English, the day is called Shrove Tuesday, associated with the religious requirement for confession before Lent begins. In many areas, the term "Mardi Gras" has come to mean the whole period of activity related to the celebratory events, beyond just the single day. In some US cities, it is now called "Mardi Gras Day" or "Fat Tuesday". While not observed nationally throughout the United States, a number of traditionally ethnic French cities and regions in the country have notable celebrations. Mardi Gras arrived in North America as a French Catholic tradition. In 1723, the capital of Louisiana was moved to New Orleans, founded in 1718. [13] The tradition has expanded to the point that it became strongly associated with the city in popular perception, and embraced by residents of New Orleans beyond those of French or Catholic heritage. Mardi Gras celebrations are part of the basis of the slogan, Laissez les bons temps rouler, (Let the good times roll) and the nickname "Big Easy".[12] Mobile, Alabama, the former capital of New France, also has a long tradition of celebrating Mardi Gras.
