23. The Montreal Protocol limited (Presidency University Masters Entrance Questions 2017)
The Montreal Protocol is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS). Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are one of the main types of ODS. These chemicals were commonly used in refrigeration, air conditioning, foam blowing, and aerosol propellants.
The protocol, which was agreed upon in 1987 and has been ratified by nearly every country in the world, sets specific timelines for the phase-out of various ODS. It has been highly successful in achieving its goals, leading to a significant reduction in the production and consumption of ODS and helping to protect the ozone layer from further depletion.
In summary, the Montreal Protocol does not limit nuclear weapons, nuclear power plants, or weapons of mass destruction. Instead, it specifically targets the emission of ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons.

25. The first World War led to the dissolution of which of the following empires? (Presidency University Masters Entrance Questions 2017)
The First World War led to the dissolution of the Russian, German, Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman empires. The Russian Empire collapsed in 1917, and the Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and German empires collapsed in 1918. The war ended with a treaty that ceded Germany's overseas colonies to the victors. The dissolution of these empires created many new countries in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, such as Austria-Hungary, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire. These new countries often had large ethnic minorities, which caused many conflicts and hostilities. _________________ The Habsburg monarchy formally ended on November 11, 1918, when Charles I issued a proclamation acknowledging the decision of German Austria to give up political authority. The monarchy began to fracture in the final years of World War I, and the Habsburgs were dethroned and sent into exile at the end of the war. The monarchy collapsed after the Czechs, Yugoslavs, and Hungarians defeated it.
