Will give brainly!
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

In 1859, a man in Solferino, Italy, watched as 40,000 people died due to a war. His name was John Henry Dunant. Dunant led a group of volunteers to help those wounded people, as hospitals were overflowing. Dunant made a pamphlet in 1862 called "a Memory of Solferino" which he told everyone about what had happened. The pamphlet ended with the plea, "Would it not be possible to found and organize in all civilized countries permanent societies of volunteers who in time of war would give help to the wounded without regard for their nationality?" His idea became well known, and a meeting was held in Geneva, Switzerland, Dunant's very own country. They discussed the formation of those societies. It was attended by people from 16 countries and many charitable organizations. They formed the idea for the soon to be Red Cross.

They persuaded their own individual governments to ratify what is now known as the first Geneva Convention. By 1869, many red cross societies were formed, and 22 countries signed the Geneva Convention. There were four Geneva Conventions all together. The first one protects victims of land battles, the second protects victims of sea battles, the third Convention protects prisoners of war, and the fourth and final convention protects enemy aliens. These principles make up over half of the international welfare laws. Their seven main principles are, Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary service, and Unity.

The modern red cross has over 200,000,000 volunteers from 135 countries. All across the world these people are working to achieve the same goal.

How did George Washington help prevent the national debt from tearing the country apart?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

For Presidents’ Day, we need to remember the strong leadership that George Washington gave our nation during the Revolutionary War and afterward, when he became our first president. His integrity and courage in times of crisis make him an exceptional role model for students today.

One neglected feather in Washington’s cap is his commitment to having the U. S. be a financially sound nation. He knew that no nation ever became strong–or remained strong–on borrowed money. Financial integrity and national power go hand in hand. Thus, he committed the U. S. to paying off all debts incurred in fighting the Revolutionary War. When he took office in 1789, the U. S. owed about $41 million in IOUs to thousands of merchants, bankers, and citizens who loaned money to Washington and other leaders for guns, supplies, and food. Sometimes those IOUs are called “continental bonds.” We also owed about $11 million to the French for financial (and military) aid in overcoming the British.

Some American politicians wanted to renege on these debts, or only pay part of them off. But Washington and his Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton recognized that U. S. credit and international integrity could only be obtained by paying back our creditors all that we owed them. Thus, Washington supported a tariff–usually 5%–on all imports, and he supported a whiskey tax as well as the two methods of raising money to pay off our national debt. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to avoid “the accumulation of debt,” and asked them not to throw “upon posterity the [debt] burden, which we ourselves ought to bear.”

What was the result of Washington’s effort to set high fiscal standards for the U. S.? Americans followed his leadership and usually spent less federal money that was taken in by the tariff and the whiskey tax. In less than forty years after Washington’s presidency, the entire national was eliminated and the U. S. actually (for a brief period) was a nation of surpluses and no debt. We had laid the foundation to become a great nation thanks in part to the excellent leadership of George Washington.
