Answer:

B)The western front became a stalemate.

Explanation:

The Western Front of World War I was opened in 1914 after the German Empire's army invaded Belgium and Luxembourg, so it gained military control of important industrial areas of France. The advance of the Empire underwent a dramatic turn after the first battle of the Marne, where the alliance between France and the United Kingdom defeated. Both sides -Aliados and Central Powers- settled in a sinuous line of fortified trenches, which extended from the North Sea to the Swiss border with France. That line remained static for most of the war.

Between 1915 and 1917, major offensives occurred along the front. In the attacks, huge bombardments with artillery and large infantry demonstrations were carried out. The combination of trenches, machine guns, barbed wire and artillery inflicted many casualties on the aggressive and defensive forces. As a result, no significant progress was made. Among the most costly of these offensives were the Battle of Verdun, the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Passchendaele - with nearly 700,000, 1,000,000 and 600,000 dead respectively. In an effort to dissolve the stalemate, this front allowed the introduction of new war technologies, such as poisonous gas, combat aircraft and tanks. But only after the adoption of improved military tactics did some degree of mobility recover.

Despite the stagnation of this front, this scenario turned out to be of decisive importance. The inexorable advance of the allied armies in 1918 convinced the German commanders that defeat was inevitable, and the government was forced to negotiate the conditions of an armistice.

Christianity was heavily spread throughout the entire world, including Asian countries and Africa. South America too

As a result of this, all of the answers can be applicable to different nations and or different relative locations, however, the second answers seems the best!

This is that Jesus taught that Christians should travel the world and force other people to convert to christianity.

Other answers seem correct too, but this is the highest probability that it’ll be correct!

What happened to the prisoners in the american revolutionary war. Help Please
kirill115 [55]

ew prisons existed in the colonies before the American Revolution, so the term "prisoner" belies the true status of soldiers captured as prisoners of war during the Revolution. As major battles yielded significant numbers of captives, decisions had to be made quickly regarding where prisoners would be interred and how they would be supported.

The Continental Congress ultimately accepted responsibility for the administration of prisoners of war, but gave broad authority on the matter to the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, General George Washington.

Washington took an active role in the prisoner situation and was a constant advocate for the fair treatment of prisoners. He was especially concerned with the British tendency to indiscriminately imprison soldiers as well as civilians, whom he regarded as outside the bounds of military law. Washington insisted that non-combatants be put through a civilian court system, and made sure that no states holding military prisoners should trade a British soldier for an American citizen. Washington believed that this would have legitimized the British capture of more citizens, most of whom were largely defenseless.

The treatment of prisoners was an important concern for both sides during the American Revolution, but particularly relevant to the colonials. As "rebels," the Americans were accused of treason and feared especially harsh reprisals. Washington's wartime correspondence with British generals included discussion of a number of suffering prisoners. Some of the most notorious prisons during the Revolutionary War were the prison ships in New York harbor, known as hulks. A number of reports surfaced regarding both the poor treatment of colonial inmates and the terrible conditions they endured.

In January 1777, Washington wrote an appeal to Lord Admiral Richard Howe who controlled British forced in New York. Washington implored Howe to launch an investigation into the conditions for prisoners on the hulks. If conditions for these prisoners did not improve, Washington warned, retaliation against British prisoners of war was an option. By July 1779, the Continental Congress ordered that British naval prisoners were to be imprisoned on ships in the same manner as the Americans in New York. No compromise on the fair treatment of prisoners was ever reached.

With few facilities to accommodate large numbers of prisoners, both the Americans and the British participated in prisoner exchange. Though Washington was actively involved in these matters, he appointed commissaries to handle the day-to-day details. The exchange of prisoners during the American Revolution was a chaotic ordeal, mainly because there was never a consistent policy put in place by the Continental Congress. Subsequently, a cartel (a formal agreement on prisoner exchange) was never put in place between the British and the Americans.

Parole was another tool that both sides used as a means to alleviate the burden of imprisonment. The combination of prisoner exchange and parole ensured that few new prisons had to be built during the war. The maintenance of prisoners was a significant financial burden for Congress and by the defeat of the British at Yorktown in 1781, Washington himself was compelled to personally subsidize the cost of prisoner upkeep.
