Hello MC,
I can help you with these historical questions. Let's break them down one by one:
28. The person who led a group of women who wrote a declaration of rights for women that was rejected by the National Assembly is Olympe de Gouges. She was a French playwright and political activist during the French Revolution. Her declaration, known as the "Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen," was inspired by the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Unfortunately, her efforts were not well-received at the time.
34. The ruler whose military conquests extended Persia's boundaries is Cyrus the Great. He founded the Achaemenid Empire and is known for his role as an exceptional military leader. Under his reign, the Persian Empire expanded significantly, conquering lands from parts of modern-day Turkey to Egypt, Mesopotamia, and beyond.
39. You are correct! The person who opened Russia to Western ideas is Peter the Great. He was the Tsar of Russia during the late 17th century and early 18th century. Peter embarked on a series of reforms that aimed to modernize Russia and bring it closer to Western standards. He introduced Western technology, modernized the military, and implemented social and cultural changes, including the adoption of Western clothing and customs.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
