<em><u>Liberation theology became popular in Latin America during the 1960s  as it restored the command of church from Upper class to the poor, whereas Christianity provided a tool for a better society and self-improvement. </u></em>

Further Explanation:

Liberation Theology or Christian theology is based on the principle of Marxism that deepens the concern for the poor and oppressed peoples. It was widely practiced in politics during the mid 19th century by reformers such as Leonardo Boff of Brazil, Juan Luis Segundo from Uruguay, Gustavo Gutierrez of Peru and Jon Sobrino of Spain.

The theology in Latin America during the mid 19th century was within the catholic churchagainst the poverty and injustice prevailing in Latin America. The term was first coined by the Gustavo Gutierrez a Peruvian Priest in 1971. He also wrote a book defining this movement. The theory helped to restore the authority of the church back to the lower section of the society or the poorer section for the establishment of a superior society.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Image 1: Fall of Berlin Wall

The Berlin Wall separated East and West Germany, and marked the fall of communism. This event is probably the most important event in the fall of communism, and was a result of years of hard work from many different countries and uprisings.

Image 2: 1956 Hungarian Uprising

The Hungarian Uprising was a revolution against the policies enforced by the USSR. This uprising played a part in starting a series of revolutions that occurred during 1989.

Image 3: Prague Spring

Prague Spring was also a mass protest in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. This lasted around six months before the Soviet Union invaded. This was also one more spark to light the fire of the revolutions of 1989.

Image 4: Romanian Revolution

The Romanian Revolution was a revolution during 1989 that was brought about as a result of years of unrest against the communist party. If the 1956 Hungarian Uprising or the Prague Spring didn’t happen, the Romanian Revolution most likely wouldn’t have either.

 

Image 5: Velvet Revolution

While the Velvet Revolution was a peaceful revolution, and wasn’t a major part in starting the fall of communism. However, it was rather the effect of the other uprisings that happened against communism.  

Summary:

These events are ordered by most important at the top, to least important at the bottom. The fall of the Berlin Wall is marked first, as this moment is known as the moment when Communism failed. The 1956 Hungarian Uprising is marked second because while this moment isn’t as famous as the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was the first uprising against the USSR, and against communism. This uprising inspired many other uprisings and revolutions to occur against communism. Prague Spring is marked third for many of the same reasons, and while it did inspire other uprisings and revolutions to occur, it wasn’t the first, or the last to happen. The Romanian Revolution is marked fourth, and was a result of the previous uprisings. This was the first violent revolution of 1989, but not the last. The velvet revolution is ranked last, as it was a revolution during 1989, but was a peaceful one. In conclusion, the list is ranked 4-5 as what/who inspired who, and number one is ranked as most famous.

Why was West Germany accepted into NATO in 1955?
Alexus [3.1K]
The entrance of West Germany into NATO was the final step in integrating that nation into the defense system of Western Europe. It was also the final nail in the coffin as far as any possibility of a reunited Germany in the near future. For the next 35 years, East and West Germany came to symbolize the animosities of the Cold War. In 1990, Germany was finally reunified; the new German state remained a member of NATO.
