What did the independence of South Africa from Great Britain cause to happen?
What conflict broke out in Nigeria after independence was declared?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The Nigerian Civil War (also known as the Biafran War, Biafran Genocide and the Nigerian-Biafran War) was a civil war in Nigeria fought between the government of Nigeria headed by General Yakubu Gowon and the secessionist state of Biafra led by late Lt. Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu (1933–2011) from 6 July 1967 to 15 January 1970. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included ethno-religious violence and anti-Igbo progroms in Northern Nigeria, a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta also played a vital strategic role.

Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imposed during the ensuing stalemate led to mass starvation. During the two and half years of the war, there were about 100,000 overall military casualties, while between 500,000 and 2 million Biafran civilians died of starvation.In mid-1968, images of malnourished and starving Biafran children saturated the mass media of Western countries. The plight of the starving Biafrans became a cause célèbre in foreign countries, enabling a significant rise in the funding and prominence of international non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The United Kingdom and the Soviet Union were the main supporters of the Nigerian government, while France, Israel and some other countries supported Biafra.

Argue the benefit of chemistry to the field of forensic science, using a specific example.

Answers

Answer:

A strong background in chemistry and instrumental analysis and a good grounding in criminalistics are vital. An undergraduate degree in forensic science or a natural science is required for work in crime laboratories, with extensive coursework in mathematics, chemistry, and biology. More advanced positions, such as lab managers and supervisors, might require a master’s degree. A Ph.D. is often preferred for advancement to positions such as lab director, but it is required for forensic research positions at academic institutions. Arsonists, for example, often use accelerants such as gasoline or kerosene to speed combustion and spread flames in the interior of a building. A forensic chemist may collect samples of burned and unburned materials, extract the volatile hydrocarbons, and separate the components for analysis by gas chromatography

A solid background in chemistry and instrumental analysis, as well as a solid understanding of criminalistics, is required. For employment in crime laboratories, an undergraduate degree in forensic science or a natural science is necessary, as well as courses in math, biology, and chemistry. A Ph.D. is typically necessary for forensic research roles at university institutions, but it is often desired for progression to positions such as lab director. Arsonists, for example, frequently employ accelerants like gasoline or kerosene to accelerate burning and spread flames throughout a structure. A forensic chemist can take samples of both burned and unburned materials, extract the volatile hydrocarbons, and separate the components for gas chromatography examination.

What are characteristics of kami, according to Shintoism? Choose two correct answers.

They can have both good and evil qualities.
They are often found in places of natural beauty.
They are guides along the path to Enlightenment.
They are the main gods and goddesses of Buddhism.
They have laws related to organizing government and family.

Answers

Shinto does not have a founder nor does it have sacred scriptures like the sutras or the Bible. Propaganda and preaching are not common either, because Shinto is deeply rooted in the Japanese people and traditions.

"Shinto gods" are called kami. They are sacred spirits which take the form of things and concepts important to life, such as wind, rain, mountains, trees, rivers and fertility. Humans become kami after they die and are revered by their families as ancestral kami. The kami of extraordinary people are even enshrined at some shrines. The Sun Goddess Amaterasu is considered Shinto's most important kami.

Answer:

They can have both good and evil qualities.

They are often found in places of natural beauty.

Proficiency in which of the following ancient Chinese art forms factored into imperial examinations?
A. calligraphy
B. porcelain production
C. working with jade
D. silk production

Answers

Answer:

I think it's A

Explanation:

I think its 'A' because the Chinese did factor into the art forms with this "Besides literary performances, calligraphy skill was of vital importance to the candidates - a faulty brushstroke would reduce a candidate's placement and a poor handwriting would cause its writer being eliminated. " "poetry, and the application of Confucian learning to matters of public policy and statecraft; in later centuries, the prominence of poetry in the exams declined significantly. Though in some periods exams were hand-copied by scribes in order to eliminate favoritism from judges who might recognize a candidate's handwriting, in most periods the candidate's calligraphy"
I think it’s b because jade was a valuable jewel in the Chinese culture and still is today
