Answer:

John Brown was an American abolitionist. Brown advocated the use of armed insurrection to overthrow the institution of slavery in the United States. He first gained national attention when he led small groups of volunteers during the Bleeding Kansas crisis of 1856. He was dissatisfied with the pacifism of the organized abolitionist movement: "These men are all talk. What we need is action—action!" In May 1856, Brown and his supporters killed five supporters of slavery in the Pottawatomie massacre, which responded to the sacking of Lawrence by pro-slavery forces. Brown then commanded anti-slavery forces at the Battle of Black Jack and the Battle of Osawatomie.

Which happened after the soviet invasion of czechoslovakia?

Also known as the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia, it was known as Operation Danube when over an army of 250,000 invaded the country.


The Army consisted of troops from Poland, Soviet Union, Hungary, East Germany and Bulgaria.

The invasion was conducted to ensure the 'Prague Spring' reforms do not come into effect and that the Community Party in Czechoslovakia, which was friendly to Soviet Union, remained powerful and influential.


However, the invasion was unpopular within the country and a passive-aggressive reaction was seen from the local population. Non-violent acts such as, food, water, and other resources were denied and anti-Warsaw pact graffiti welcomed the soldiers everywhere they went.


There were also negative reactions from around the world and even within the Warsaw pact itself.
