Changes that could have prevented the northwest rebellion

History
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]2 years ago
7 0
In late spring 1885, Métis and Canadian forces clashed in a series of battles in northern Saskatchewan, collectively known today as the Northwest Resistance. The standard Canadian historiography regarding these confrontations has, over the years, tended to attribute full blame to one man—Louis Riel. A perfect example is Tom Flanagan’s Louis ‘David’ Riel: Prophet of the New World, which portrays Riel as a rabble-rousing firebrand who pits a simple clan of erstwhile ‘half-breeds’ against the Dominion of Canada to fulfill his divine mission from God and his delusional quest for glory.1 By portraying Riel as a manipulator, this historiographical myth simultaneously discredits the Métis cause while painting the Canadian government as justified liberators whose rescue efforts free the young nation from the clutches of a megalomaniac.2 Although some evidence points to Riel’s mental instability, he did not drive the Métis to war in 1885. To understand why the Métis and Canada fought in 1885, one has to look beyond Riel at three underlying causes of the conflict. One, the Resistance took place at the height of colonialism, as such it was a product of the Canadian and global imperialism prevalent during that time. Two, Canada never adequately dealt with Métis land claims from the 1870 Manitoba Act, which frustrated the Métis to the point of picking up arms in 1885. Three, drastic economic change and hardship had swept the west and the Métis had no help from the federal government, which increased Métis frustration. Together these factors caused the Northwest Resistance to erupt. Understanding them helps debunk the myth that Riel was the master architect behind 1885.

Describe how non-violent resitance can be successful and examples of non-violent resistance that you have learned about in this
Alisiya [41]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Non-violent resistance can be successful because it is a powerful way to show discontent to any injustice or support to another valid issue, conveying the message that violence is no need to unite people against the support of a common cause. Non-violent demonstrations and protests have demonstrated to be so powerful to make changes in different places of the world.

The examples of non-violent resistance that you have learned about are the cases of Mahatma Gandhi, the pacifist leader in India, who was the first to use non-violent demonstrations. Another good example would be Dr- Martin Luther King Jr, who supported non-violent demonstrations such as the March to Washington.

The issue that I feel non-violent resistance could encounter and limit success is that people cannot defend themselves in the case of police aggression or other types of aggression, such as another group who favor violence to stop those pacifist demonstrations.

marysya [2.9K]

The correct answer is A) reduced tensions with the Soviet Union and signed treaties to limit nuclear weapons.


When Nixon was President, the US and Soviet Union signed the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (aka SALT) in 1972. This treaty specifically limited the amount of long-range missiles available to both countries as well as the amount of balistic missiles with nuclear weapons. This period of detente significantly decreased the probability of nuclear war between these two countries.
