RideAnS [48]3 years ago

Sunnis and Shias primary differences is who they recognize in the line of succession for the prophet Muhammed.

Sunnis trace the succession to Abu Bakr, an advisor to Muhammed, while Shias trace the succession to Ali, a relative of Muhammed. They trace the leadership through the Caliphs, ending with the Ottoman Empire.

Shias recognize the descendants of Muhammed as their spiritual leaders and call them Imams.

What happened to the royal family? Do you think their fate was necessary? Why do you think the Soviets acted the way they did?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The royal family were assassinated. their fate was necessary because the Romanov's were a symbol of totalitarianism during a period were the soviet union was suffering due to the royal family's decision to participate in the world war resulting is massive casualties and the lack of food for the Russian population whilst the royal family lived frivolously i.e the czar "Nicholas"  bought his wife the Faberge egg which is worth 33 million dollars as of today. The soviets needed a new form of  government who'm would think for the betterment of the people of Russia, by killing the royal family communism would take place because it promised that everything will be shared to everyone equally.  the soviets/Bolsheviks acted the way they did i.e killing the family because the family were a symbol of autocracy(totalitarianism) because they had absolute power over Russia.

What does "one cannot justify war unless each side flaunts its own blind conviction." mean?
Anettt [7]
<span>This means that there is no reason to go to war unless both sides of the argument are unable to see and understand what the other side is trying to justify. Having a conviction in a cause or a belief without looking at the other side of the coin and trying to understand what might be seen as an uncomfortable viewpoint is what often leads to skirmishes and wars.</span>
