The purpose of the "Double V" campaign was to fight racism at home and abroad.

Further Explanation:

The "Double V" campaign was prevalent within American society during World War II. The goal of this campaign was to gain victory over racism at home (aka the United States) and abroad (in the European and Pacific Theaters).

This campaign was fueled by African American citizens within the US. The reason why African Americans were fighting for victory at home was due to the Jim Crow laws. Throughout the United States, Jim Crow laws existed. These laws resulted in segregated public facilities such as schools, parks, businesses, etc.

Even though these African American citizens were treated unfairly at home, many of them fought overseas in World War II, helping the United States defeat Germany and Japan. This also fueled the campaign, as African Americans felt it was unfair that they were liberating citizens in Europe from poor treatment when many of these African American men faced discrimination and violence in the US because of their skin color. This "Double V" campaign would be a stepping stone for the Civil Rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's.

The correct option is (A). The purpose of the “Double V” campaign was to fight the Nazis and the Japanese.

Further Explanation:

The “Double V Campaign” was an initiative taken by African Americans. The campaign was led by the “Pittsburgh Courier” newspaper that meant to achieve a “double victory” during World War II. There were two main objectives of the campaign which are as follows:

1. Victory in the “war board”.

2. Victory against discrimination.

The campaign wanted victory in both the United States and overseas. In abroad, ‘victory’ was to be achieved by favoring the war effort, especially through buying war stamps and bonds, conserving waste material and contributing to ‘blood banks’. At home, victory will be achieved by ‘combating racial discrimination’, with an emphasis on fighting the “poll tax” and political disfranchisement, working for “equal opportunity” in the defense industry and seeking ‘equality’ in education.

What role do you think violence has in resisting colonialism?

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

While African resistance to European colonialism is often thought of in terms of a white and black/European and African power struggle, this presumption underestimates the complex and strategic thinking that Africans commonly employed to address the challenges of European colonial rule. It also neglects the colonial-era power dynamic of which African societies and institutions were essential components.

After the Berlin Conference of 1884–85, at which the most powerful European countries agreed upon rules for laying claim to particular African territories, the British, French, Germans, Italians, Spanish, Belgians, and Portuguese set about formally implementing strategies for the long-term occupation and control of Africa. The conquest had begun decades earlier—and in the case of Angola and South Africa, centuries earlier. But after the Berlin Conference it became more systematic and overt.

The success of the European conquest and the nature of African resistance must be seen in light of Western Europe's long history of colonial rule and economic exploitation around the world. In fact, by 1885 Western Europeans had mastered the art of divide, conquer, and rule, honing their skills over four hundred years of imperialism and exploitation in the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific. In addition, the centuries of extremely violent, protracted warfare among themselves, combined with the technological advances of the Industrial Revolution, produced unmatched military might. When, rather late in the period of European colonial expansion, Europeans turned to Africa to satisfy their greed for resources, prestige, and empire, they quickly worked their way into African societies to gain allies and proxies, and to co-opt the conquered kings and chiefs, all to further their exploits. Consequently, the African responses to this process, particularly the ways in which they resisted it, were complex.
