Answer:

Distance and harsh winters disrupted German supply lines.

Explanation:

October 1941 was the worst month because it was cold as it had not been for years, the Germans were out of winter clothing because the Fürher refused to send in his winter clothes, trusting that his army would conquer Moscow in time. Whatever the winter (and distance) did damage in the German army and even though some advanced units came to enter the suburbs of the city the invasion stopped.

Rigorous winter was fundamental for the Soviet resistance, since thus Stalin removed the Siberian troops and sent them to the front in Moscow. New troops, trained and equipped for the winter war against ill-equipped Germans who were dying of cold. A counter-offensive was launched that cost a lot of lives and material for both sides, yet the Germans had to withdraw more than 100 kilometers from Moscow.

Which detail from this first-hand account of the Tet Offensive demonstrates that it was a surprise attack?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Tet was launched in January 30th 1968, Tet being the Chinese New Year.

The attack was a complete surprise. The guard of the South Vietnamese army was lowered by Tet celebrations. Moreover the Vietcong and NVA switched their offensive from the countryside to the cities, which again took the South Vietnamese and Americans by surprise.

The fact that the Vietcong could get right inside the American embassy in Saigon emphasized the surprise nature of the attack.

Tet was actually a military defeat for the communists as they sustained massive losses. However psychologically it was a massive victory for them. Widespread coverage of the raging battles in cities such as Saigon and Hue on American televisions every night, swayed public opinion against the war, as the images suggested the Vietcong could go anywhere, and so it suggested the US was losing the war.

Look at the map below. Which regions on the map were home to countries
noname [10]

Answer: D. Regions C and D

Explanation:

Most African countries and India followed a non-alignment stance when it came to the world's superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union so that they do not fall too much under the influence of anyone of them.

They would engage in business and bilateral transactions with either of the Superpowers and support one over the other when it suited them. This was unlike regions like Europe that were strongly divided in their support for either of the superpowers.

What action did the Radical Republicans take during Reconstruction?
lbvjy [14]

The Radical Republicans were a faction of American politicians within the Republican Party of the United States from around 1854 (before the American Civil War) until the end of Reconstruction in 1877. They called themselves "Radicals" and were opposed during the War by the Moderate Republicans (led by President Abraham Lincoln), by the conservative Republicans, and the largely pro-slavery and later anti-Reconstruction Democratic Party, as well as by conservatives in the South and liberals in the North during Reconstruction.[1] Radicals strongly opposed slavery during the war and after the war distrusted ex-Confederates, demanding harsh policies for punishing the former rebels, and emphasizing equality, civil rights, and voting rights for the "freedmen" (recently freed slaves).[2]

During the war, Radical Republicans often opposed Lincoln in terms of selection of generals (especially his choice of DemocratGeorge B. McClellan for top command of the major eastern Army of the Potomac) and his efforts to bring seceded Southern states back into the Union as quickly and easily as possible. The Radicals passed their own reconstruction plan through the Congress in 1864, but Lincoln vetoed it and was putting his own presidential policies in effect by virtue as military commander-in-chief when he was assassinated in April 1865.[3] Radicals pushed for the uncompensated abolition of slavery, while Lincoln wanted to pay slave owners who were loyal to the Union. After the war, the Radicals demanded civil rights for freedmen, such as measures ensuring suffrage. They initiated the various Reconstruction Acts, and limited political and voting rights for ex-Confederate civil officials, military officers and soldiers. They bitterly fought President Andrew Johnson; they weakened his powers and attempted to remove him from office through impeachment, which failed by one vote in 1868.
