Radda [10]

The colonization of the Americas gave the mother countries new land to exploit. They extracted natural resources, such as silver from Potosi and created plantations where they grew cash crops like sugar and tobacco. However, to run these operations, they needed labor. At first, with acts like the Spanish encomiendas, they forced the natives to work. Soon though, the natives died from European diseases like smallpox that were brought over. They fixed this labor shortage with African slaves, who were stronger and had more immunities.

Answer: All processes and measures are in place to protect and value life.

Explanation:

World War II showed all its destruction. The consequences were catastrophic. Millions of people killed, the creation of all forms of hatred and intolerance, genocide, destroyed infrastructure are some of the results of the most devastating conflict in human history. With the end of the war, international politics changed course and tried to point out the meaninglessness of the war. To this end, specific measures have been taken to protect life, and all the meaninglessness of war has been accentuated. Thus the Declaration of human rights was made in 1948. This document was adopted through joint action at the international level. The Declaration strictly forbids slavery, torture, discrimination, and puts at the forefront the right to liberty, thought, life, protection of privacy, and several measures taken to protect humanity.

An international organization of the United Nations was created for the same purpose. This organization was formed immediately after the end of the 1945 war. It aims at maintaining global peace, enhancing social and economic development, and protecting the environment, as well as providing assistance to places where populations need help due to war and natural disasters.

The Nuremberg process is an event in the German city of Nuremberg, where the Nazis were tried. Several of Hitler's high-ranking supporters were on the defendants' bench. Besides, the process aimed to determine the degree of responsibility of the defendants, the method also showed all the evil that Hitler "shone" in Europe. The process is the need to point out sin among humans and to make humanity aware of and resist this phenomenon. The trial was relatively short, and the evidence and testimony were incredibly poignant.

All of these events are relatively successful. Unfortunately, the wars to this day have not ended. However, an organization such as the UN has repeatedly fulfilled its mission of helping the population. The Declaration of Human Rights lives on, at least in much of Europe, the united states and some other democracies in the world.
