Answers
Answer:
B. The characteristics of terrorism are hard to define.
Explanation:
(Check for photo proof at the bottom.)
Terrorism dates back all the way to the 1700's. Since then, the acts and reasons behind terrorism has changed over the centuries. The word derives from the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century. In 1798, the Académie Française, the French council for matters pertaining to the French language, defined terrorism for the first time; it meant a “system or rule of terror.” In the 1800's, terrorism changed from it's initial definition. The 19th century was a period when nationalist movements broke out across Europe. They mostly involved violent attacks against the government to achieve political goals, such as assassination of political figures. In the 1900's and 2000's, terrorist attacks mostly involved targeting civilians and using religious reasons to justify their actions. Starting in the 1960s, the United Nations held several meetings aimed at defining terrorist acts. However, because terrorism was used for very different reasons, certain countries refused to universally outlaw its use. To this day, world leaders struggle to define terrorism.

What were the destinations within Africa for the slave trade? in the Near East? in South Asia?
Answers
Answer:
Map 1: Overview of the slave trade out of Africa, 1500-1900
Captive Africans followed many routes from their homelands to other parts of the world. The map shows the trans-Atlantic movement of these captives in comparative perspective for the centuries since 1500 only. Estimates of the ocean-borne trade are more robust than are those for the trans-Saharan, Red Sea and Persian Gulf routes, but it is thought that for the period from the end of the Roman Empire to 1900 about the same number of captives crossed the Atlantic as left Africa by all other routes combined.
Map 2: Migration of sugar cultivation from Asia into the Atlantic
Sugar cultivation began in the Pacific in the pre-Christian era and gradually spread to the eastern Mediterranean, the Gulf of Guinea, then to Brazil, before entering the Caribbean in the mid-seventeenth century. Eighty percent of all captives carried from Africa were taken to sugar-growing areas.
Map 3: Old World slave trade routes in the Atlantic before 1759
Before the Atlantic slave trade began and for two centuries thereafter, some African captives were taken to Europe as well as to the Atlantic islands and between African ports. It is hard to get precise estimates of these flows, but they were certainly much smaller than the trans-Atlantic traffic. Many of the captives involved in this traffic were subsequently carried to sugar plantations in the Old World.
Map 4: Wind and ocean currents of the Atlantic basins
In the age of sail, winds and ocean currents shaped the direction of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, effectively creating two separate slave-trading systems, one in the north with voyages originating in Europe and North America, the other in the south with voyages originating in Brazil.
Map 5: Major regions and ports involved in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, all years
Few commercial centers in the Atlantic world were untouched by the slave trade, and all the major ports had strong connections with the traffic.
Map 6: Countries and regions in the Atlantic World where slave voyages were organized, by share of captives carried off from Africa
Slave voyages were organized and left from all major Atlantic ports at some point over the nearly four centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Nevertheless, vessels from the largest seven ports, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Liverpool, London, Nantes, Bristol, and Pernambuco carried off almost three-quarters of all captives removed from Africa via the Atlantic Ocean. There was a major shift in the organization of slaving voyages first from the Iberian peninsular to Northern Europe, and then later back again to ports in southern Europe. A similar, but less pronounced shift may be observed in the Americas from South to North and then back again.
Total documented embarkations: 8,973,701 captives
Percent of estimated embarkations: 72.1%
Map 7: Major coastal regions from which captives left Africa, all years
The limits of the regions shown here are 'Senegambia,' anywhere north of the Rio Nunez. Sierra Leone region comprises the Rio Nunez to just short of Cape Mount. The Windward Coast is defined as Cape Mount south-east to and including the Assini river. The Gold Coast runs east of here up to and including the Volta River. Bight of Benin covers the Rio Volta to Rio Nun, and the Bight of Biafra, east of the Nun to Cape Lopez inclusive. West-central Africa is defined as the rest of the western coast of the continent south of this point, and south-eastern Africa anywhere from and to the north and east of the Cape of Good Hope. West-Central Africa was the largest regional departure point for captives through most the slave trade era. Regions closer to the Americas and Europe generated a relatively small share of the total carried across the Atlantic. Voyage length was determined as much by wind and ocean currents shown in Map 4 as by relative proximity of ports of embarkation and disembarkation.
Total documented embarkations: 7,878,500 captives
Percent of estimated embarkations: 63.3%
Map 8: Major regions where captives disembarked, all years
The Caribbean and South America received 95 percent of the slaves arriving in the Americas. Some captives disembarked in Africa rather than the Americas because their trans-Atlantic voyage was diverted as a result of a slave rebellion or, during the era of suppression, because of capture by patrolling naval cruisers. Less than 4 percent disembarked in North America, and only just over 10,000 in Europe.
Total documented embarkations: 9,371,001 captives
Percent of estimated embarkations: 88.5%

Answer:
Cuban Missile Crisis was the greatest confrontation between two countries during the Cold War. At that time, the first man in the USSR was Nikita Khrushchev, and the president of the USA was John F. Kennedy. Although the crisis ended without consequences it increased the tension between two countries.
Explanation:
It all started when the Soviet Union set up missile systems in Cuba, only 150 kilometers away from the United States. The introduction to the Cuban crisis were photographs of Soviet missiles in Cuba.
Despite military pressure, Kennedy decided on a naval blockade.
On Tuesday, October 23, 1962, Khrushchev announced that he did not accept the blockade and threatened that, in the event of an attempt by the American invasion of Cuba, the USSR would retaliate with nuclear missiles.
Incidents between Soviet and American planes, ships and submarines became more frequent in those days.
Relief arrived on Sunday, October 28, when the Soviet government finally agreed to dismantle weapons in Cuba and return them to the Soviet Union.

In his address, Biden called upon Trump to make a formal national address to condemn the mob attacking the capital. Was Biden justified to make this request, and should Trump have listened? Do you think Trump should make a formal address condemning those who breached security at the Capitol?
Answers
Answer:
Yes, yes, and yes.
Explanation:
Putting political opinions aside for a moment, what happened at the capitol was absolutely devistating and disturbing. Biden, as president elect, had every right to make this request as he will be taking Trump's spot in six days. It is his job to ensure that America runs smoothly and it is important that even before he is inagurated, he is making strides to ensure that domestic terrorists are adressed and handled. As for Trump listening to Biden's request, we all know that Trump does his own thing and sports his "I don't listen to anyone but myself" ego. However, as the people who terrorized the US capitol were there on Trump's behalf, were his supporters, sporting his merchandise, and defaced a sacred US building on Trump's behalf, the least he could have done was release a statement adressing his supporters without egging on their antics. It is Trump's duty to keep America at peace with itself and uphold the constitution. Trump should also make a formal address condemning the actions at the capitol and those who committed the acts. As I said previous, it is Trump's duty to keep America at peace with itself and uphold the constitution. By not making an official statement and condemning the acts, he is saying that it is okay for his supporters to do such things. Instead, he called them "special people" and practically applauded them for their actions.
