what is decolonization? (5 or more sentences required)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Decolonization, process by which colonies become independent of the colonizing country. Decolonization was gradual and peaceful for some British colonies largely settled by expatriates but violent for others, where native rebellions were energized by nationalism. After World War II, European countries generally lacked the wealth and political support necessary to suppress faraway revolts; they also faced opposition from the new superpowers, the U.S. and the Soviet Union, both of which had taken positions against colonialism. Korea was freed in 1945 by Japan’s defeat in the war. The U.S. relinquished the Philippines in 1946. Britain left India in 1947, Palestine in 1948, and Egypt in 1956; it withdrew from Africa in the 1950s and ’60s, from various island protectorates in the 1970s and ’80s, and from Hong Kong in 1997. The French left Vietnam in 1954 and gave up its North African colonies by 1962. Portugal gave up its African colonies in the 1970s; Macau was returned to the Chinese in 1999.

How did La Raza use resistance to live up to our idea of freedom, equality, and democracy?

Answers

After demanding both political and military action on removing Native American Indians from the southern states of America in 1829, President Andrew Jackson signed this into law on May 28, 1830. Although it only gave the right to negotiate for their withdrawal from areas to the east of the Mississippi river and that relocation was supposed to be voluntary, all of the pressure was there to make this all but inevitable. All the tribal leaders agreed after Jackson’s landslide election victory in 1832.

It is generally acknowledged that this act spelled the end of Indian Rights to live in those states under their own traditional laws. They were forced to assimilate and concede to US law or leave their homelands. The Indian Nations themselves were force to move and ended up in Oklahoma.

The five major tribes affected were the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole. These were called The Civilised Tribes that had already taken on a degree of integration into a more modern westernised culture, such as developing written language and learning to read and write.

It overturned the more concessionary attitude of ex-President George Washington that aimed for ‘acculturation’ after debate with the Indian Nations. Even in those distant times, there was heated debate in congress with such famous names as the future president Abraham Lincoln and Davy Crockett speaking out against it. Now it is considered with serious negativity by all involved.

At acient who was the king in kandyan kingdom​

Answers

Answer:

The Kingdom of Kandy was a monarchy on the island of Sri Lanka, located in the central and eastern portion of the island. It was founded in the late 15th century and endured until the early 19th century.

Initially a client kingdom of the Kingdom of Kotte, Kandy gradually established itself as an independent force during the tumultuous 16th and 17th centuries, allying at various times with the Jaffna Kingdom, the Madurai Nayak dynasty of South India, Sitawaka Kingdom, and the Dutch colonizers to ensure its survival.

From the 1590s, it was the sole independent native polity on the island of Sri Lanka and through a combination of hit-and-run tactics and diplomacy kept European colonial forces at bay, before finally succumbing to British colonial rule in 1818.

The kingdom was absorbed into the British Empire as a protectorate following the Kandyan Convention of 1815, and definitively lost its autonomy following the Uva Rebellion of 1817.

Explanation:

If all men and women in a society participate actively in civic life or be co-operative with each other socially, then such arrangements in society are beneficial for all as all are there to help each other. Such a cohesive bonding in a society is not possible if in case people do not involve with each other (as per option B), consider one self (as presented in option D) and Only believe that all are equal but do not do any thing (as presented in option A).

By 1918 the USA had become the world's wealthiest and most powerful country, yet
in 1929 it was the source of the Great Depression.
In the light of the above statement, explain briefly why the USA was so rich and
powerful, and then explain the causes of the Great Depression in 1929.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following

It is true that by 1918 the USA had become the world's wealthiest and most powerful country after all the loans and deep debt of western European countries resulted from World War I.

However, in 1929,  the United States was the source of the Great Depression.

So as we have mentioned, the United States was so rich for the loans made during World War I, the size of its industry, and that western Europeans had a deep debt and owed too much money to the US.

During the 1920s, the US lived a fantastic economic period known as "the Roaring 1920s," in which people buy many necessary and unnecessary things, mostly on credit. We are talking about cars, houses, and electro domestics.

That generated a deep debt. On the other hand, the speculation of investors in the stock market created a bubble that could not be contained. And on October 29, 1929, the United States marked crashed, and this represented the beginning of the Great Depression, starting the worst economic crisis in the history of the United States.

After the US stock market crashed, millions of Americans lost their jobs, companies broke, and banks went into bankruptcy.
