<h2>The End of Apartheid</h2>
Apartheid, the Afrikaans name given by the white-ruled South Africa's Nationalist Party in 1948 to the country's harsh, institutionalized system of racial segregation, came to an end in the early 1990s in a series of steps that led to the formation of a democratic government in 1994. Years of violent internal protest, weakening white commitment, international economic and cultural sanctions, economic struggles, and the end of the Cold War brought down white minority rule in Pretoria. U.S. policy toward the regime underwent a gradual but complete transformation that played an important conflicting role in Apartheid's initial survival and eventual downfall.
Although many of the segregationist policies dated back to the early decades of the twentieth century, it was the election of the Nationalist Party in 1948 that marked the beginning of legalized racism's harshest features called Apartheid. The Cold War then was in its early stages. U.S. President Harry Truman's foremost foreign policy goal was to limit Soviet expansion. Despite supporting a domestic civil rights agenda to further the rights of black people in the United States, the Truman Administration chose not to protest the anti-communist South African government's system of Apartheid in an effort to maintain an ally against the Soviet Union in southern Africa. This set the stage for successive administrations to quietly support the Apartheid regime as a stalwart ally against the spread of communism.
THE ANSWER IS C, BECAUSE WE DID THAT IN SCHOOL
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Due to geographic and political factors, present-day transportation between countries in Southwest Asia is primarily by air.
Explanation:
Southeast Asia consists of mainland Indochina, Thailand and Myanmar, the Malaysian Peninsula, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Eleven independent states with diverse populations and cultures are located in the area. More than 700 million people live in the region, around 8% of the world's population. In the north (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia) the culture of the majority is based on Theravada Buddhism. The south (Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia) is in a large majority part of the Islamic world. In the east of Indochina (Vietnam), Chinese culture is dominant and the Philippines have strong European and American influences. Although the culture of Southeast Asia partly originates from that of China and India, the region has its own different, cultural, social, religious and political traditions. Current Southeast Asia (with the exception of Burma) is an area of rapid economic growth, which is reflected in increased prosperity and rapid urbanization. The countries of the region are economically united in the ASEAN partnership, which is committed to more economic growth and peaceful cooperation.
