Letter D would be best correct.

<h3>The context of the North African Campaign from 1942 to 1943</h3>

General George C. Marshall was the U.S. Army's chief of staff at the time. In early 1942, the american strategic thinking was to defeat Nazi Germany before turning to the Pacific, where japanese conquests were increasing at a concerning rate. For Mashall, the top priority should be to achieve a successful lodgement on the European continent as soon as possible. The British military leaders, led by Field Marshal Alan Brooke, didn't agree so due majorly to most of the military burden of such an attempt falling onto the British forces and the lack of military power of both UK and US together to overwhelm the germany forces in european territory. Instead Brooke believed that the priority should be to 'clear' the Mediterranean to open a path for the supply ships from French north Africa and ally convoys.

This standoff lasted until U.S. President at the time, Franklin D. Roosevelt intervened and gave his generals the direct order to support the British in landings along the North African coast. This led to the incursion of the British and American forces by November of 1942, code-named Operation 'Torch', under the command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, later to be President of the U.S.

Commandant Omar Nelson Bradley, was nominated head of the II Corps for the North African campaing under General George S. Patton. In this role, he managed to capture Bizerte, in Tunisia by May 1943, which was decisive for the fall of Tunisia. Later in 1943 he was sent to Great Britain, where he commanded the U.S. First Army under the British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, where he finally took part in the planning of the Operation Overlord, popular known as the D-Day, or the Normandy Invasion.


General Douglas MacArthur was an exquisite american commandant with outstanding deeds during the WWII, and the most condecorated in the history of the U.S., but never took part in the North African campaing.

grandymaker [24]
<span>Monarchy is a form of authoritarian government in which power is handed down through family lines and rulers stay in power for life. The correct answer is B. Just take a look at contemporary England and its Queen Elizabeth II. Oligarchy refers to a small group of people who rule a country. Republic refers to the President who is elected by the people and his "reign" is not hereditary. Plutocracy is a country which is ruled by the rich people. Theocracy is a state in which the church rules, along with its priests, in the name of God.</span>

Which of the following represents a difference between Hinduism and Buddhism?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

A. The belief that social roles are determined by birth.

Explanation:

The two religious beliefs of Hinduism and Buddhism are two of the most prominent and important religions originating from India. These two religions also have similarities in their belief systems but also some differences.

While the two are similar in their belief in nonviolence, karma, dharma, and reincarnation, their difference lies in the belief of caste or social roles. Hindus believe in the caste system, where a person's social status is determined by birth. This means that a person who is poor will remain poor and his/ her children will also be poor. This belief in the determination of social roles from one's birth is not supported by Buddhism, rather, they believe that one's social roles have nothing to do with one's birth. For Buddhists, one's evil deeds are judged based on the severity of the sin, not based on one's status.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Blizzard [7]

The reason is very simple - profit.

The rabbits were not worth much to the Europeans, but were to the Aztecs, but the cocoa beans for the Europeans were like gold. They were a very attractive exotic product from which unique and unseen things were made. In the European market the cocoa beans had enormous price, and the demand for it was very high especially from the aristocracy which loved it and didn't speared money for it.
