The United Nations had difficulty in drafting a definition of terrorism because the characteristics of terrorism are hard to define.

There isn't exist a current agreement pertaining to a universal legal definition of the term terrorism. However, there has been some debate regarding the possible existence of an, at least partial, customary definition of terrorism.

To define the term terrorism it is necessary to take into account the following key elements:

1. the perpetration of a criminal act (such as murder, kidnapping, hostage-taking, arson, and so on), or threatening such an act;

2. the intent to expand fear among the population which may cause public danger or directly or indirectly coerce a national or international authority to take some action, or to refrain from taking it;

3. when the act entails a transnational element.

CHRONOLOGY

Japan, 1800–1900 A.D.

Overview

In the nineteenth century, Japan experiences a dramatic shift from the conservative, isolationist policies of the shōgun-dominated

Edo period

to the rapid and widespread drive to modernize and engage with the rest of the world that characterizes the Meiji Restoration. During the first half of the century, decades of fiscal and social disruption caused by the growth of a market economy and a complex monetary system in a country that is still officially based on agriculture, which supports both the farming and privileged but unproductive

samurai classes

, continues to weaken the country in general and the

Tokugawa regime

in particular. Increasingly aggressive intrusions by Western powers not only puts pressure on Japan but convinces its political leaders that the Seclusion Policy has limited the country’s participation in technological advances and worldwide changes and also handicapped the economy by restricting its involvement in global trade. Taking advantage of the disruption caused by these internal and external crises, in 1867 several powerful daimyo (regional warlords) band together and overthrow Shōgun Yoshinobu (1837–1913), forcing him to resign authority. Marching into the imperial capital Kyoto, they “restore” Emperor Mutsuhito (1852–1912) to power and establish the Meiji (“enlightened rule”) Restoration.

In the name of Emperor Meiji, numerous striking and far-reaching social, political, and economic changes are legislated through a series of edicts. Japan also opens its borders, sending several high-ranking expeditions abroad and inviting foreign advisors—including educators, engineers, architects, painters, and scientists—to assist the Japanese in rapidly absorbing modern technology and Western knowledge. Throughout the century, however, the drive to Westernize is paralleled by continued isolationist tendencies and a desire to resist foreign influences. Eventually, as has happened numerous times in the nation’s history, after the Japanese assimilate what has been borrowed, they use these imports to formulate a new but distinctly Japanese modern society.

Describe the social and political factors in Germany during the Nazi regime that led to the persecution and extermination of min

MrRa [10]

Hello,

There were several different factors that allowed for the persecution and extermination of minority groups. For example: Hitlers feelings about these groups were expressed in the book he wrote and his speeches to the German people. Since he had absolute control over the government and military, he could have individuals he didn't like killed at any time he would like. Also keep in mind economic problems were the Jewish people. These posters and speeches were spread so often that people started to believe them. This allowed for the extermination and persecution of individuals in Germany, as average citizens saw nothing wrong with getting rid of these people who were causing the problems.
