Answer: D. it planned to rapidly conquer France, then send its troops East toward Russia
Explanation:
When the first World War broke out in 1914, the Germans were faced with war on two front, France and Russia. To counter this, they sent most of their army into France with the expectation that they would rapidly conquer it.
With their troops now free, they would attack the Russians who they figured would take too long to mobilize their forces so would not attack Germany while Germany attacked France.
Constantine reigned during the 4th century CE and is known for attempting to Christianize the Roman Empire. He made the persecution of Christians illegal by signing the Edict of Milan in 313 and helped spread the religion by bankrolling church-building projects, commissioning new copies of the Bible, and summoning councils of theologians to hammer out the religion's doctrinal kinks. Constantine was also responsible for a series of important secular reforms that ranged from reorganizing the Roman Empire's currency system to restructuring Rome's armed forces. His crowning achievement was his dedication of Constantinople as his new imperial capital in 330.

Both the Chinese and the Japanese felt that the Europeans were barbarians. They were particularly repelled by the smell of these foreigners who ate much fattier diets and who did not typically wash very often. They also felt the Europeans lacked subtlety and were rather crass in their behaviors.
The similarities, however, largely end there. The Chinese tried to simply ignore the Europeans. They were able to do this to some degree because the Europeans did not have anything they wanted. They were willing to take European silver in exchange for tea and otherwise leave the Europeans alone. This worked until around the time of the Opium Wars when the Europeans forced China to open itself more.
