    The 1994 genocide of Tutsis by Hutus occurred in what country?

    • Uganda

    • Rwanda

    • Sudan

    • Congo

    Correct Answer
    A. Rwanda
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Rwanda. The 1994 genocide of Tutsis by Hutus took place in Rwanda. During this period, an estimated 800,000 Tutsis were systematically killed by Hutu extremists.

The international community faced criticism for its lack of intervention and failure to prevent the mass killings.

    Which countries exist today as a consequence of the 1947 Partition?

    • India, Bangladesh and Pakistan

    • India, Nepal and Sri-Lanka

    • Pakistan and Afghanistan

    • Nepal, Bhutan and India

    Correct Answer
    A. India, Bangladesh and Pakistan
    Explanation
    India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan exist today as a consequence of the 1947 Partition. The Partition of India in 1947 resulted in the division of British India into two separate countries, India and Pakistan. Pakistan was further divided into two parts, East Pakistan (which later became Bangladesh) and West Pakistan. The partition was based on religious lines, with India becoming a predominantly Hindu country, while Pakistan was created as a Muslim-majority nation. This significant event in history led to the formation of these three countries as we know them today.

    The United States declared war on Germany in 1917 mostly because:

    • The ocean liner Lusitania with 128 Americans abroad was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine.

    • America was allied with Great Britain and France.

    • American trade with Great Britain and France was interrupted by German warfare.

    • Germany threatened American territory.

    Correct Answer
    A. American trade with Great Britain and France was interrupted by German warfare.
    Explanation
    During World War I, the United States declared war on Germany in 1917 primarily because German warfare was interrupting American trade with Great Britain and France. This disruption was a significant factor that pushed the U.S. to join the war effort. The sinking of the Lusitania, which resulted in the loss of American lives, was one of the events that increased tension between the two countries, but it was not the main reason for America's entry into the war. The alliance with Great Britain and France also played a role, but the major catalyst was the impact on American trade.
