Germany's invasion on poland started it. Hope this helps!
Answer:
Explanation:
The intention of Germany is to conquer France as fast as they could, as well as striking Russia afterwards.
Germans was forced to abandon Schlieffen plan by the compulsion from Russia, this forceful abandonment is as a result of sudden mobilization made by Russia which made the Germans to get out in troops to wage war against Russia at Eastern Front.
I don't think Germany could have won the war if it had stuck with the Schlieffen plan, reasons is that if Germany has failed to get out in troops like they did, gotten through France would have been possible, the bad news there is that Russia would have assaulted them violently unawared.
Answer: Rachel carson's 1962 Silent Spring was ground breaking work in regards to the topic of pesticide.
Explanation:
For years, city-dwellers with little contact with nature or farming communities were reassured that there was no need for worry about these chemicals. But Rachel Carson wrote a book about them in 1962 called "Silent Spring". It proved so controversial that many libraries refused to carry it and major publications would not review it. Nevertheless, enough copies sold so that is became one of the most influential environmental books ever written, selling out its first run of 50,000 copies in 3 months.
It all depends on the definition of the term Modern Era. The word modern comes from Latin word modo, which means right now or just now. It was used for the first time during the Renaissance in Italy to bring attention to the great rediscoveries of sciences, the arts, history and politics of Classical antiquity and the subsequent discoveries and progresses accomplished like the Age of Discovery.
If such definition is used as the basis for this question then the answer is definitely C.The establishment of global empires.
Indeed, since during the previous periods, Empires were limited to their immediate geographic areas. There had been some attempts to explore areas that were located much farther like the Vikings and their travels to Greenland and North America.
However, it was the Europeans: and to some lesser extent the Chinese, that actually discovered (in the literal sense of removing the cover) the Americas for the entirety of the world. The discovery paved the way for the emergence of Global Empires that were completely unprecedented in the history of humanity since they spanned several continents. For instance, the Global Spanish Empire Under Philip II of Spain in the 16th Century that spanned the continents of Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.
The statement that Pinochet was a fascist is true because he took power with the aid of the CIA and killed Allende and repressed his people with the police and military with heinous crimes like slitting their stomachs and throwing them into the ocean from helicopters and torturing them for their political views. He disappeared many men who were of progressive politics.
