Opium Wars, two armed conflicts in China in the mid-19th century between the forces of Western countries and of the Qing dynasty, which ruled China from 1644 to 1911/12. The first Opium War (1839–42) was fought between China and Britain, and the second Opium War (1856–60), also known as the Arrow War or the Anglo-French War in China, was fought by Britain and France against China. In each case the foreign powers were victorious and gained commercial privileges and legal and territorial concessions in China. The conflicts marked the start of the era of unequal treaties and other inroads on Qing sovereignty that helped weaken and ultimately topple the dynasty in favour of republican China in the early 20th century.

Why was Mao Zedong able to enact major reforms like the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward so quickly?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
Mao Zedong was able to enact major reforms like the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward so quickly because he was a dictator and had all the power to create laws and legislation in China. He was the one who instilled Communism in China and formed the People's Republic of China when he got to power. That is why he was able to enact major reforms such as the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward with no opposition at all.
Mao Zedong never thought that this Great Leap Forward would result in a major disaster and a big famine. The worst in the history of China. Mao's original idea had been to launch China into an industrial revolution to create factories and fabrics to modernize China. However, the result was the opposite.

"As the Secretary-General and others have argued, if U.N. peacekeeping is to be a sound security investment for our nation and for other U.N. members, it must adapt to new times. Together we must prepare U.N. peacekeeping for the 21st century. We need to begin by bringing the rigors of military and political analysis to every U.N. peace mission.
In recent weeks in the Security Council, our Nation has begun asking harder questions about proposals for new peacekeeping missions: Is there a real threat to international peace? Does the proposed mission have clear objectives? Can an end point be identified for those who will be asked to participate? How much will the mission cost? From now on, the United Nations should address these and other hard questions for every proposed mission before we vote and before the mission begins.”
President Bill Clinton, addressing the United Nations about peacekeeping missions, 1993

"It is 15 years since the genocide of over a million Rwandan Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The ramifications of this tragedy are felt by genocide survivors, their children and Rwandans everywhere. We gather here today to honour the memory of the victims and reflect upon the challenges faced by survivors. The 15th Commemoration of the Genocide in Rwanda was marked earlier today at Nyanza, Kicukiro. In April 1994 about five thousand men, women and children had sought refuge with the Belgian contingent of the United Nations peacekeeping force, based at the E.T.O (a technical school), near Nyanza-Kicukiro. Even though they were surrounded by their killers, the UN force withdrew, leaving them to be slaughtered by Interahamwe militias and the then Rwandan Armed Forces. This site symbolises the international community’s failure in Rwanda and serves as a warning to world leaders of the consequences of ignoring the propagation of ethnic or religious hatred and of failing and abdicating their responsibility to protect people from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.”
Rwandan professor Joseph Nsengimana, speaking to the United Nations on the anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, 2009
How did the events described in Source 2 influence world powers’ stance on foreign intervention in the late 1990s and early 2000s?
The use of military force to prevent humanitarian crises increased.
The international community further limited peacekeepers' roles.
World powers contributed more troops to United Nations peacekeeping forces.
Less-developed countries could no longer rely on outside forces to protect innocent lives.
Answer:
World powers contributed more troops to United Nations peacekeeping forces
Explanation:
According to both Source 1 and Source 2, it is described that the UN peacekeeping has come under increased scrutiny based on how they acted or failed to act in peacekeeping missions.
In Source 2, Rwandan professor Joseph Nsengimana spoke on how the UN soldiers allowed the local militia to maim and murder over 3 million people in the Rwandan genocide and how they let the Rwandan people down.
The events described in Source 2 influenced world powers’ stance on foreign intervention in the late 1990s and early 2000s by making them contribute more troops to United Nations peacekeeping forces.

How do you think military service changed the lives of black Americans?
Why do you think white supremacists found black veterans so threatening?
Explanation:
Many African Americans hoped that with their service, it would bring upon a new age of equality, as they fulfilled their necessary sacrifice for the country, the thought that maybe they would get the treatment they had been hoping for for centuries. But not much changed when they got home. In fact, it was in some ways worse than before. Many white supremacists were outwardly violent towards, and harshly outspoken against black veterans. Likely, white supremacists found black veterans threatening, as if they were a veteran, they had received training to defend themselves, and/or others.
