Answer:

Race.

Explanation:

Back then and even in some cases now Blacks were generalized because of their race. As a result of that they had to sit in the back of the bus leading up to the middle seats. When the seats up front for the whites were taken the bus driver ordered black passengers in the middle row to stand so white passengers could sit.

Fed [463]

Answer:

C. 3

Explanation:

Spanish explorer and conquistador Vasco Núñez de Balboa was the first European explorer to see the eastern shores of the Pacific Ocean. In 1511, he was made captain general and interim governor of Darién, the first Spanish settlement in Panama, by king Ferdinand II. The Spanish got news about a fabulously rich Indian kingdom with much gold to the south (probably the Inca empire), a story that encouraged Spanish greed. In 1513, without waiting for reinforcements, Núñez de Balboa headed 190 Spanish soldiers and numerous Indian porters and set to explore southwards, crossing dense jungles, swamps and mountains. There he saw the shores of the Pacific. As a reward for his discovery of the Mar del Sur (Southern Sea, the Pacific), the king appointed him Adelantado (envoy).

Answer:

hope to like it

Explanation:

I use the acronym M.A.N.I.A to help my students remember the 5 major causes of WWI; they are Militarism, Alliances, Nationalism, Imperialism, and Assassination. Each of these topics played a significant role in the reasons why WWI would begin.

Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand: In June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, was shot while he was visiting Sarajevo in Bosnia. ... Because its leader had been shot, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. As a result: Russia got involved as it had an alliance with Serbia.

9 million soldiers and as many civilians died in the war. Germany and Russia suffered most, both countries lost almost two million men in battle. Large sections of land, especially in France and Belgium, were completely destroyed. Fighting laid buildings, bridges and railroad lines in ruins.

How world war 2 practically changed world order?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Explanation:

Though this war resolved problems from World War I and symbolizes the end of the Great Depression, it also led to the Cold war (and thereby division of Korea, Germany, local wars in Vietnam and others)

At the end of the war, millions of refugees were homeless, the European economy had collapsed, and most of the European industrial infrastructure was destroyed. As a result of it, World War II signaled the end of European imperialism.

There was an increased participation of women in the workforce (where they took the place of many men during the war years).

The immense destruction wrought over the course of the war caused a sharp decline in the influence of the great powers. After the war, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States both became influential forces. The U.S. suffered very little during the war and because of military and industrial exports became a formidable manufacturing power. The USSR was, however, in a better economic and strategic position than any other continental European power.

Japan became pacifist .

The war accelerated technology and brought new methods for fighting and killing to the later wars. The air forces improved greatly, such as air transport, strategic bombing (to use bombs to destroy industry and morale), as well as radar, and weapons for destroying aircraft. Jet aircrafts developed and would be used in worldwide air forces.

Acceleration of regional nationalist movements and independence .

Because the League of Nations had failed to actively prevent the war, in 1945 a new international alliance was considered and then created, the United Nations (UN). The UN also was responsible for the initial recognition of the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948, in part as a response to the Holocaust.
