Battle of Midway
Following the attack on Peal Harbor, Japanese armies rolled over Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and the East Indies. The war in the Pacific was fought on land, at sea, and in the air. The turning point in the war in the Pacific came in June, 1942 at the Battle of Midway. In a four day battle fought between aircraft based on giant aircraft carriers, the U.S. destroyed hundreds of Japanese planes and regained control of the Pacific. The Japanese continued to fight on, however, even after the war in Europe ended. Stalingrad
On June 22, 1941, four million troops poured over the Russian border. Within one month, over two and half million Russians had been killed, wounded or captured. The Germans made tremendous advances into Russia – into portions of Moscow, Leningrad, and Stalingrad.
And then winter hit. The Germans were caught in summer uniforms, and it was a bitter, cold winter that year.
Stalin, using sheer force of numbers, threw another two million soldiers at the Germans.

In the spring of the next year (1943), another German offensive was launched especially around the approaches to Stalingrad. What followed can only be described as a nine-month titanic battle, with the result that the German Sixth Army in Russia was almost completely destroyed. That was the beginning of the end for Germany, but it would take three more years of desperate fighting, and millions and millions of people dead before it was all over.
D-Day
On D-Day, June 6, 1944 , General Dwight Eisenhower led U.S. and Allied troops in an invasion of Normandy, France. The armies fought their way through France and Belgium and into Germany while Russian troops fought from the east. On May 7, 1945, Germany surrendered. Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The Japanese fought on even after the war in Europe ended. Truman decided to use the newly developed atomic bomb to end the war quickly and prevent more U.S. casualties. The Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945, killing about 78,000 people and injuring 100,000 more. On August 9, a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, killing another 40,000 people. Anti-semitism
In part, the Nazi party gained popularity by disseminating anti-Jewish propaganda. Millions bought Hitler's book Mein Kampf (My Struggle), which called for the removal of Jews from Germany. With the Nazi rise to power in 1933, the party ordered anti-Jewish boycotts, staged book burnings, and enacted anti-Jewish legislation. In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws defined Jews by blood and ordered the total separation of "Aryans" and "non-Aryans." On November 9, 1938, the Nazis destroyed synagogues and the shop windows of Jewish-owned stores throughout Germany and Austria (Kristallnacht).

The Holocaust Click on the map for audio and animated map description The Holocaust was the systematic persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi regime. The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were "unworthy of life." During the era of the Holocaust, the Nazis also targeted other groups because of their perceived "racial inferiority": Roma (Gypsies), the handicapped, and some of the Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others). In 1933, the Jewish population of Europe stood at over nine million. By 1945, close to two out of every three European Jews had been killed as part of the "Final Solution", the Nazi policy to murder the Jews of Europe.
Europeans had a duty to introduce the benefits of their civilization to non-European peoples is the statement which best expresses the Western perspective regarding Rudyard Kipling's "white man's burden".
Option b
<u>Explanation:</u>
The White Man's Burden is a famous poem by Rudyard Kipling, which is based on American and European Imperialism. It represents the time during which America changed its foreign policy and expand. According to this poem, the Americans and Europeans considered themselves as the superior race, whose job is to enlighten the path of other inferior races.
They also believed that it was their duty to improve the lives of the people living under their control by civilizing them.
Hence, alternative B correctly represents the western perspective.
They wanted to create laws that didn't directly interfere with the laws that had been put forth by the government. Therefore they created laws that required 'humanly' things of people that the blacks wouldn't have had the chance to do. As an example, if you were to apply for a job your grandfather had to have also been employed. For more whites, this wasn't an issue. But for blacks, their grandparents may not have been in America, and if they were, they were most likely slaves.
The Magna Carta was created during the reign of King John I.
The Magna Carta is a letter granted by John I of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on June 15, 1215. First drafted by the archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, to make peace between the English monarch, with ample unpopularity, and a group of rebellious barons, promised the protection of ecclesiastical rights, the protection of barons from illegal imprisonment, access to immediate justice, and limitations on feudal fees to the Crown, which would be implemented through a council of twenty-five barons. None of the sides complied with their commitments and the letter was annulled by Pope Innocent III, which led to the first Barons War. After the death of John I, the government of regency of the young Henry III returned to promulgate the document in 1216 - although stripped of some of its more radical clauses -, in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain political support for its cause. At the end of the war in 1217, the letter was part of the peace treaty agreed upon at Lambeth, where it became known as the "Magna Carta" to distinguish it from the small Forest Charter issued at the same time. Before the lack of funds, Henry III decreed again the letter in 1225 in exchange for a concession of new taxes. His son Edward I repeated the sanction in 1297, this time confirming it as part of the statutory right of England.
The document became part of the English political life and was usually renewed by the monarch on duty, although over time the newly created English Parliament passed new laws, so the letter lost some of its practical significance. At the end of the sixteenth century there was a growing interest in the Magna Carta. The lawyers and historians of the time thought that existed an old English constitution, traced back to the days of the Anglo-Saxons, that it protected the individual freedoms of the English. They argued that the Norman invasion of 1066 had suppressed these rights; according to them, the Magna Carta was a popular attempt to restore them, which made it an essential basis for the contemporary powers of Parliament and legal principles such as habeas corpus. Although this historical account had its flaws, jurists like Edward Coke used the Magna Carta a lot in the early seventeenth century to object to the divine right of kings, proposed by the Stuarts from the throne. Both Jacob I and his son Charles I tried to prohibit the discussion of the Magna Carta, until the English Revolution of the 1640s and the execution of Charles I restricted the issue.
