Catherine and he had become lovers; no one told Catherine's husband, the Grand Duke Peter. Catherine saw Orlov as very useful, and he became instrumental in the 28 June 1762 coup d'état against her husband, but she preferred to remain the Dowager Empress of Russia, rather than marrying anyone.

Describe the complex cause and effect

iragen [17]

Answer: The answer is complex and not straightforward.

Explanation:

The article relates to Churchill and Roosevelt, so is probably dated from World War 2.

Given this and the reference to the use of force by aggressive nations it is reasonable to assume that this refers to the Axis nations and their allies, primarily Germany, Japan and Italy.

What is being referred to is reflected in the policies applied to Germany and Japan at the end of World War 2. (Italy had already switched sides and deposed Mussolini).

In the post war agreements drawn up, Germany and Japan were largely demilitarised with strict control over their armed forces. In the case of West Germany their limited armed forces existed only within the context of NATO to prevent any aggressive use as was evidenced at the beginning of World War 2.

In both instances these countries were not allowed to develop or possess nuclear weapons.

Until such time as there is a global disarmament treaty, as referred to in the article, then countries which are deemed "aggressive", the losers in a conflict, by others, the winners, have arms controls imposed.

Of course this does not and has not stopped the proliferation of weapons, and conflicts throughout the world since 1945, including the aggressive policies of countries such as the UK and the USA.

what are the three basic types of city government and what are one strength an one weakness and size of city most effective

Nataliya [291]

The three main types of city governments are council-mayor (which can come with a strong mayor or with a weak mayor), council-manager, and commission (though very few cities actually have commission forms of government). Each of these has strengths and weaknesses.The strength of the commission form of government is that it is very democratic and it allows very close attention to be paid to each aspect of city government. In this form, one commission member is elected to oversee each major aspect of government. That person can give his or her undivided attention to that aspect of government. Its weakness, though, is that there is no central authority.In the council-mayor system, the strength is that you have an elected central authority. This allows one person to be responsible to the people for the whole city government. The main problem with this system is that you can have a mayor who is elected for his or her political acumen but who is a terrible manager. Such a person can significantly harm the way the city is run.In the council-manager system, you take care of this problem. The manager is a professional who knows how to run a city. This makes this system efficient. The problem is that it is less democratic because the manager is not elected by the people.
