<u>Minimization of scheduling errors and accidents in Railways</u>:

Railways are the connecting link to different parts of a country. Rail transport helps in transferring people and goods. Railway accidents are too common which can occur due to negligence of conductor, fault in equipment, and many others. Among them the most common cause reported is the collision with trains having same route or timing schedule.

To avoid these faults our government took several measures. The country is divided into different time zones. This system was created by sir Sand ford Fleming dated back to 1827. He proposed that there should be 24 different time slots, one for each and every hour of the day. Every country follows their specific time period. In this way, the scheduling errors are minimised.

Why did Stalin declare war on Japan? What are your thoughts on the fact that he did so two days after the United States dropped
iris [78.8K]
At the Yalta Conference in February, 1945, Stalin had agreed to enter the war against Japan three months after Germany was defeated.  Victory in Europe was achieved on May 8, 1945.  The Soviet Union declared war on Japan on August 8, 1945, and invaded Manchuria with over a million troops to take on the Japanese army there.

As to the dropping of the second atomic bomb, even the dropping of the first could be challenged when factoring in the USSR.  An option to dropping atomic bombs was to enlist Soviet troops in a joint invasion of Japan.  But the USA wanted to avoid postwar Soviet presence in Japan, and the atomic bombs were seen as a way of ending the war quickly.  As to the use of a second bomb at Nagasaki after the first was dropped on Hiroshima, it was because of the Allies' requirement that Japan submit to an unconditional surrender.  They did not do so in the immediate aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing, so the second bomb was used.  You can consider for yourself whether some other resolution besides "unconditional surrender" was a viable option.

The group that formally abolished the monarchy was the.... After the monarchy was abolished, the....... was created. It was led
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The group that formally abolished the monarchy was the Cavaliers. After the monarchy was abolished, the English Commonwealth was created. It was led by Oliver Cromwell, who  later took the title Lord Protector. This leader was a Puritan, meaning that he supported removing Catholic rituals from the Church of England.

Explanation:

Oliver Cromwell led the faction fighters in an onslaught against the monarchs. In this way he managed to demolish the monarchy with the help of a group called Cavaliers.  As the monarchy was abolished, the country became a republic (called the "Commonwealth of England") over a hundred years before the French Revolution.

With the victory won, Cromwell became the new president of the State Council, after helping to share large tracts of land with the small peasants who fought in his favor. However, after taking power for the first time in the Republican system, he eventually excluded the lower strata of political decisions and ruled England severely and authoritatively.
