Question 1 • CMS 2026-2027 World History: Issues and Patterns CREDIT RECOVERY

What are the contributing factors that increase the likelihood of genocide? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
leaders who increase tensions between groups
B
a government that is divided philosophically
C
economic, political, or social instability
D
unequal distributions of power and resources
E
random acts of violence committed by citizens

Explanation

Unequal distributions of power and resources can create deep grievances between groups. Leaders who deliberately increase tensions can encourage hostility and dehumanization, while economic, political, or social instability can make violence more likely. A government being philosophically divided or random acts of violence alone are not the main contributing factors identified here.
