The Montgomery Bus Boycott was an event for civil rights. Buses used to be segregated. The whites sat in front and the blacks in the back. Rosa Parks, a colored person, was sitting in the back and refused to move to the back because she was tired. She was forcefully moved from her seat and arrested. Black people all over the South started to sit in the front and refused to move after this incident. They eventually were forcefully moved off the bus and a few were arrested.
N 1940, France was swiftly defeated by Nazi Germany<span>, and colonial administration of </span>French Indochina<span> (modern-day </span>Vietnam<span>, </span>Laos<span> and </span>Cambodia<span>) passed to the pro-German </span>Vichy French government<span>. Later that year, the Vichy government ceded control of </span>Hanoi<span> and </span>Saigon<span> to </span>Japan; and in 1941, Japan extended its control over the whole of French Indochina. The United States, concerned by this expansion, put embargoes on exports of steel and oil to Japan. The desire to escape these embargoes and become resource self-sufficient ultimately led to Japan's decision on December 7, 1941 to attack the British Empire in Hong Kong, Malaya and Singapore and simultaneously the USA at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This led to the USA declaring war against Japan. The US then joined the British Empire, already at war with Germany since 1939, and its existing allies in the fight against the Axis nations.<span>[1]</span>
