Russia has been a notoriously difficult country to invade, given its large size and generally large population throughout history. Freezing winters have also played a role in helping protect Russia, which was famously noted in 1812 during Napoleon's failed invasion of Russia. In response to European nations who saw the new French government as threat to the balance of powers, Napoleon annexed various parts of Europe and launched an invasion of Russia with over 600,000 soldiers. Napoleon invaded in the summer of 1812, but long fighting and a scorched earth policy by Russian forces prolonged the fighting and when a harsh winter arrived, the French army that lacked in supplies was reduced to under 100,000 soldiers. Eventually, Napoleon conceded his defeat, and left Russia in December, 1812.

By its terms, it provides that the enumeration of specific rights should not be “construed to deny or disparage” other rights

Why does black history matter for john don?

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of blacks in U.S. history. Also known as African American History Month, the event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world, including Canada and the United Kingdom, also devote a month to celebrating black history.
