Mediterranean and Middle East Theatre

The North African campaign of the Second World War took place in North Africa from 10 June 1940 to 13 May 1943. It included campaigns fought in the Libyan and Egyptian deserts (Western Desert Campaign, also known as the Desert War) and in Morocco and Algeria (Operation Torch), as well as Tunisia (Tunisia Campaign).

The campaign was fought between the Allies, many of whom had colonial interests in Africa dating from the late 19th century, and the Axis Powers.[12][13] The Allied war effort was dominated by the British Commonwealth and exiles from German-occupied Europe. The United States officially entered the war in December 1941 and began direct military assistance in North Africa on 11 May 1942.

The aztec empire was destroyed because

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Explanation:

Here's a (very) brief summary of the fall of the Aztec empire, after the arrival of Hernando Cortes until the fall of Tenochtitlán (read a biography of Hernan Cortez here):

1519 (March 4): The Spaniards land in what is now Veracruz. The natives greet him with gifts. A contingent from Tenochtitlán also arrives with gifts. Cortes showed force and demonstrated his canons, terrifying the messengers.

Cortes sinks all the ships except one small vessel, and moves to the city-state of Tlaxcala. Generally speaking they begin on friendly terms.

The Spanish went on to Cholula. It's unclear what happened, but in the end many people in the city were killed by the Spanish. Read more about Cholula here.

1519 (Nov 8): Cortes and army arrives at Tenochtitlán, and begin on good terms. However, Cortes takes charge and demands tribute and some Roman Catholic shrines to replace the Aztec gods.

Cortes returns to the coast to defeat a rival Spanish army. The remaining soldiers join him.

The Aztecs revolt, driving the Spanish from the city. Cuitláhuac becomes emperor.

The Spanish go to Tlaxcala and make an alliance with them.

Most Aztec cities are conquered, and a siege of Tenochtitlán begins.

1521 (13 August): The last Aztec emperor, Cuauhtémoc, surrenders to Cortes.

In your own words, how would you describe life in America during the 1920’s?

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The roaring twenties. Also known as the Jazz Age, the decade of the 1920s featured economic prosperity and carefree living for many. The decade began with a roar and ended with a crash. Prosperity was on the rise in cities and towns, and social change flavored the air.

The 1920s was a decade of profound social changes. The most obvious signs of change were the rise of an interested economy and of mass entertainment, which helped to bring about a "revolution in morals and manners." Gender roles, hair styles, and dress all changed profoundly during the

35. What was the result of Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854?

VMariaS [17]

The Kansas-Nebraska act allowed the people to vote if wanted to allow slavery in those states and this act served to appeal the Missouri Compromise. The Missouri Compromise prohibited slavery in the north. This act was also said to be a failure because it was made to end the conflict over slavery, but resulted in Kansas becoming a "battleground over slavery."
