By requesting international assistance to address human rights breaches, the Congolese people started to respond to Belgian torture.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

In the Congo Free state, where he held sway from 1885 until 1908, King Leopold II of Belgium forced the locals to work hard labor and exploited their resources, particularly their rubber. At the time, rubber was an economically viable product, and the natives of the Congo who were forced to labor on the plantations were given quotas or targets that they had to meet. In the photographs, you can see that their bodily parts were cut apart because they didn't reach these goals.

An international call for aid resulted from these actions. The British government gave Roger Casement, a consul, the task of looking into Congo's violations of human rights. King Leopold II of Belgium was deposed on November 15, 1908, as a result of his eyewitness report.

In conclusion, the people of the Congo demanded international assistance to address human rights violations in response to the torture inflicted upon them under Belgian authority.

What danger of imperialism does Kipling refer to in his poem?
Simora [160]

Answer:

The answer is A. Imperialism can cause violence and resistance from native people.

Explanation:

The poem, White Man's Burden was written by Rudyard Kipling and published in 1899. The poem is was written during the US-Philippine conflict, and urges United States to "Join" the rising imperialism and hold the burden of an "Empire".

Although some people consider the poem to be somewhat racist and discriminating, the poem very well shows the contemporary views and opinions of the imperialistic nations at the time.

The answer is option A because,

In the poem, Rudyard tries to show that Imperialists need to colonize and help the indigenous people to develop and civilize. However, according to him, these native people will not repay their masters well.

One of these ways that the subjects repay their masters is found in the third stanza.  There, Kipling tells us that all the work that the white people do will end up being for nothing.  They will work hard to try to end famine and war, but it will not work.  

  • Look at the stanza,

"when your goal is nearest

The end for others sought,

Watch sloth and heathen Folly

Bring all your hopes to nought."

In other words, the subject people will repay their masters by destroying everything they have been working for. Like violence and resistant from native people.

Why does Churchill believe an invasion of British soil is not likely to occur in the near future?
andreev551 [17]
Hello!

Churchill believes that an invasion of British soil is not likely to occur in the near future because the enemy would have to cross the heavily guarded sea to get there. 

In his famous speech, "Their finest hour", given on 1940, Churchill said that for the Germans to cross the English Channel, they would need to have a large armada, that would be "intercepted long before it reaches the coast". There would be many obstacles in the way of an invading Navy, such as minefields, air bombings and the British Navy itself.  

Have a nice day!
