Why did Calais landing seem logistically sound to the Germans?

1 answer:

8 0

The Germans thought Calais was the likely landing site for an Allied invasion because the Allies made them think that's what they were planning.

The Allies employed various strategies, code named "Operation Fortitude," which were intended to deceive the Germans in advance of the planned Normandy invasion. They built up phony infrastructure for possible invasions, on at Calais just across the English Channel, another as a northern incursion via Norway. They also leaked phony intelligence reports that would find their way into German hands. So Calais seemed logistically sound not only because it was directly across the Channel from Allied positions in Britain, but because the Allies were wanting the Germans to think that was a possible plan they were making. The deception was meant to give the actual invasion at Normandy a better chance for success.

After World War II, Stalin said that the Soviet Union needed a “buffer zone” to protect it from attack. This idea resulted in th

slega [8]

Answer: EASTERN EUROPE

Context/explanation:

US president Franklin Roosevelt, British prime minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet premier Joseph Stalin, the leaders of the Allies in World War II, met at Yalta in February, 1945.

Churchill and Roosevelt pushed strongly for Stalin to allow free elections to take place in the nations of Europe after the war. At that time Stalin agreed, but there was a strong feeling by the other leaders that he might renege on that promise. The Soviets never did allow those free elections to occur. Later, Winston Churchill wrote, ""Our hopeful assumptions were soon to be falsified." Stalin and the Soviets felt they needed the Eastern European nations as satellites to protect their own interests. A line of countries in Eastern Europe came into line with the USSR and communism. Churchill later would say an "iron curtain" had fallen between Western and Eastern Europe.

Which is an example of an inherent power of the federal government?

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Here you have some examples:

-Regulating immigration

-Acquiring territory

-Ending labor strikes

-Regulation of commerce

-Declaring war

-Raise and maintain armed forces

Explanation:

Inherent Powers are not granted by the Constitution. However, the U.S. Government perceives that it is logical and reasonable to give them to the president and the Congress. These powers are usually analised by courts and are legitimate, despite not being explicitly exhibited in the Constitution as formerly said. Additionally, the inherent powers of the president are derived from the vaguely worded “Vesting Clause” in Article II. These documents state that “the executive Power shall be vested in a President.”
