Question 20 • World History II

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

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

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.
