History
1 answer:
Alina [70]1 year ago
5 0

Answer: Malaria inflicts great casualties and affects entire army's indiscriminately. Soldiers were exposed and vulnerable.

Explanation:

It is believed that Alexander the Great was killed by malaria at the height of his power

Malaria in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Liberia (2001–2003): Many US soldiers in Iraq walked while eating just to avoid being bitten and infected by mosquitoes.

Vietnam War (1962–1975): Malaria felled more combatants during the war than bullets. The disease reduced the combat strength of some units by half. Over 40,000 cases of Malaria were reported in US Army troops alone between 1965 and 70 with 78 deaths. The U.S. Army established a malaria drug research program when U.S. troops first encountered drug resistant malaria during the war

During the American civil war in 1861-1865, malaria accounted for 1,316,000 episodes of illness and 10,000 deaths. It has been estimated that 50% of the white soldiers and 80% of the black soldiers got malaria annually.

Soviet society had stopped growing as a result of totalitarian policies banning political dissent
LiRa [457]
The statement is true. The ban of totalitarian policies on political dissent was one of the major problems with the Soviet Union, along with the inefficient central planning system, due to which the expenditures on the army increased way too much and competition of the arms, with the US became very costly. During the time, the Jewish people were not allowed to leave and inhabit their homeland, Israel.
