Explanation:

After the discovery of America, Europe in the 16th century began a race for exploration to find wealth and riches in the New World. Early French explorers focused on the rivers because of the furs. The fur was from Beavers, who need water to survive and lived around rivers, ponds, swamps, and lakes. French traded with the Indians for furs which they took back to there homeland to get most of the profit out of it. Furs in Europe was seen as a luxury item and showed the wealth of the person.  

after the roman empire fell, some of its cultural achievements lasted for some time and others were lost. lost achievements include architecture , coins, and literacy. however, several things remained, such as the language. people may not have spoken this language in every city, but it influenced the languages they did speak. they also created the julian , which was commonly used until the eighteenth century.

so they can differentiate themselves from others as they saw themselves as the superior race. the star was basically a symbol that meant you are a less of a person than i am because of my race. the star was also degrading for those who had to wear it because they were aware of this and the nazis used the notion to make them feel less like a person.
