Genocide is a deliberate, co-ordinated plan to destroy a group of people, usually members of a certain national, ethnic or religious group. The Holocaust was a genocide.
The term “genocide” did not exist prior to 1944, but examples of its occurrence, such as the Armenian Genocide of 1915, pre-date this.
The ‘Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide’ was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 9 December 1948, as result of the events of the Holocaust. The Convention came into force on 12 January 1951.
Article 2 states that genocide means “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.

Answer:
C.
Explanation:
An early symptom of the weakness of the empire was Britain's withdrawal from India in 1947. During World War Two, the British had mobilised India's resources for their imperial war effort. They crushed the attempt of Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress to force them to 'quit India' in 1942.
The First and Second World Wars left Britain weakened and less interested in its empire. Also many parts of the empire contributed troops and resources to the war effort and took an increasingly independent view. This led to a steady decline of the empire after 1945.
Answer. The Hindu Congress agreed with him. Mountbatten became convinced that any delay would increase violence and he pushed forward the date for Britain leaving India to August 1947. In August 1947, the Indian Independence Act was signed.
The Cold War added further complexities, as Britain attempted to insulate former colonies from the influence of the Soviet Union. In 1997 Hong Kong returned to Chinese administration. Though Britain still maintains overseas territories, the handover marked the final end of Britain's empire.
1) there was no representatives that were invited in english to discuss the stamp act
2) it was imposed on all american colonists and required them to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used
3) the colonists didn't believe in any form of taxation
I'd say Milan, Rome and Naples.
