Answer:

Red Guards, Chinese (Pinyin) Hongweibing or (Wade-Giles romanization) Hung-Wei-Ping, in Chinese history, groups of militant university and high school students formed into paramilitary units as part of the Cultural Revolution (1966–76). These young people often wore green jackets similar to the uniforms of the Chinese army at the time, with red armbands attached to one of the sleeves. They were formed under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1966 to help party chairman Mao Zedong combat “revisionist” authorities—i.e., those party leaders Mao considered as being insufficiently revolutionary. Mao was thus making a bid to regain control of the CCP from his colleagues, but the Red Guards who responded in August 1966 to his summons fancied themselves as new revolutionary rebels pledged to eliminating all remnants of the old culture in China, as well as purging all supposedly bourgeois elements within the government. Several million Red Guards journeyed to Beijing to meet with Mao in eight massive demonstrations late in 1966, and the total number of Red Guards throughout the country may have reached 11 million at some point.

While engaging in marches, meetings, and frenzied propagandizing, Red Guard units attacked and persecuted local party leaders as well as schoolteachers and school officials, other intellectuals, and persons of traditional views. Several hundred thousand people died in the course of these persecutions. By early 1967 Red Guard units were overthrowing existing party authorities in towns, cities, and entire provinces. These units soon began fighting among themselves, however, as various factions vied for power amidst each one’s claims that it was the true representative of Maoist thought. The Red Guards’ increasing factionalism and their total disruption of industrial production and Chinese urban life caused the government in 1967–68 to urge the Red Guards to retire into the countryside. The Chinese military was called in to restore order throughout the country, and from this point, the Red Guard movement gradually subsided.

5. What impacts did the women's movement have in the United<br> States?<br> Answer ASAP pleaseeeeeee
natka813 [3]

Answer:

For many years in the United States, women have been disenfranchised, this led to the birth of the movement that women should be allowed to vote also. The women's suffrage movement was a decades-long fight that was aimed to win the right to vote for women in the United States. It took the “fighters” and reformers of the movement nearly a century to win that right, However, disagreement over strategy tried to cripple the movement more than once before they eventually came out victorious.

The women suffrage movement has been regarded as "the first mass women's movement in US history". The result of the movement then however explain the reason women are allowed to vote today. Women backed the prohibition more than men

When building the panama canal what problems occurred
9966 [12]

The Panama Canal (Spanish: Canal de Panamá) is an artificial 48-mile (77 km) waterway in Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean. The canal cuts across the Isthmus of Panama and is a key conduit for international maritime trade. There are locks at each end to lift ships up to Gatun Lake, an artificial lake created to reduce the amount of excavation work required for the canal, 26 metres (85 ft) above sea level, and then lower the ships at the other end. The original locks are 33.5 metres (110 ft) wide. A third, wider lane of locks was constructed between September 2007 and May 2016. The expanded canal began commercial operation on June 26, 2016. The new locks allow transit of larger, Post-Panamax ships, capable of handling more cargo.[1]

France began work on the canal in 1881 but stopped due to engineering problems and a high worker mortality rate. The United States took over the project in 1904 and opened the canal on August 15, 1914. One of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken, the Panama Canal shortcut greatly reduced the time for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, enabling them to avoid the lengthy, hazardous Cape Horn route around the southernmost tip of South America via the Drake Passage or Strait of Magellan.

Colombia, France, and later the United States controlled the territory surrounding the canal during construction. The US continued to control the canal and surrounding Panama Canal Zone until the 1977 Torrijos–Carter Treaties provided for handover to Panama. After a period of joint American–Panamanian control, in 1999 the canal was taken over by the Panamanian government and is now managed and operated by the government-owned Panama Canal Authority.

Annual traffic has risen from about 1,000 ships in 1914, when the canal opened, to 14,702 vessels in 2008, for a total of 333.7 million Panama Canal/Universal Measurement System (PC/UMS) tons. By 2012, more than 815,000 vessels had passed through the canal. It takes six to eight hours to pass through the Panama Canal. The American Society of Civil Engineers has called the Panama Canal one of the seven wonders of the modern world.

Julli [10]

Answer:

The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk;

Ended Russia involvement in World War 1

Explanation:

With imminent tumble of the Russian government in March 1917, that led to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the led to weak provisional government being appointed which shared power with the Petrograd Soviet socialists.

Another October Revolution was followed which tumbled the provisional government and brought about the Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin

Into power, this was then accompanied in December 1917 by a truce and negotiations with Germany. Where the treaty was proposed, although Vladimir Lenin did not want to agree to the the treaty and German terms at First but with further military defeat by the Germans, and the Germans matching across to Ukraine without being stopped he agreed .

This brought the Russians to come to terms with the Central Powers through the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, this treaty granted the Germans a very crucial victory that resulted in Russia exiting the scene of the world war 1 and cutting their ties and allegiance with the Allied Powers.
