I believe that European monarchies sought to consolidate and maintain the power (political, religious, and economic) of their rulers (the monarchs). They did this by passing laws, mandates, and regulations that were designed to allow for governmental autonomy, that is, to ensure that the will of the monarch was not challenged by the citizenry, religious groups, or philosophers and scientists.
Abraham Lincoln’ life is considered to be a great inspiration to many even today.
Explanation:
He was born in a single room logged house in Kentucky. He had very little formal education but had immense curiosity in books. He had learned to read books out of self-interest and gained huge wisdom. He undertook many low paid jobs and later in his life he had won a seat in Illinois legislature.
He won name and fame when he participated in the series of debate with Stephen Douglas who indirectly insisted that slavery must extend up to Free states and this won Lincoln wide appreciation. After he formally took up presidential office, south states did not agree to his policies and formed a confederacy. Lincoln called the army of northern states to defeat south but internal civil war took a brutal turn and killed many lives.
Though he faced too much of opposition, finally he proclaimed the liberation of the African Americans from the bondage of slavery. The terms of the proclamation were too tolerant towards the north and it was not liked by the confederate states. Finally the war ended but unfortunately he died and could not perceive the reconstruction of the southern states. Lincoln was slayed by a confederate adherent in a private theater.
The given statement is true.
Explanation:
In 1915 Ukrainians feared that they were losing power and independence to Russia because Russia captured Ukraine during the time of world war I. That time there was no meaning of the name Ukraine as it was no self identity. It lost its freedom to the powerful country Russia.
During the first world war Russian army entered into Ukraine through Austria. Ukrainians were tortured by the Russian. They were feared as they started losing their power independence to Russia. There arm forces, power was much less in comparison with Russia. That's why Russia easily captured Ukraine.
Truman’s policy was more defensive than offensive. This can be seen in the Marshall Plan where he used economics to rebuild war-torn as an incentive to promote democracy. Though he would not use military force, He vowed to support countries against communism and this was seen in the establishment of NATO as a deterrent to Russian expansion.
I hope this helps!
Good day to you.
