The French Wars of Religion were a prolonged period of war and popular unrest between Roman Catholics and Huguenots (Reformed/Calvinist Protestants) in the Kingdom of France between 1562 and 1598. It is estimated that three million people perished in this period from violence, famine, or disease in what is considered the second deadliest religious war in European history (surpassed only by the Thirty Years' War, which took eight million lives).[1]

Much of the conflict took place during the long regency of Queen Catherine de' Medici, widow of Henry II of France, for her minor sons. It also involved a dynastic power struggle between powerful noble families in the line for succession to the French throne: the wealthy, ambitious, and fervently Roman Catholic ducal House of Guise (a cadet branch of the House of Lorraine, who claimed descent from Charlemagne) and their ally Anne de Montmorency, Constable of France (i.e., commander in chief of the French armed forces) versus the less wealthy House of Condé (a branch of the House of Bourbon), princes of the blood in the line of succession to the throne who were sympathetic to Calvinism. Foreign allies provided financing and other assistance to both sides, with Habsburg Spain and the Duchy of Savoy supporting the Guises, and England supporting the Protestant side led by the Condés and by the Protestant Jeanne d'Albret, wife of Antoine de Bourbon, King of Navarre, and her son, Henry of Navarre.

The best answer is "was not part of the Eastern Bloc",
although this answer is misleading. 

Yugoslavia was indeed part of the Eastern Bloc in the sense that it was an Eastern European communist country, but it was the only one that did not align itself with the USSR after 1948. It also did no ally with the United States, choosing non-alignment instead. 

This answer is the best answer simply because it is less false than the other answers, which are completely wrong. Yugoslavia never joined the USSR, choosing to split from Stalin in 1948, and never became a satellite nation of the US, and isn't located anywhere near the Baltic.

mrs_skeptik [129]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

One goal of U.S involvement in the war in Afghanistan was to eliminate the terrorist cell led by Osama bin Laden, after this cell made itself responsible for the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

One challenge of U.S involvement in the war in Afghanistan was that the Afghans knew their territory very well. That is why President Bush ordered an air raid over Afghanistan, with the support of Great Britain.

One goal of U.S involvement in the war in Irak was to capture and kill Irak's dictator Sadam Hussein. One challenge of U.S involvement in the war in Irak was to demonstrate that Sadam Hussein had arsenals of weapons of mass destruction. The US troops never find these weapons.
