In 1929, Stalin arrested over 5,000 educated Ukrainian people and they were either shot without trail or sent to prison camps in remote areas in Russia.

More than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty — less than $1.25 a day. 1 billion children worldwide are living in poverty.

Frankie Wegner Period 1 November 11, 2010 Black Death Plague In response to the Black Death Plague, the government did the best and effective job at trying to stop it from spreading. The government had the most responses that were helpful. Immediate burial of the bodies helped, because burying them helped trap the fleas that were on the bodies so they couldn’t jump onto living people that weren’t infected.
