How did President Bashar al-Assad respond to the peaceful protest

History
1 answer:
VMariaS [17]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The heavy sense of dictatorship and memories of the 1980s made Syrians think the wave of change in the region would never come to their country.

But it did happen. At first, people were surprised, but above all shocked that their government would fire on peaceful protesters in Deraa. Every day, the death toll increased and in reaction more people took to the street.

The movement started as protests calling for more freedom and dignity. The way the government handled the events since those first days drove more and more people to oppose President Bashar al-Assad.

At first, no-one was calling for the regime to fall. Many people had hopes that the young president would respond to their calls and punish those of the security forces who killed innocent civilians.

But the wave of killings and arrests, torture and humiliation targeting people who were not even involved in the demonstrations drove many who steered clear of politics to join the protest movement.

Dmitry [639]

Select these answers:

1. competitiveness brought on by imperialism

2. the rise in nationalism

3. the build-up of arms

5. the race for military supremacy

The military buildup became an arms race between the nations of Europe and increased tensions between the nations of Europe.  Along with increasing expenditures on military forces and navies, there was pressure to form alliances with other nations to strengthen a nation's defenses in case there was a war.  

There was also much competition between European countries for imperial dominance in other parts of the world.  When war broke out between those European countries, it pulled their imperial and colonial holdings into the conflict too.

Nationalism also played a role, with nations feeling they should assert their supremacy over rival nations.

slega [8]

you don't describe exactly when or what time. You are walking down these streets but I think you'd probably see cars and you'd hear people talking and probably stores and houses. But if it's in the olden days maybe horses with buggies

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

It decided the fate of this war

Explanation:

This was because the confederates were trying to push into Washington but the union was lucky enough to halt the advance, which if they couldn't then most likely Washington DC would've been in confederate hands. Not only that, but the battle also earned the title of being one of the most one-day bloodiest battles of the civil war.
