Correct answer:

d. the deaths of many protesters.

In response to student-led protests calling for democratic reforms, the Chinese government cracked down harshly. Martial law was declared and over 200,000 troops were deployed to Bejing. On the evening of June 3, 1989, the army opened fire on the protesters, and forceful efforts by the military to clear Tienanmen Square of protesters continued through June 4.

The death toll for protesters has been much disputed. The official Chinese government estimate said no more than 300 were killed -- and they included soldiers in that number. However, a message from the British ambassador to China, sent at the time of the incidents, estimated the death toll to be at least 10.000. The ambassador's memo, declassified in 2017, described how some protesters were bayoneted as they begged for their lives and how human remains were “hosed down the drains.”

After protests in Tienanmen Square in China were crushed, on the next day (June 5), a lone protester stood in the street against the government's tanks. "Tank Man" (as he became known) captured the international imagination as an individual standing up against the overwhelming power of the government.

How was religion involved in Prince Henry's exploration goals?
wlad13 [49]
Ok, so obviously, you can tell that A. is not even an answer since his name is Prince Henry which is an English name and the Islamic empire never really reached what is now present-day U.K...B. and D. are wrong because Catholicism was in Spain and the Pope was also in Spain. So your only correct answer is C.

What are two reasons why Communism was seen as such a threat to a America in the 1950s?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The possession of nuclear weapons by Russia, and the perceived infiltration of Communists in government -are two reasons why Communism was seen as such a threat to America in the 1950s.

Explanation:

Short answer: violent revolutions that typically ended with the murder of most of the existing elites and confiscation of their properties, and the establishment of repressive police states that would either execute anyone or banish to gulags or work camps anyone who disagreed with the Communist Party.

Long answer: when communism first came up as a theory, it was a seen as the natural evolution of society by its fans - feudalism to capitalism to socialism to communism. With the advent of mass democracy, it was seen as only a matter of time that the workers would organize enough to use their greater numbers to force change in the system and move capitalism to socialism (and eventually communism).

In 1871, after France lost the Franco-Prussian war, the people of Paris weren't too happy with how it went and established a new government (the Paris Commune) with a fair amount of support. It was a much more communist government. The "national government" fled Paris and set up base outside the city. The two argued. Then the national government vowed to crush the commune, and issued orders to execute anyone holding a weapon or with gunpowder on their hands. Over the next two months, the revolution was bloodily put down and there were mass executions of almost all the major figures of the revolution.

The communists realized that the middle class would ally with the elite over the workers when push came to shove. The bolsheviks (Russian communists) decided that if they were able to have a revolution, they needed to crush any potential opposition or they'd get crushed themselves. So in 1917, that's just what happened, leading to the millions dead in the Russian Civil War.

Of course, once you start killing anyone who presents a threat to you, it is hard to stop. Leading to Stalin's great purgers and the Holmodor, and the various campaigns of Mao in China when they took power. Also, refusing to hear dissent allowed mass famines like the Holmodor and the Great Leap Forward.

The successful Communist revolutionaries of the 20th Century generally subscribed to "those capitalist swine will be the first ones against the wall when the revolution comes" - which certainly put a scare into the elites in the West.
