What is the difference between an era and a period

History
1 answer:
Pachacha [2.7K]3 years ago
3 0
A period is defined as a large interval of time which has a specific characteristic and is important in history and the life of of man, it can be prehistoric like the Stone Age, copper age, Bronze Age, etc. In most of Asia, an era marks the period of each emperor or king’s reign.
In English usage it means the starting point of an age or historical period. Eras can be long such as those concerned with history, or they can be short such as those used to refer to artistic or musical styles like the Disco era or the Classical, Baroque, and Romantic eras. It’s a very confusing topic.

Easier to understand:
A period is a large interval of time with a definite characteristic while an era is a long period of time marking the start and end of an important event.
The word “period” comes from the Greek word “periodos” which means “cycle of time” while “era” comes from the Latin word “aera” which means “counters for calculation.”
While both words are sometimes used interchangeably, a period is shorter than an era although in recent times short blocks of time have also been called eras.
An era refers to a specific time period while a period may be used to refer to events that do not have any specific era or exact dates

Why did the British and Americans decide to focu<br> defeating Germany during World War II?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Europe first, also known as Germany first, was the key element of the grand strategy agreed upon by the United States and the United Kingdom during World War II.

Explanation:

. According to this policy, the United States and the United Kingdom would use the preponderance of their resources to subdue Nazi Germany in Europe first. Simultaneously, they would fight a holding action against Japan in the Pacific, using fewer resources. After the defeat of Germany—considered the greatest threat to the UK and the Soviet Union[1]—all Allied forces could be concentrated against Japan.

At the December 1941 Arcadia Conference between President Franklin Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill in Washington, shortly after the United States entered the War, the decision for the "Europe First" strategy was affirmed. However, U.S. statistics show that the United States devoted more resources in the early part of the war to stopping the advance of Japan, and not until 1944 was a clear preponderance of U.S. resources allocated toward the defeat of Germany.
