Malala Yousafzai

The Nobel Peace Prize 2014

Born: 12 July 1997, Mingora, Pakistan

Residence at the time of the award: United Kingdom

Prize motivation: “for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education”

Prize share: 1/2

For the right of every child to receive an education

Malala Yousafzai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her fight for the right of every child to receive an education. She was born in the Swat Valley in Pakistan. When the Islamic Taliban movement took control of the valley in 2008, girls’ schools were burned down. Malala kept a diary of the events, which was published in 2009 by BBC Urdu. In her diary she spoke out against the Taliban’s terrorist regime. An American documentary film made Malala internationally famous.

It was not long before the Taliban threatened her life. In 2012, Malala was shot in the head on a school bus by a Taliban gunman. She survived, but had to flee to England and live in exile there because a fatwa was issued against her.

In 2013, TIME magazine named Malala one of “The 100 Most Influential People in the World.” On her 16th birthday she spoke in the United Nations. In her speech Malala called for the equal right to education for girls all over the world, and became a symbol of this cause.

To what extent was the United States in the 20th century an empire?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

To a considerable extent.

Explanation:

The 20th century saw the growth of America as a global power. Before WW2, her influence was most keenly felt in Central and South America, which had been the case since the Monroe Doctrine. They also had a colonial relationship with the Philippines during this period.

After WW2, intervention in US foreign policy replaced isolationism as the need was felt to contain communism and the Soviet Union, and after 1949 China. This led to far greater involvement in European affairs and direct military action in Korea and Vietnam.

The USA also became involved in conflicts in Africa as well as the Arab-Israeli conflict, backing nationalist movements and governments which were seen as friendly.

Were these relations imperialist. Yes in that they were not based on an equitable distribution of power between the USA and those she supported. American self-interest, both politically and economically was at the forefront of US foreign policy throughout the 20th century.

Examples would include the overthrowal of the Mossadeq government in Iran in the 50's to secure Iranian oil, and the same in Chile in 1973 when the Allende government was replaced in a CIA organized coup by a brutal military dictatorship again to protect US economic interests. The US also supported the Mafia backed Batista dictatorship in Cuba, and right wing death squads in El Salvador and Honduras in the 70's.

US involvement in Vietnam and indeed the illegal bombing and invasion of Cambodia is a litany of disastrous decisions to protect US interests and the heroin coming out of The Golden Triangle through US army customs. The list is endless.

after the civil war ,why did the federal government try to help the African Americans to the northern status?
Alenkinab [10]
I'm assuming by "status," you mean "states." If not, please correct me so I can correct my answer.

The federal government knew that African-Americans would face backlash from Southern White males, so they wanted to prevent that from occurring at all.

I hope this answer helped you! If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask! :)

What ideas inspired thimas jefferson aw he drafted the american decleration of independence​
adell [148]

Answer: Thomas Jefferson was inspired by John Locke's ideas.

Explanation:

(he defended the claim that men are by nature free and equal against claims that God had made all people naturally subject to a monarch.) John Locke originally considered the idea of "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Though this is where most of his inspiration came from, he was also influenced by the "Bill of rights" and the "Magna Carta". Hope this helps and wish you luck.
