History

Answer:

Nativist anti-immigrant legislation was similar to Jim Crow laws targetting non-white populations.

Explanation:

The cartoon in the picture is a very witty take on Nativist anti-immigrant laws that were enacted in the United States after WWI.

The reason is that it compares one of its measures: literacy tests, with Jim Crow laws, which also included literacy tests for people in order to be able to vote, a measure that targeted black people and poor white people, who at the time had very low literacy levels. This policy was designed to effectively keep black and poor white people from voting, a phenomenon that is known as disenfranchisement.

Literacy tests for immigrants had a similar effect, since many of U.S. potential immigrants at the time came from non-english speaking countries like Italy, Poland or China, and this literacy tests were obviously made in English.

Imperialism - Nations competed for more land, colonies and raw materials. Great Britain and Germany competed industrially, which led to these nations needing more raw materials. Also, Austria-Hungary controlling the Slavic land of Bosnia, which Serbia believed belonged to them.

Nationalism - Nationalism was very strong in both Germany and France. Germany controlled the territory known as Alsace-Lorraine, which they gained from France after the Franco-Prussian War. France wanted that land back.

Alliances - Secret alliances were formed prior to the outbreak of the war. After the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand the Archduke of Austria-Hungary the alliance systems went into effect leading to many nations protecting one another (i.e. Russia protecting Serbia from Austria-Hungary).

When were the first understandings that humans could have governments.
Maru [420]

Answer:

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages. The UDHR is widely recognized as having inspired, and paved the way for, the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a permanent basis at global and regional levels (all containing references to it in their preambles).
