Answer:</h3>
D. Because the Sudanese government focused on rebels in general,
not a specific ethnic group.
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Since the early 2000s, violence against the Sudanese government has been prevalent in the Darfur region. Although, it was not defined as genocide by the UN.
Genocide
First, we need to understand what genocide is.
- Genocide is defined as the deliberate killing of a specific ethnicity, nationality, or religious group.
For the UN to declare something a genocide, a specific group, usually a minority, must be targeted for their unique traits, like ethnicity.
There are 5 forms of genocide:
- Killing members of a group
- Causing grave mental or physical harm
- Forcing purposely terrible living conditions
- Preventing new births
- Forcing children out of the group
One of these must occur to a specific group of people for the UN to declare genocide.
Atrocities in Darfur
While the Sudanese government did deliberately kill people within Darfur, the government attempted to attack rebels. So, the government did not specifically target the ethnicity. However, the majority of the rebels were from Darfur, so some people saw it as a genocide.
Answer:
d. Napoleon wants to control all aspects of the farm and sees Snowball’s idea as a threat.
Explanation:
Snowball's idea of building a windmill is far-sighted in nature which would decrease hard labor in the future. On the other hand, Napoleon wants to procure food to prevent food scarcity. While two of them have a contradictory viewpoint, the reasons were more in-depth. Napoleon wants absolute power and could not have left labor free to think about his vision of acquiring power.
At the Yalta Conference in February, 1945, Stalin had agreed to enter the war against Japan three months after Germany was defeated. Victory in Europe was achieved on May 8, 1945. The Soviet Union declared war on Japan on August 8, 1945, and invaded Manchuria with over a million troops to take on the Japanese army there.
As to the dropping of the second atomic bomb, even the dropping of the first could be challenged when factoring in the USSR. An option to dropping atomic bombs was to enlist Soviet troops in a joint invasion of Japan. But the USA wanted to avoid postwar Soviet presence in Japan, and the atomic bombs were seen as a way of ending the war quickly. As to the use of a second bomb at Nagasaki after the first was dropped on Hiroshima, it was because of the Allies' requirement that Japan submit to an unconditional surrender. They did not do so in the immediate aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing, so the second bomb was used. You can consider for yourself whether some other resolution besides "unconditional surrender" was a viable option.
