How did peter the great abuse his power?

History
1 answer:
Veronika [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Many monarchs throughout history have killed family members. England’s Henry VIII, for example, beheaded two wives and several cousins. Cleopatra engineered the murder of two siblings (one of whom was also her husband). And Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor, ordered the execution of his half-brother from a Spanish prison. But even those royals might have been aghast at the actions of Russian czar Peter the Great, who in 1718 had his eldest son tortured to death for allegedly conspiring against him.

Peter I, better known as Peter the Great, is generally credited with bringing Russia into the modern age. During his time as czar, from 1682 until his death in 1725, he implemented a variety of reforms that included revamping the Russian calendar and alphabet and reducing the Orthodox Church’s autonomy. Peter even instituted a tax on beards as part of his efforts to make Russians look and act more like Western Europeans.

seropon [69]

Answer:

To decide whether to secede from the United States

Explanation:

The leaders of the South Carolina Ordinance of Secession of 1860 convention meet "to decide whether to secede from the United States."

This is evident in the fact that few days after the election of Abraham Lincoln, the South Carolina legislature called a convention that took place in Charleston, and eventually, on December 20, 1860, the convention agreed without opposition to secede from the United States.

How did president eisenhower respond to the aggression of england, france, and israel against egypt in 1956?
Scrat [10]
President Eisenhower condemned their aggression. He put the US Strategic Air Command on alert and threatened sanctions, ultimately forcing the British, French and Israelis to withdraw.

After Egypt's president Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal in October, 1956 (taking ownership and control of it for Egypt), Israel sent troops into the Sinai region to challenge the Egyptians.  British and French forces joined the Israelis within two days.  The European powers were interested in maintaining their stake in the control of the Suez Canal.   Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev threatened major retaliation, including nuclear missiles, against Britain and France if they did not withdraw.  (The Soviet Union was a sponsor of Egypt.)  America's response, issued by Eisenhower, was less radical, but still strong, threatening economic sanctions.  The "Suez Crisis," as it became known, thus ended within months.  The British and French withdrew troops in December, 1956, and Israel pulled its forces back by March of 1957.
