An important modern-day protest movement in 2021 is the new uprising in support of Black Lives Matter. This movement was founded nearly a decade ago but only in 2020 with the murder of George Floyd did the movement really pick up speed. Protests erupted throughout the country and more awareness was brought to this social injustice. Now, with many supporters, laws are being passed to help lower the amount of police brutality cases, and help African Americans feel more safe in the United States.

Answer:
In modern history, there are two phases of decolonization: first, an early stage in which Spanish and Portuguese colonies in the Americas got their independence at the beginning of the 19th century. Second, after WWII, most British, French, Belgian, and other European power's colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East got their independence.
Through this process of decolonization, some countries were relatively more successful than others due to different variables and characteristics. Decolonization, in general terms, is a complex and violent process in which new nations are created. It involves the creation and imposition of nationalities based on ethnic and religious elements, one common language, the suppression of cultural and religious minorities. Moreover, many of the newly independent countries in Africa and the Middle East were established according to the borders created by the European colonizers, which did not have into account the local borders between ethnic groups and local cultures. Also, the fact that decolonization took place during the Cold War added more political conflict to this complex process, many new countries lied on one of the two sides of the global conflict. It would have been very difficult for leaders to prevent these problems before they happened for all these reasons. Gandhi tried to avoid an eventual conflict between Muslims and Hindus, but he could not and the division between India and Pakistan happened very soon
Explanation:
The spread of Christianity was made a lot easier by the
efficiency of the Roman Empire, but its principles were sometimes
misunderstood and membership of the sect could be dangerous.
Although Jesus
had died, his message had not. Word of his teachings spread to Jewish
communities across the empire. This was helped by energetic apostles,
such as Paul and by the modern communications of the Roman Empire.
Spreading the word
Over 30 years, Paul clocked up around 10,000 miles, traveling across
the Roman Empire. He preached in some of the empire’s most important
cities. Although places like Ephesus, Philippi, Corinth and Athens
looked magnificent, they were also home to tens of thousands of poor,
desperate people who were the perfect audience for the Christian message
of eternal life.
Like Jesus, Paul spoke to people in their homes and synagogues. But he went beyond Jesus, who had only preached to Jews. Paul believed his message should also be taken to gentiles – the non-Jews.
Relaxing the rules
This meant taking a more relaxed approach to ancient Jewish laws about
food and circumcision. It was a slap in the face for Jewish tradition,
but it was also the central reason for the rapid spread of Christianity.
As the Christian movement began to accept non-Jewish members, it moved
further away from the strict rules imposed on Jews. In so doing, it
gradually became a new and separate religion.
An easy target
Despite its growing popularity, Christianity was sometimes
misunderstood and membership could bring enormous risks. Widely
criticized after the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, the Emperor Nero tried
to divert attention away from his own failings by providing an easy
scapegoat: the Christians.
Although the followers of Jesus were working hard to spread the
message, there were still very few Christians in Rome. They were
regarded with suspicion. Some important Christian rituals were mistaken
as cannibalism, others as incest. Christians became an easy target.
Nero wasted no time. He arrested and tortured all the Christians in
Rome, before executing them with lavish publicity. Some were crucified,
some were thrown to wild animals and others were burned alive as living
torches.

A new approach

Despite this, Nero's persecution of the new Christian sect was brief
and, in the first century at least, was not repeated in other parts of
the empire. When asked by Pliny the Younger how to deal with Christians
in the Asian provinces, Trajan replied that they should not be actively
pursued. However, they could be punished if they were publicly
criticized and refused to abandon their beliefs.
Over time, the Christian church and faith grew more organized. In 313
AD, the Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, which accepted
Christianity: 10 years later, it had become the official religion of the
Roman Empire.
