Answer:

The siege of the International Legations occurred in 1900 in Peking, the capital of the Qing Empire, during the Boxer Rebellion. Menaced by the Boxers, an anti-Christian, anti-foreign peasant movement, 900 soldiers, sailors, marines, and civilians, largely from Europe, Japan, and the United States, and about 2,800 Chinese Christians took refuge in the Peking Legation Quarter. The Qing government took the side of the Boxers after the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Tianjin at the Battle of the Taku Forts (1900), without a formal declaration of war. The foreigners and Chinese Christians in the Legation Quarter survived a 55-day siege by the Qing Army and Boxers. The siege was broken by an international military force which marched from the coast of China, defeated the Qing army, and occupied Peking (now known as Beijing). The siege was called by the New York Sun "the most exciting episode ever known to civilization."

The Legation Quarter was approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) long and 1 mi (1.6 km) wide. It was located in the area of the city designated by the Qing government for foreign legations. In 1900, there were 11 legations located in the quarter as well as a number of foreign businesses and banks. Ethnic Chinese-occupied houses and businesses were also scattered about the quarter. The 12 or so Christian missionary organizations in Beijing were not located in the Legation Quarter, but rather dispersed around the city. In total, there were about 500 citizens of Western countries and Japan residing in the city. The northern end of the Legation quarter was near the Imperial City where the Empress Dowager Cixi resided. The southern end was bounded by the massive Tartar Wall which ringed the entire city of Beijing.[2] The eastern and western ends were major streets.

In order to produce a multimedia presentation that showcases the political realignments of the 1960s, it is essential to carry out in-depth research on the topic.

<h3 /><h3>What facts marked the 1960 election?</h3>

The election of Democrat John F. Kennedy, who defeated Republican Vice President Richard Nixon. That election was marred by the terms of the 22nd Amendment, which made the incumbent president ineligible for a third term.

Some facts that can be included in the multimedia presentation are President-elect Kennedy's efforts in the Cold War and in the space race, with the aim of developing America and achieving international prestige.

Therefore, when preparing your multimedia presentation, it is essential to research reliable sources, use visual resources and prepare in advance for an effective presentation.

What are two events that caused Americans to become disillusioned with the Federal government during the first half of the '70s?
Hoochie [10]
<span>General Ford,became VP after Spiro Agnew resigned (this includes the bribery scandal!!!) and became president after Watergate scandal forced Nixon in August 1974, he pardoned Nixon and pushed a very forceful conservative domestic policy, but was way more than a caretaker president when the respect for government was at an all-time low, thus being said, Spiro Agnew was only the beginning but it was the election of General Ford, and the pardon of Richard Nixon that really set America on edge! Hope this was helpful, have a great day!</span>
