Maya Lin is an American Designer and Architect. She became famous for winning a public design competition for the Vietnan Veterans Memorial in 1981. She achieved this by beating 1421 other competitors who also submitted their work to the contest.

The election of her work was controversial due to the fact that she was of Asian ethnicity and feelings towards people from this region were not very friendly after the recent Vietnam War.

Answer:Emperador romano es el término utilizado por los historiadores para referirse a los gobernantes del Imperio romano tras el final de la República romana.

En la Antigua Roma no existía el título de «emperador romano», sino que este título era más bien una abreviatura práctica para una complicada reunión de cargos y poderes. A pesar de la popularidad actual del título, el primero en ostentarlo realmente fue Miguel I Rangabé a principios del siglo IX, cuando se hizo llamar Basileus Rhomaion (‘emperador de los romanos’). Hay que tener en cuenta que en aquella época el significado de Basileus había cambiado de ‘soberano’ a ‘emperador’. Tampoco existía ningún título o rango análogo al título de emperador, sino que todos los títulos asociados tradicionalmente al emperador tenían su origen en la época republicana.

La discusión sobre los emperadores romanos está influenciada en gran medida por el punto de vista editorial de los historiadores. Los mismos romanos no compartían los modernos conceptos monárquicos de «imperio» y «emperador». Durante su existencia, el Imperio romano conservó todas las instituciones políticas y las tradiciones de la República romana, incluyendo el Senado y las asambleas.

En general, no se puede describir a los emperadores como gobernantes de iure. Oficialmente, el cargo de emperador era considerado como el «primero entre iguales» (primus inter pares), y muchos de ellos no llegaron a ser gobernantes de facto, sino que frecuentemente fueron simples testaferros de poderosos burócratas, funcionarios, mujeres y generales.

Answer:  The HOLOCAUST

Context/details:

The Holocaust is a term used to describe the systematic mass slaughter of European Jews and others in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.

Holocaust" is a term that means "burning the whole thing."  It comes from terms related to burnt offerings of animals in ancient religions. Essentially, the unwanted Jews and others in Germany were treated like animals to be slaughtered.  You can find appearances of the term "holocaust" in use already during World War II, such as the records of Britain's House of Lords in 1943 noting that a member there had asserted that "the Nazis go on killing" and urging some relaxing of immigration rules so that "some hundreds, and possibly a few thousands, might be enabled to escape from this <u>holocaust</u>.”  But the term gained its main currency as historians in the 1950s began to use the term in reference to the Nazi's campaign of genocide.

By the way, the term "genocide" is another that came into use around the same time.  Raphael Lemkin, a Polish legal scholar (of Jewish ethnicity) had been studying the problem of mass killings of a people group since the 1920s, in regard to Turkish slaughter of Armenians in 1915.  He coined the term "genocide" in 1944, in reference also to the Holocaust.  The term uses Greek language roots and means "killing of a race" of people.  Lemkin served as an advisor to Justice Robert Jackson, the lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials.  "Crimes against humanity" was the charge used at the Nuremberg trials, since no international legal definition of "genocide" had yet been accepted.  Ultimately, Lemkin was able to persuade the United Nations to accept the definition of genocide and codify it into international law.

Brilliant_brown [7]
Perhaps the greatest shortcoming of the Progressive movement was that it lacked any real political prowess, since most in Congress were the very corrupt people the movement itself was trying to overtake.
