President Roosevelt, former governor of New York, did not believe in racial segregation of African-Americans and when African-Americans were hired to drive buses in Philadelphia during the war, some residents refused to ride the buses others threatened to burn the buses. Roosevelt sent troops to ride on the buses, eventually everyone realized that you need to catch the bus or else you would end up walking a long way so it was change even though it wasn’t much. No black pilots had ever been used before by the United States, one of the reasons is since in order to become a pilot, blacks had to achieve high-test scores and be college educated. However, in 1944 President Eisenhower supported integrated combat units and the air force began to let black Americans fly planes and even though they were only allowed to fly in segregated units it was a turning point. Overall, the Second World War was a turning point in the growth of the civil Rights of black Americans as it was a catalyst for change as it made black Americans more politically aware and feel that they had the right to demand change.
This was because government failed to provide the basics, such as food, for the citizens during the time of famine. This is what had caused the rebels to attack the government once again. The best Ming troops were later deployed along the Great Wall of China to protect the city from being invaded by any more rebels. Soon the Manchurians had come into play, and had offered the Ming commander the service to help drive out the rebels that had already invaded the city. The main problem to be faced was that once the rebels had been dispersed from the capital, the Manchurians refused to leave, and this had caused the Ming to move further down South.
In addition, the takeover of railway lines of the army thwarted food, armours and weapons to reach the army quickly. In Moscow only, they have been receiving 2,000 railway wagons of grain per month in 1914 but until 1916, it had been cutting down to 300 wagons. This was not enough to feed people in the city per day. This resulted in the people of Russian become irritated and take part in the strike forcing the Tsar to abdicate. Secondly, the economy of Russia was awfully damaged.
Reading 1 1- It turned out to be less than ideal for a seat of government or for a military base: the swamps made the location unhealthy and hard to reach, it was located too far from the port to transport goods, and it was difficult to defend. 2- The Spanish forced many Taínos to labor like slaves to mine gold and produce crops; this work and European diseases quickly pushed the indigenous population towards extinction. 3- In 1511, they began to rebel against the Spanish, but their primitive wooden weapons, stone axes, and arrows were no match for Spanish firearms. After their defeat, many fled to the Lesser Antilles, smaller Caribbean islands to the southeast, where they joined forces with the Caribes, a fierce tribe of
Firstly the lack of agricultural workers and horses to tend the fields as well as the takeover of the transport system by the military, hindered the food production of Russia. While Moscow was receiving 2,200 rail-carts of grain, however by 1916, only 300 carts were able to enter the city. This means that there was little food to go around, and when rumours of food cuts to already strained rations, turn to riots, in which the February revolution started. Secondly , the war crippled the Russian economy. Taking loans from Britain and France, as well as dropping the gold standard so as to print money (Robles), inflation was bound to rise.
This also meant that the land was not used to it full potential, all these factors lead to the famines and causing peasants to up rise using violence against government officials. This was on the verge of the revolution. The deep resentment from the peasantry towards the Tsar increased after the war as lots of money had being invested in the war and Russia had lost. Moreover, Sergei Witte had tried to improve the economy of Russia but it was to make sure that the Russian social order stayed the same. Due to industrialisation, factories were built which lead to rapid growth of population in the towns and cities for example from 98 million in 1885 to 125 million in 1905.
This decreased the income of money going into the government which was used for military and other government worthy things. The result of that led to higher taxation on citizens which made the people of Rome upset and ended up having less money to buy necessities and other things to keep the economy rolling. Another important reason was the abundance of slaves in Rome. The large quantity of slaves help lead to the growth of latifundia which is large land estates, consisting mostly of slaves for farming. This ruined the farmers of Rome which in result, they drifted to cities that helped add more unemployment to the cities.
This is very important because food is one of the most important and basic things people want, and lots of revolutions broke out because of famine. Moreover, the war had separated families, since many men were conscripted, and families often lived in fear, knowing that husbands or fathers might be dead. Moreover, in autumn, 50 percent of the enterprises closed down in important industrial centers, leading to mass unemployment, while the wost of living increased severely. Real wages of the workers were about half of what they had been in 1913, and Russia's national debt was 50 billion rubles. Russia thus faced bankruptcy.
Chiquita Banana had no way of predicting in the long run that the European Union would favour Africa and place restrictions on their product. (refer to Appendix A) Another problem with Chiquita’s decisions was that they did not take into account natural disasters. The company grew most of their products in the Latin Americas and because they were so reliant on that area when their products were destroyed after a major hurricane, they were not prepared. Their product was wiped out and with no other locations to grow their product, their company suffered great losses. (refer to Appendix A) The last problem that resulted in Chiquita’s financial problems was that they decided to expand globally too fast and as a result, were pushed further into debt.
Due to South Africa’s apartheid policies selectors had, in the past passed over Maori players for some All Black tours to South Africa. This unfair selection, in 1960, prior to the All Blacks touring South Africa, caused over 150 000 New Zealanders to sign a petition supporting a policy of “No Maoris, No tour”. However, the tour had gone ahead, and in 1969 a group called HART (Halt All Racist Tours), lead by John Minto, was formed. Because of the Springboks players being selected on race, the Labour government in 1973 prevented the Springboks from touring New Zealand. This caused the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) to protest against the involvement of politics in sport.
