Answer:

General Sani Abacha rose to power in Nigeria through the use of military force, overturning the country’s elections, and taking power after a period of governmental corruption and instability. Abacha maintained his rule with force backed up by militia, stealing over 3$ billion by the time he died in 1998, returning the country to civilian rule.

In Cambodia, and underground communist movement amassed power before launching an armed rebellion against Cambodia’s current government. After a civil war, the Khmer Rouge and its leader Saloth Sar, who adopted the pseudonym Pol Pot, marched into the nation’s capital, declaring their power. The Khmer Rouge maintained their power by executing intellectuals, teachers, merchants, and anyone in opposition to them. Money, private property, and religion were also abolished to form a communist agrarian society in which many more starved. This movement ended in 1998 with the death of Pol Pot.

Haiti's first dictator, François Duvalier, was able to rise to power after becoming minister of public health and being endeared by the country's people. After being elected prime minister, "Papa Doc," a name given to him by the peasant population, became a ruthless dictator. Duvalier maintained his power by suppressing the current Haitian military and forming his own parliamentary forces which terrorized the population. Before his death in 1971, Duvalier declared himself to be president for life and named his son to be his successor.

Which of the following are TRUE?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

1.- True

2.- False

3.- True

4.- False

5.- False

Explanation:

1. The Quebec Act of 1774 was a Great Britain's Parliament's act which set  governance guidelines for  Quebec Province.

The province's territory was expanded to take over part of the Indian Reserve, including much of what is now southern Ontario, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and parts of Minnesota.

After the 7 Years' War, Great Britain defeated France, and a s aconsequence, Peace was formally signed on the 1763 Treaty of Paris. According to this treaty, the Kingdom of France ceded New France to Britain, keeping instead the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique due to  their important production of sugar.

2. The British Army went out of Boston to capture leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington, they were also looking for destroying American Army's weapon store and ammunition in Concord. The colonists were warned however, by riders including Paul Revere, that the British Army was approaching.

3. The most important points he argued for, were:  (1) independence from England and (2) the creation of a democratic republic.

4.   English Parliament’s decisions towards the colonists were taken as aggresions, giving rise to a more and more distant ideology between the colonist’s political, economic, and social ideas and those of the British. Colonists had developed a solid, new identity that helped foster resistance against Britain. However, Americans were not totally unified;  disorganization and uncertainty ruled. There existed some organizations which intended to influence as unification factors for the colonists, e.g. the Continental Congress, but rather than solid political groups they worked more as discussion forums, this meant their work took longer before agreeing or making drastic decisions. Furthermore, American resistance also had a conflict of interests. Many colonists were still in favor of the Crown and did not want to break away from Great Britain, and eve some of them refused to support the revolution, because they felt that a break with Britain would mean economic chaos - which probably was not far from reality.

5. Much of the colonial forces retreatment from the peninsula was possible due to the controlled withdrawn of the forces led by John Stark and Thomas Knowlton, which prevented the encirclement of the hill.  General Putnam tried to gather the troops once more on Bunker Hill, but colonial drawdown was so quick that artillery pieces and entrenching tools were left behind. The colonists suffered most of their casualties during the retreat on Bunker Hill. By 5 p.m., the colonists had already left to fortified positions, and the British were in control of the peninsula.
