Answer:

1. The word 'tend' means 'disposed to', or 'frequently leads to' destruction.

2. He chose this subtitle for this section to explain how difficult it was for the French people to control the Vietnamese people.

3. Ruined means destruction.

4. The Vietnamese people were doing the ruining.

Explanation:

The article, "The Vietnam Wars," highlights the resistance put up by the Vietnamese people when other nations like the Chinese and French tried to subjugate them. In that section, the phrase, "Everything Tends to Ruin", was used by a French Military commander to summarize the frustration of the French people who tried to colonize the Vietnamese people.

The locals used their knowledge of the terrains to cause mayhem to their colonists. They resisted the schooling offered by the French people and rather embraced their culture. All ploys by the French colonists to subjugate them were met with resistance.

What are the most effective tools for establishing and<br> preserving freedom?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

There could be a number of answers to your question, as it is the sort of question calling for an essay in which you state a thesis and defend it. 

A possible thesis would be that the most effective tools for establishing and preserving freedom are effective legislatures and a fair and strongly functioning system of courts. 

Without effective legislatures (on the state and national level), laws and governance bog down and the rights and freedoms of citizens can be eroded by special interests or powerful individuals and groups. Without courts functioning fairly and firmly to uphold laws that protect citizens' civil rights and liberties, the freedom of all citizens can be compromised by those who have greater advantages of wealth or position. 

For another possible thesis, I would. point you to thoughts from Alexis de Tocqueville's famous work from the 1830s, Democracy in America. Tocqueville put great stress upon the direct involvement of all citizens in the democratic functioning of society, through things like service on juries in the court system and by their regular association with one another in civic groups. Tocqueville urged that in a democracy, individual citizens need to learn to unite in association with one another to work as a group to protect their freedoms against the encroachment of tyranny. Tocqueville said that the most democratic country on earth is, above all, where individuals have "most perfected the art of pursuing the object of their common desires in common." He thought there is a "necessary relation between associations and equality."

levacccp [35]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there is no text attached we can say that the connection between Gilmore's actions and the success of the Montgomery Bus Boycott is the following.

Georgia Gilmore (1920-1990) was an important figure during the Civil Rights movement in the South. Specifically, during the Montgomery Bus Boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, she was very connected with this movement in that she cooked and sold her food during the meetings and demonstrations in order to collect some money to donate to the movement. She was very committed to helping sustain the movement with her cooking, hoping the boycott could serve its original purpose.
