Answer:
The American Revolutionary War saw a series battles involving naval forces of the British Royal Navy and the Continental Navy from 1775, and of the French Navy from 1778 onwards. While the British enjoyed more numerical victories these battles culminated in the surrender of the British Army force of Lieutenant-General Earl Charles Cornwallis, an event that led directly to the beginning of serious peace negotiations and the eventual end of the war. From the start of the hostilities, the British North American station under Vice-Admiral Samuel Graves blockaded the major colonial ports and carried raids against patriot communities. Colonial forces could do little to stop these developments due to British naval supremacy. In 1777, colonial privateers made raids into British waters capturing merchant ships, which they took into French and Spanish ports, although both were officially neutral. Seeking to challenge Britain, France signed two treaties with America in February 1778, but stopped short of declaring war on Britain. The risk of a French invasion forced the British to concentrate its forces in the English Channel, leaving its forces in North America vulnerable to attacks.
The correct answer is " Citizens would be able to form governments that ensure their interests."
The idea of a social contract involves citizens of a country giving up some of their individual liberties (aka freedoms) so that the government can make society safer. Hobbes argued that this social contract, despite the fact that it limits individual freedoms, will benefit citizens because they have the opportunity to pick their leaders who will make laws based around their wants/needs.

In Rwanda the cause of the genocide was “restoration of historical justice,” while in Bosnia it was more of a territorial and interfaith problem.
Explanation:
In the 1994 genocide, 800,000 people were killed in Rwanda. As a result of the three-year conflict in the former Yugoslavia, more than 100 thousand people died, and about two million were forced to leave their homes.
First, German and then Belgian colonists supported the power of the Tutsi. The reason was the origin of the Tutsi: Europeans reasoned that if this tribe used to live in northern Africa, it means that it is genetically closer to the Caucasian race and has superiority over the Hutus. The position of the Hutus was getting worse and more disenfranchised.
Simultaneously with the fall of the Soviet Union, many other communist regimes, including the Yugoslav one, shook. So, by 1991, Slovenia and Croatia withdrew from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. If the first of the republics resolved the issue of independence through a referendum, the second made a unilateral declaration of secession from Yugoslavia. Following the neighbors, Bosnia and Herzegovina decided to become independent, but the population of this republic was so heterogeneous that the proposed option did not suit everyone. The supporters of independent Bosnia and Herzegovina were mostly Bosnian Muslims, who made up almost half of the country's population, as well as Croat Catholics who did not want to follow the Orthodox Serbs, who made up about a third of the republic’s population.
