Africa had undergone centuries of brutal exploitation and mass slavery that broke down institutions of civil society.

The correct option is D

Most of Africa had been colonized during the African Repartition, in the middle of the period known as New Imperialism, during the second half of the 19th century. After the First World War, the African independence movements took on importance, culminating in the decolonization process. In some countries, independence was obtained peacefully, while in others it was achieved through the use of arms. Among the latter, the War of Independence of Algeria (1954-1962) and the Portuguese Colonial War (1961-1975) were the most violent.

In 1959, the French Union became the French Community, with the notable exception of Guinea, which decided its independence in a referendum; Two years later, all the French colonies became independent. Decolonization, however, has not ended, since Western Sahara remains under Spanish colonial administration de jure, and invaded by Morocco under the outlawed Madrid Accords.

In most of the British and French colonies, the two largest colonists in Africa, the transition to independence took place peacefully. In the conclusion of decolonization, Africa suffered great political instability, economic poverty and dependence on the powers due to public debt. The political instability was born of the introduction in Africa of Marxist ideology or capitalist influence, as well as racial differences, which incited civil wars, formed black nationalist groups, who participated in violent attacks against white settlers, thus trying to end to the government of the white minority.

The borders decided generally arbitrarily by the European powers during the colonization was another source of violence, since some of the new nations did not agree with the drawing of disrespectful limits of the communities. Although most African nations have already accepted their borders, there are disputes today such as Chad and Libya, Ethiopia and Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea, Nigeria and Cameroon or Sudan and South Sudan.

Vinvika [58]

Answer: The comparison of Nicholas II and Vladimir Lenin

Explanation Both the leaders were hungry for power and came onto to become leaders by promising good for the people but the similarity didn't catch one's eye but how different to each historical figure was has been highlighted many a time.

  • Nicholas II was czar and hence being born into a royal family made him an obvious leader whereas Lenin gained prominence in the party and came into power thus.
  • Lenin had the willingness to lead Russia used the Bolshevik party to do so, however the Tsar was happy to be with his family and pets and not a bit interested in leadership.
  • Nicholas II and his entire family were assassinated whereas Lenin died of natural causes way later.
  • Lenin was the more brutal of the two and used his power to get what he wanted even if it meant  torturing or murdering. here Nicholas made some concessions.
  • The military responsibility was on Nicholas II during his regime but when Lenin took over he would delegate it.

Finally, none of them actually cared for the poor, the oppressed were further in distress when these two came to power.

Identify What were the Freedom Rides?
TEA [102]

Q.1 What were feedom riders?

The Freedom Rides of 1961 was a revolutionary movement where black and white people refused to sit in their designated areas of buses to protest segregation. Blacks sat in the front of the bus and whites sat in the back, opposite of the usual arrangements. There were multiple different rides from several different locations and a variety of people. At every stop, the freedom riders would use the opposite segregated facilities such as bathrooms, restaurants, and water fountains

Q.2.where and when?

They began in Washington DC on May 4, 1961 and went to New Orleans originally. But the rides sparked a revolution and inspired many other people from several states to take part in the freedom rides and support the fight for racial justice.

Q.3who was involved?

The idea was conceived by The Congress of Racial Equality and the first ride involved 7 blacks and 6 whites who boarded the bus in Washington D.C. Many Freedom Riders were trained Civil Rights Activists who practiced peaceful protest and lead with bravery. Some were even involved in the diner sit in's the year before.

Q.4.why?

They intended to test the Supreme Court's ruling in Boynton v. Virginia (1960), which declared segregation in interstate bus and rail stations unconstitutional but was failing to be enforced.

Boynton vs Virginia was a court case about a man named Bruce Boynton who was in a restaurant within a "white only" bus terminal and refused to leave. He was arrested for trespassing, but the offense was turned over by the Supreme Court because "white only" and "black only" areas were deemed unconstitutional through Brown v. Board of Education (1954).

This was also the next step towards anti-segregation that promoted the ideas brought on by diner sit in's that took place in the previous year.

The Freedom Rides also had the goal of gaining not only public attention but also the attention of the Kennedy Association in order to raise awareness of the rising Civil Rights Movement.
