Answer:
Nineteenth Century - Belgium had a colony in Africa: the belgian Congo. The Belgian leadership treated the native people of the Congo in an extremely brutal manner, most people were essentially slaves. Some workers were mutilated if they did not meet certain quotas, or if they "misbehaved".
Twentieth Century - France and Britain came to dominate several areas in the Middle East after the Ottoman Empire collapsed. The French Mandate in particular, created the countries of Syria and the Lebanon.
The problem was that the borders of these countries were created without regard for ethnic and religious differences.
For this reason, modern Syria and Lebanon are very conflictive countries (Syria is in a civil war, Lebanon had a civil war from 1975 to 1990) because of that.
Twenty-first century - The United States invaded Iraq in 2003 under the false claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction hidden in its territory. While the U.S. army managed to depose the former dictator, Sadam Hussein, the invasion caused the deaths of thousands of American Soldiers and Iraqi citizens, and Iraq continues to be a unstable country up to this day.
Answer:
The Deutsche Mark (German: [ˈdɔʏtʃə ˈmaʁk] (About this soundlisten), "German mark"), abbreviated "DM" or "D-Mark" [ˈdeːˌmaʁk] (About this soundlisten), was the official currency of West Germany from 1948 until 1990 and later the unified Germany from 1990 until 2002. It was first issued under Allied occupation in 1948 to replace the Reichsmark, and served as the Federal Republic of Germany's official currency from its founding the following year until the adoption of the euro. In English it is commonly called the "Deutschmark" (/ˈdɔɪtʃmɑːrk/); this expression is unknown in Germany.[citation needed] The Germans usually called it D-Mark when referring to the currency, and Mark when talking about individual sums.[citation needed]
In 1999, the Deutsche Mark was replaced by the euro; its coins and banknotes remained in circulation, defined in terms of euros, until the introduction of euro notes and coins on 1 January 2002. The Deutsche Mark ceased to be legal tender immediately upon the introduction of the euro—in contrast to the other eurozone nations, where the euro and legacy currency circulated side by side for up to two months. Mark coins and banknotes continued to be accepted as valid forms of payment in Germany until 28 February 2002.
The Deutsche Bundesbank has guaranteed that all German marks in cash form may be changed into euros indefinitely, and one may do so in person at any branch of the Bundesbank in Germany. Banknotes and coins can even be sent to the Bundesbank by mail.[2] In 2012, it was estimated that as many as 13.2 billion marks were in circulation, with one poll showing a narrow majority of Germans favouring the currency's restoration (although a minority believed this would not bring any economic benefit).[3]
On 31 December 1998, the Council of the European Union fixed the irrevocable exchange rate, effective 1 January 1999, for German mark to euros as DM 1.95583 = €1.[4]
One Deutsche Mark was divided into 100 pfennige.
