Why did Germany declare war on Russia

History
1 answer:
Elena-2011 [213]4 years ago
4 0

Your question is in reference to the beginnings of World War I.  The answer is:

<h2>Germany felt threatened because Russia mobilized its forces on Germany's eastern borders.</h2>

Explanation/context:

The systems of alliances and military plans which were put in place before World War I presupposed a major war between the countries which were tied together with alliances.  The Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies.  Germany was part of a group of allies in opposition to the Triple Entente.  

So here's what happened to start the Great War (World War I).  When an Austrian prince and his wife were assassinated in Serbia, the Austrian Empire threatened the nation of Serbia with retaliatory action (even though the assassination was carried out by a terrorist group, not the Serbian government). Russia responded to Austria's threat, because Russia was bound to protect its Slavic ally, Serbia. Germany responded to the mobilization of Russian troops, and when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, they implemented the Schlieffen Plan (drawn up by one of their generals), which called for them to go on attack vs. France.  That pulled France and Britain into the war immediately as well, and the war spread and became a global conflict.

Why did the Stamp Act Congress meet in 1765?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. The Stamp Act Congress met in 1765 to discuss how to respond to the new taxes.

Explanation:

The Stamp Act Congress was a meeting held on October 19, 1765, in New York City, to discuss the newly created Stamp Act, whose passing in the British Parliament did not include representatives of the American colonies.

At the instigation of James Otis, Massachusetts demanded the holding of an intercolonial general assembly. Nine out of 13 colonies sent 27 representatives to the Stamp Act Congress held at the Federal Hall in New York from 7 to 25 October 1765. The delegates adopted John Dickinson's Declaration of Rights and Grievances and sent letters and petitions to the King and the Parliament. The emphasis was on the repeal of the Stamp Act, but also on the fact that settlers were not allowed to participate in the election of deputies in London. Only colonial assemblies had the right to levy new taxes in America. They also criticized the use of Admiralty Courts to enforce the Stamp Act and punish offenders. In reality, the boycotts had more effect than the petitions, and the law was finally repealed on March 18, 1766. But the question of the political representation of the Americans was not settled. And Parliament's determination to charge taxes to the settlers remained intact, announcing the American Revolution.

What did Eisenhower do with New Deal programs?
Zigmanuir [339]

Eisenhower developed an unstated but evident "no dismantling, no great expansion." approach to the New Deal programs during his Presidency.  He did not not set out to destruct what the other party had done for 20 years.   At the same time he didn't want anything experimental or heavy handed.

This quote sums it up:

“Should any political party attempt to abolish social security unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group of course that believes you can do these things. Among them are a few other Texas oil millionaires and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.
