Which most accurately traces the changing attitudes of the protesters during the year-long Arab Spring demonstrations?

1 answer:

5 0

The correct answer is the last one: The protests began with citizens calling for democratic reforms, but as protests spread, Islamic fundamentalists began demanding that Sharia law be established.

The Arab Spring started in Tunisia, when Muhammad Bouazizi, a young street vendor committed self-immolation as a form of protest against the confiscation of his wares and the oppression of the regime of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. This sparked anger in his country, which led to a series of protests that concluded in the overthrown of the dictatorial regime and the subsequent establishment of a democracy in the country. The Tunisian revolution inspired people in many other Arab countries with similar political systems to do the same and reclaim a democratic transformation.

The wave of the Arab Spring went through Lybia, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, and Bahrein among others, but it didn't end up so well in most of these countries. In fact, the uprising against dictatorial but secular governments paved the way for extremist Islamist groups on the prowl.

In Syria, Islamist groups that were fighting in Iraq took advantage of the attempt of Syrian protesters to overthrow the regime of Al Assad in order to extend their dominion and establish an Islamist Caliphate ruled by the Sharia law. The Syrian civil war was the result of this and many terrorist groups united to form the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a terrorist organization that committed several atrocities across these countries.

In Egypt, after the fall of Mubarak's regime, there were democratic elections where the Muslim Brothers won, threatening with an Islamist turn in the State and the application of the Sharia law. To avoid this the army carried out a coup d'etat establishing a military dictatorship.

What forces shaped the culture in the country of uae and dubai in particular? how similar or different are these forces from tho

mash [69]

From a United States vantage, the culture of UAE and Dubai may seem from a distance to be some stereotype of a conservative Arab culture. In fact, much like the United States, these cultures have been transformed by modern forces such as international finance, wealth and immigration from other areas. Thus, rather than stressing elements some would label "traditional", I would emphasize that both cultures are shaped by the same modern cultural influences in the United States.

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

1- The War of 1812 contributed to the growth of the United States by including new states because the reduction of British aid to Native Americans near the Mississippi River made white settlement easier.

2- The region that was a source of conflict between the United States and Great Britain was the Northwest.

3- The change in population between 1850 and 1860 was a result of a large wave of immigrants from Europe.

Explanation:

1- During the War of 1812, many native tribes collaborated with the British in exchange for economic aid and resources.

With the British defeat, the natives, who had been the main contenders of the Americans in the fighting (losing 10,000 men) were weakened in their position in their territories, to such an extent that those territories were effectively occupied and organized by representatives of the U.S.

2- The British claimed the entire Oregon Territory in the northwest of the current American territory, that is, they carried their claim south to the 42nd parallel north, which had been the limit agreed in 1819 between Spain and the United States in the Adams-Onis Treaty. The dispute between Great Britain and the United States was resolved peacefully, and until 1846 the United Kingdom and the United States, through the Anglo-American Convention of 1818, exercised a condominium over the entire Oregon Territory, further ensuring the inhibition of possible Mexican or Russian claims.

In 1846, Oregon's boundary dispute between the United States and Great Britain was resolved by the signing of the Oregon Treaty. The British gained exclusive possession of the land north of the 49th North parallel and the entire island of Vancouver , while the United States received the areas south of that line.

3- Throughout the nineteenth century the population of the United States grew extraordinarily because of the constant arrival of European immigrants, mostly young, coming mainly from Britain, Ireland and Germany.

Thus, the population went from less than thirteen million in 1830 to forty million in 1870.
