One night during the War of 1812, a violent thunderstorm emerged out of nowhere, which chased the red coats away from burning more buildings. The rain from the storm doused the fires that were all around, which then saved the city from total destruction.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.

What motivated the Red Guards to create chaos during the Cultural
vazorg [7]

Answer:

The right answer here is B. A desire to destroy anything that could threaten communism in China.

Explanation:

The Red Guards turned into one of the most effective and dealiest instruments of Chairman Mao Zedong´s manipulation during the Cultural Revolution. The real purpose of Mao was to destroy and remove from office his political opponents and critics, thus consolidating his position as Red China´s paramount leader. He used his wife Jiang Qing and other radicals to launch and promote the campaign. Its official aim was to destroy vestiges of the old, traditional, "reactionary" Chinese culture - such as Confucianism, Buddhism - and burgueois, rightist elements in the Communist Party. The Red Guards movement started in universities and schools. Mao was delighted about them and allowed their abuses. They publicly denounced, vilified, beat and humilliated hundreds of thousands of innocent people. They were a magnificent weapon of caos and destruction.
