The Ku Klux Klan is a terrorist organization that emerged in the United States at the turn of 1865 to 1866, shortly after the American Civil War. This group was created to <u>promote the ideals of white supremacism, racist ideals that promote segregation and hatred against blacks</u>. The group emerged with the intention of attacking blacks and civil rights defenders for African Americans.
The Klan, as it is called, was responsible for committing violent acts, such as burning houses inhabited by African-Americans, beatings, hangings, etc. Its members wore hoods and a white garment and had a cross as a symbol. In their meetings and attacks, they also set crosses on fire.
Klan's performance took place in three distinct phases, the third being the phase of the organization's current functioning. Klan today is a very small terrorist group. It has a few dozen cells spread throughout the American territory and a few thousand members
The First World War (WWI) was fought from 1914 to 1918 and the Second World War (or WWII) was fought from 1939 to 1945. They were the largest military conflicts in human history. Both wars involved military alliances between different groups of countries.
World War I (a.k.a the First World War, the Great War, the War To End All Wars) was centered on Europe. The world warring nations were divided into two groups namely ‘The Central Powers’ and ‘The Allied Powers’. The central powers group consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria. The Allied powers group consisted of France, Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and (from 1917) the U.S.
World War II (a.k.a the Second World War), the opposing alliances are now referred to as ‘The Axis’ and ‘The Allies’. The Axis group consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Allies group consisted of France, Britain, the U.S., the Soviet Union, and China. World War II was especially heinous because of the genocide of Jewish people perpetrated by the Nazis.
