<h3><u>What is an atomic bomb?</u></h3>
  • The atomic bomb and nuclear bombs are potent weapons that generate explosive energy through nuclear processes. During World War II, scientists created the first nuclear weapons technology.
  • Only twice in the history of warfare have atomic bombs been deployed, both times by the US against Japan at the close of World War II, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
  • Following that conflict, there was a time of nuclear proliferation, and during the Cold War, the US and the USSR engaged in a global nuclear arms race for domination.
  • Fission processes provide the energy for weapons like atomic bombs. Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are both used in thermonuclear weapons, such as hydrogen bombs.

On August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively, the United States dropped two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two attacks still stand as the sole instances of nuclear weapons being used in armed combat, killing between 129,000 and 226,000 people, the majority of whom were civilians.

What form of protest was organized by James L. Farmer, Jr.?
juin [17]

Answer:

James L. Farmer, Jr, was the organizer of the Freedom Rides.

Explanation:

Freedom Rides were a form of resistance that emerged from the civil rights movement. The so-called Freedom Riders helped abolish state-sanctioned racial segregation by taking suburban buses to the southern states to implement the Supreme Court's rulings that prohibited segregation in public transport, restaurants, and waiting rooms.

The first Freedom Ride, led by James L. Farmer Jr. left Washington, D.C. on May 4, 1961 towards New Orleans. The joint drive of whites and blacks provoked violent protests, gave rise to the civil rights movement and first made American citizens and later the whole world aware of the problem. Participants were arrested in part for trespassing, unlawful assembly, and violations of state and local laws.
