2. Human-Environment Interaction Was D-Day a simple or complex operation? How can you tell?

History
1 answer:
jekas [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

It was probably the most complex operation carried out in WWII. Operation Overlord (as it was called) had many features, some of which are listed below.

  1. It involved many nations (Britain, The United States, Canada to name 3 of the major participants on the allied side.
  2. It involved coordinating many types of armed forces. The infantry, the navy, the air force, paratroopers, spies and even civilians of one kind or another were involved.
  3. It had a "hoax" component. That is what it was actually called. The Germans had to be persuaded that one beach was equally likely as another to be attacked. Also the deployment of men had to be very carefully disguised. There is one story that came out after the war, that tents had to be set up (with no one using them) to persuade the Germans that men would be deployed from this position (when in fact that was never the intent).
  4. The date of the attack was a closely guarded military secret. Any time you go to that much care to guard a time and date, you know that the operation was quite complex.
  5. Quite a few generals were involved. That alone would lead to its complexity.

These are just a few comments. D Day is an extremely interesting study, well worth your time.

What practical value did astronomy offer to ancient civilizations?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The Branch of science that deals with the celestial bodies and the Universe is called Astronomy. People of almost all ancient civilisations studied astronomy.

One of the most important reason astronomy was important is that it helped them to keep track of seasons which allowed them plant and harvest crops at the correct time. It led to the development of advanced forms of agriculture.

Astronomy also allowed them to develop time keeping methods and calendars. It was also helpful in religion and politics as the ancient priests were aware of the time when the various celestial events would occur, so they could yield power by holding festivities tied to the astronomical phenomenon.

The priestly class were the only one who could predict such phenomena, astronomy was one one of the major reasons that helped them to become a powerful elite.

A. The United States found itself competing with the Soviet Union in the Cold War after 1946.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought together as allies against the Axis powers. However, the relationship between the two nations was a tense one. Americans had long been wary of Soviet communism and concerned about Russian leader Joseph Stalin’s tyrannical rule of his own country. For their part, the Soviets resented the Americans’ decades-long refusal to treat the USSR as a legitimate part of the international community as well as their delayed entry into World War II, which resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of Russians. After the war ended, these grievances ripened into an overwhelming sense of mutual distrust and enmity. Postwar Soviet expansionism in Eastern Europe fueled many Americans’ fears of a Russian plan to control the world. Meanwhile, the USSR came to resent what they perceived as American officials’ bellicose rhetoric, arms buildup and interventionist approach to international relations. In such a hostile atmosphere, no single party was entirely to blame for the Cold War; in fact, some historians believe it was inevitable.
