What was the purpose of D-Day?

1 answer:

3 0

The question is kind of tricky. D-Day was the code word for the Allied invasion of France, so D is definitely a possible answer. But the PURPOSE of that invasion was in part to defend Britain, which at the time was being threatened by Nazi air attacks and by a possible Nazi invasion. So A is possible as well.

The overthrow of Mussolini was certainly a factor in the Allied strategy, but the invasion of Italy, not France, was how that task was accomplished. So C is out.

There's competing evidence over how much the Allies knew about Auschwitz by the time of D-Day. Either way, the immediate purpose of D-Day was not to free the Jews from Auschwitz, though that was an ultimate result of D-Day. So B is out.

Since the question is asking the PURPOSE of D-Day, I think A is the best answer. D is more of a description of what D-Day WAS rather than an explanation of its PURPOSE.

Which statement most accurately describes the modern role of the U.S. Military as a tool of foreign policy? A. The U.S. Military

erica [24]

Answer:

B. Military force is an easy way to replace an unfriendly foreign leader

Explanation:

The US has been using its military way to often as a tool of its foreign policies in the past century. While it was understandable during the Cold War, after it ended it is simply absurd. It seems that whenever the US has problems with some leader of another country where it has some interest, it employs its military, attacks the country, and takes down the unwanted leader. While some may argue that the US military has acted as peacekeeper, society builder, bringing democracy, in practice it has been the total opposite, and we have Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria to witness for it, being left in ruins, total chaos, and becoming fertile grounds for terrorist basis.

To what is FDR referring to when he says that the democracies, by fighting aggression, “are keeping war away from our hemisphere

Roman55 [17]

This quote comes from the now famous Four Freedoms speech, delivered by Roosevelt as the State of the Union address on January 6, 1941. The international context was very negative. Hitler and his Axis allies were winning in Europe. Britain was greatly menaced and the Japanese were gearing up for all-out war in the Pacific and in Asia.

Roosevelt, aware that scientific progress had eliminated the physical advantage of the USA being separated from Europe and Asia by such vast expanses of water had been arming and funding the British for years and had also increased military spending and the Navy in order to keep Japan at bay.

He knew that once Hitler had conquered Europe and Japan had conquered the East, all the populations and resources of these vast reasons would be used to directly attack the USA, which would eventually find itself in numeric inferiority so in order to prevent such a dark future he chose to send weapons, supplies and money to the British.
