How did the women's march against apartheid end?​

History
1 answer:
MrMuchimi2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Although African men had been required to carry passes for many decades, only in the 1950s did the government impose pass laws on African women. African women were not allowed to live in towns unless they had permission to be employed there, and extending pass laws to them made it more difficult for women without jobs to take their children and join their husbands in town. Across the country, dozens of protests against passing laws for African women took place before the Federation of South African Women (formed in 1955) and the African National Congress Women’s League organized a massive protest march in Pretoria.

On August 9, 1956, 20,000 women, representing all racial backgrounds, came from all over South Africa to march on the Union Buildings, where they stood in silent protest for 30 minutes while petitions with 100,000 signatures were delivered to the Prime Minister’s office. Many men in the anti-apartheid movement were surprised by the women’s militancy, and the protest contributed to women playing a bigger role in the struggle for freedom and democracy. August 9th now is celebrated as National Women’s Day in South Africa.

Describe the consequences of Hitler (Germany) and Stalin’s (Russia) early alliance
Natasha_Volkova [10]
They were creating an alliance despite the fact that Communists (Stalin) hate Fascists (Hitler) and vice verse. They set aside their differences in order to come together since they were both powerful dictators that controlled menacing nations.

They banded together publicly under the Axis Powers, but they also secretly planned to split Poland between them. They (Stalin and Hitler/Russia and Germany) both promised and agreed to not attack the other in a treaty...but Hitler broke the treaty and attacked Stalin and the USSR...(This is known as one of Hitler’s greatest mistakes.)

This is what caused Stalin and the USSR to join the Allied Powers. (Great Britain, France and later, USA.)

This left Hitler’s Germany to be fighting only beside Mussolini’s Italy. They also had an alliance with Japan, but since Japan was so far away, they weren’t involved in the World Wars much and focused solely on conflicts outside of Europe.

I hope this helps!

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

To summaries, having analysed Zionism, Arab nationalism and British foreign policy as three key causes of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, as well as three major consequences of the war, this essay can conclude that the 1948 Arab-Israeli war was a highly complex conflict with its origins going as far back as biblical times.
