Answer:

There were a few conditions that allowed Christianity to grow and eventually thrive in the Roman Empire. Christianity emerged during the Pax Romana (Roman Peace), this was a time of relative peace in the empire and limited expansion. It was also the time when the Roman Empire was at its height. St. Paul, the apostle, was able to travel throughout the Mediterranean to different parts of the empire with relative ease in order to spread the message of Christianity. The fact that he possessed Roman citizenship was very helpful as well.

Another favorable condition was the fact that Koine Greek was well known among educated people in many parts of the Roman world. Paul and other Christians were able to easily communicate with one another throughout the Roman Empire. Rome's postal service was very sophisticated and reliable for its time and long distance correspondence was commonplace.

Which of the following best summarizes how the conflicts in Rwanda in 1994 are related to the Holocaust

Blizzard [7]

Response: The events in Rwanda show that genocide can still happen, despite the impact of the Holocaust.

Explanation/context:

The genocide in Rwanda had arisen out of problems created by colonialism in that country. The Dutch colonial government had favored the Tutsi people over the Hutus. That played into the violence by Hutus against Tutsis when the Hutus came into power in Rwanda. When the genocide began to occur, the international community mostly did nothing. Bill Clinton, who was America's president at the time, refers to inaction toward the Rwanda situation as one of the greatest regrets of his presidency.

The Holocaust was an act of genocide, motivated by racial hatred of a people -- in that case, Jewish people. Similarly, the genocide in Rwanda was motivated by racial and ethnic hatred which had been inflamed by the way that Dutch colonial governors favored one tribal group over another based on a lighter shade of skin color.
