Which African American was the first black person to get a doctorate from Harvard University?

What was the significance of the adoption of Orthodox Christianity by Kievan Russia?

RUDIKE [14]

Kievan Russia grew from the trade cities founded by Swedish Varangians. Kiev became the dominant city under Vladimir I, whose conversion to Orthodox Christianity and marriage to a Byzantine princess oriented Kiev toward Byzantium. Kiev thus became a bulwark against the spread of Latin Christianity.

Leona [35]

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.

A Glimpse

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

What was one result of the War of 1812?

Gnom [1K]

The War of 1812 (1812–1815) was a conflict fought between the United States and the United Kingdom and their respective allies. Historians in Britain often see it as a minor theater of the Napoleonic Wars; however, in the United States and Canada, it is seen as a war in its own right.

Since the outbreak of war with Napoleonic France, Britain had enforced a naval blockade to choke off neutral trade to France, which the United States contested as illegal under international law. In order to man the blockade, Britain forcibly impressed American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy. The British were in turn outraged by the <span>Little Belt Affair</span>, which resulted in the deaths of 11 British sailors.[5][6] Moreover, British political support for a Native American buffer state, which conducted raids on American settlers on the frontier, hindered American expansion.[7] On June 18, 1812, President James Madison signed the American declaration of war into law.[8] The British government felt it had done everything in its power to try to avert the war and was therefore dismayed by the American declaration. Senior figures such as Lord Liverpool and Lord Castlereagh believed it to have been an opportunistic ploy by President Madison to annex Canada while Britain was fighting a war with France. The view was shared in much of New England, whose leaders bitterly disputed the numbers of US sailors the War Hawks claimed had been impressed by the British.

With the majority of its military deployed in Europe to fight Napoleon, the British adopted a defensive strategy, though the war's first engagement was an ill-fated assault on Sacket's Harbor, New York. American prosecution of the war effort suffered from its unpopularity, especially in New England, where it was derogatorily referred to as "Mr. Madison's War". American defeats at Detroit and Queenston thwarted attempts to seize Upper Canada, improving British morale.[9][10]American attempts to invade Montreal also failed. In 1813, the Americans won control of Lake Erie and shattered Tecumseh's Confederacy, securing a primary war goal.[11] At sea, the powerful Royal Navy blockaded the American coast, allowing them to strike American trade at will. In 1814, one of these raids burned the capital, Washington. The Americans subsequently repulsed British attempts to invade the north and mid-Atlantic states.

At home, the British faced mounting opposition to wartime taxation, and demands to reopen trade with America. With the abdication of Napoleon, the maintenance of the blockade of France, as well as the issue of the impressment of American sailors, were nullified. Peace negotiations began in August 1814, and the Treaty of Ghent was signed on December 24 later that year. However, news of the peace would not reach America for some time. Unaware that the treaty had been signed, British forces launched an invasion of Louisiana, which was decisively defeated in January 1815.[12] The battle was seen to have restored American honour after a mediocre war effort, and led to the collapse of anti-war sentiment. News of the treaty arrived shortly thereafter, halting military operations. The treaty was unanimously ratified by the United States on February 17, 1815, ending the war with no boundary changes.
