Explanation:
Answer:
In 1859, a man in Solferino, Italy, watched as 40,000 people died due to a war. His name was John Henry Dunant. Dunant led a group of volunteers to help those wounded people, as hospitals were overflowing. Dunant made a pamphlet in 1862 called "a Memory of Solferino" which he told everyone about what had happened. The pamphlet ended with the plea, "Would it not be possible to found and organize in all civilized countries permanent societies of volunteers who in time of war would give help to the wounded without regard for their nationality?" His idea became well known, and a meeting was held in Geneva, Switzerland, Dunant's very own country. They discussed the formation of those societies. It was attended by people from 16 countries and many charitable organizations. They formed the idea for the soon to be Red Cross.
They persuaded their own individual governments to ratify what is now known as the first Geneva Convention. By 1869, many red cross societies were formed, and 22 countries signed the Geneva Convention. There were four Geneva Conventions all together. The first one protects victims of land battles, the second protects victims of sea battles, the third Convention protects prisoners of war, and the fourth and final convention protects enemy aliens. These principles make up over half of the international welfare laws. Their seven main principles are, Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary service, and Unity.
The modern red cross has over 200,000,000 volunteers from 135 countries. All across the world these people are working to achieve the same goal.
Answer:
(This is an opinionated question so there actually is no right or wrong answer. I will put what <em>I </em>would have answered, and you can change it up it's not what you would put :] )
Explanation:
I would have chosen more peaceful tactics. Though it's true that the Soviet Union may have went against any peace treaties as they have plenty of times, it's ultimately a better option than spending all our time and money, that could be better spent on other things within our country, on stockpiling weapons. It has been useful in being a reminder to other countries not to test the U.S., but it's also cost a lot of money that could be put towards better causes.
I hope this helped :)
Had no effect on the war I think because it was fought after the treaty was already signed.
