Answer:

I believe and consider Nelson Mandela to be a hero because his ways of working things out was bringing himself and his people a better life. On the other hand, Augusto Pinochet, I consider him a villain because he was responsible for many tragedies, yet never really charged for them.

Background

Nelson Mandela was a South African activist, politician, anti-apartheid, and a philanthropist.

Born: July 18, 1918

Died: December 5, 2013

Augusto Pinochet was a Chilean dictator that took his power for granted and gave himself a bad history, although he didn't see it that way.

Born: November 25, 1915

Died: 2006

Contributions

Nelson Mandela taught his nation the real meaning of activism, showed his power for human spirit, brought Apartheid to an end, became first black president of South Africa, and remained devoted to the idea of peace and justice.

Augusto Pinochet, wasn't really a positive contributor. He violated the peoples' rights, ruined education for some, snatched job opportunies, canceled elections that were for good causes, illegally elected himself as president, and he was known for dividing rather than uniting.

Legacy

Nelson Mandela caused a positive impact around the world. He became a representation of an achievement with dedication to a good cause. He also brought peaceful protests and when needed, armed resistance.

Augusto Pinochet is remembered as a cold-hearted who tortured and murdered thousands of people. Murdered/disappeared more than 3,200 and tortured about 28,000. Chile's military today doesn't want to recognize him and political groups that favored him, now reject him and his family.

Pinochet Haunted Chile

Here is a short video of Pinochet's life in power.

Conclusion

I chose Mandela as a hero because he is someone I've always been inspired by. He taught to stand up for good causes and remain devoted, until you achieve it.

I chose Pinochet as a villain because I believe he didn't have what it took to be a presisdent, he shouldn't have had any power whatsoever. He was resposible for thousands of deaths

which two sentences explain why the Delhi sultanate did not convert the majority of indians to islam?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Well I can't see the possible sentences, but muslims were a minority in India at the time and the population was predominantly Hindu. Forcing the majority of the population to change their religion forcibly (and through that many of their core values, beliefs, traditions and practices) was a quick way to create political unrest which could lead to a revolution. They we're already a minority ruling a large and powerful nation, so they were already dealing with a lot of resistance from the population as it was. Maybe they wanted to practice tolerance for moral reasons, but more likely they just didn't want to push their luck when they were already struggling to remain popular.

Furkat [3]

It was the federal companies that built some of the first road of the nation.

Explanation:

Route 40 or the transnational road came into existence in 1811 as Jefferson and Washington had envisioned for modern roads to connect the whole nation.

This project was done over the next two decades.

These roads were not like the roads we have now whoever.

Those roads which are pave roads of concrete came into existence in 1909 and were mostly built by private companies in this century.

Even now only 70 percent of the roads in US are paved because of the rugged terrains in large parts of the country.
