Throughout the Declaration of Independence, the authors repeat the word usurpation, which means “to seize something without righ

t.” Based on the context of the document, analyze the meaning of the word and its possible connotations, or additional non-dictionary meanings that this word might imply. Why do you think the authors of the Declaration chose to repeat this specific word in the text?

They chose that word because it implies that the colonies never actually belonged to the king but rather to the people. The king is a usurper, meaning that his claim over the colonies is without any right. By repeating it often it sort of becomes ingrained in the reader and the reader adopts this when analyzing and talking about the declaration and the war of independence.

In the Declaration of the Independence, the word usurpation is used to imply “the unlawful suppression or denial of citizens' rights.” It might have also been used to imply oppression, exploitation, injustice, confiscation, torment, persecution, coercion, intimidation, etc. The authors of the Declaration chose to repeat the word to emphasize the point that the impositions of the King on the colonists were both abusive and unlawful.

What was an effect of World War I? Europe struggled to recover from a "Lost Generation." The German economy recovered quickly. T
Elan Coil [88]
The correct answer is "Europe struggled to recover from a lost generation."

After World War I, the Germany economy was in ruins. This is because they were held responsible for the beginning of the war and were forced to pay reparations (as decided in the Treaty of Versailles).

On the other end of the world, the US had a booming economy right after World War I. The 1920's in the US was an era of economic prosperity in which individuals had more disposable income to buy goods/materials.

France and Great Britain still remain allies after this war, as they both have a common goal of recovering from the war and ensuring Germany does not gain significant political power.

This leaves the first statement. The "Lost Generation" is a phrase used to display how a significant amount of the population was lost during the war due to the high number of deaths in World War I.

How did the great war alter time-honored military codes of conduct and dash hopes for a quick end to the war? what role did new
g100num [7]
World War I completely changed the way wars were fought.

Trench warfare, which was the norm just a century ago was seen as an nonviable strategy.

Modern machines such as tanks and airplanes made trench warfare mostly about keeping ground and resulted in stalemates.

Also, it was the first time that modern tanks, planes and machine guns were being used for first time at such a large scale, resulting in an unprecedented level of death and carnage.

Military generals soon realized that time-honored military code of conducts were now obsolete and a completely new form of strategy was now required.
