masha68 [24]

After the World War II and all of the terrors witnessed through it on ethnic and racial basis, the international community was determined that something like that should never happen again, and that all humans are equal and deserve the same rights.

That benefited the African American population in the United States a lot, as they now had the basis and support with which they were able to push through to gain all of the rights they deserve, thus be equal with all of the rest. That led to the formation of multiple organizations for the rights of the African Americans, widespread propaganda, protests, and eventually it gave a positive result, with the African Americans gaining all of the rights they deserved, but also putting the racism aside in the American society.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The correct answer is Turkey.

Explanation:

Asia Minor (or Anatolia) was a geographic region in south-western Asia, which nowadays represents the Asian part of modern Turkey and some parts of Armenia.

Alexander the Great defeated Persians in the Battle of the Granicus  (334-333 BC), and after that proceeded with the conquest of Asia Minor. Most of the cities surrendered without a fight, but he experienced some difficulties while conquering some cities of Miletus, Halicarnassus, and Mylasa.

According to the legend, in the ancient capital, Gordium, Alexander cut the famous Gordian Knot that made him a King of Asia.

Besides Asia Minor, his empire also included Macedonia, Greece, Syria, Judea, Phoenicia, Egypt, Gaza, Mesopotamia, Persia, Bactria and some parts of India.
