   Melyik akció került a kampány középpontjába?

   In 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested after refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Civil rights organizers responded with a coordinated campaign.

   • A boycott of the city's buses.

   A résztvevők közös autózással és gyaloglással közlekedtek, így a buszbojkott több mint egy évig folytatódhatott.

   Végül hogyan reagáltak a határőrök a tömegekre?

   On November 9, 1989, an East German official mistakenly announced that new travel rules took effect immediately. Crowds gathered at checkpoints along the Berlin Wall that evening.

   • They required everyone to obtain an exit visa before crossing.
   • They redirected everyone to government travel offices.
   • They kept the crossings closed until new procedures arrived.
   • They opened the crossings and let people through.

   • They opened the crossings and let people through.

   Az első határátkelőhelyet egyértelmű felsőbb utasítás nélkül nyitották meg, mivel a helyi tisztekre egyre nagyobb nyomás nehezedett.

   Why was collecting salt an act of civil disobedience?

   In 1930, Gandhi led a march to India's coast and collected salt in defiance of British salt laws. British authorities controlled legal salt production and taxed this everyday necessity.

   • Royal authority was subject to agreed-upon legal limits.
   • The barons acquired unlimited authority to punish the king's subjects.
   • Royal courts were abolished in favor of decisions by local nobles.

   • Making national self-determination the main rule for drawing borders.
   • Restoring French control over its wartime conquests.

   Hogyan korlátozta a pénzügyi nyomás Nagy-Britannia döntését?

   During the 1956 Suez Crisis, Britain faced pressure on the pound. The United States withheld financial support while demanding an end to the military intervention, and Britain accepted a cease-fire.

   • Outside financial support became available regardless of Britain's military decisions.
   • The risk to the currency limited Britain's ability to continue the operation.
   • Continuing the intervention removed Britain's need for outside financial assistance.

   Show solution

   • The risk to the currency limited Britain's ability to continue the operation.

    • It allowed Washington to keep its missiles in Turkey while publicly promising their removal.

    The missiles in Turkey were removed several months later; the two withdrawals were not simultaneous.
