Question

Write a two- or three-paragraph journal entry reflecting on U.S. foreign policy during the long 19th century (1776 – 1914).

Answer 1

The answers and their explantion are thus:

1. Guatemala. The Mayas were originally inhabitants of the entire Yucatan Peninsula, from Mexico, to Central American countries such as Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. They faced many difficult wars, especially in ancient times, but even more so after the conquest by the Spanish, in the 15th  century.

2. The genocide in Darfur resulted from a struggle between the Arab nomadic tribes and non-Arab agricultural groups. This genocide took place in 2003, and it was known as the War on Darfur, or the Land Cruiser War. It was a violent response from the Sudan government to non-Arab inhabitants after the SLM and JEM movements began fighting the government.

3. The last one is: The Tutsi were victims of genocide in Rwanda, at the hands of the Hutu rulers. This happened in 1994, at the Rwandan Civil war. The Hutu, the leading tribe in Rwanda, decided to eliminate moderate Hutus and the Tutsi.
