This is how Churchill expressed inability to predict what Soviet Union will at the start of World War 2. The timeline below show why he could be puzzled:

a) August 23,  1939 - Soviet Union and Germany sign non-aggression pact

b) September 1, 1939 - Germany invades Poland (then ally of Britain and France).

c) September 3, 1939 - Britain declares war on Germany as a consequence of German's invasion of Poland.

d) September 17, 1939 - Soviet Union invades eastern Poland. Poland is defeated and partitioned between Germany and Soviet Union.

Therefore from Churchill standpoint: Soviet Union is allied with Germany, whom are at war with Britain. Go figure what Stalin is going to do?

The statement that would best describe the enconmienda system set up by the Spanish would be that a  system that allowed officials to take care of Indians in exchange for labor, but often became enslavement. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Who was Senator Joseph McCarthy, and what was his role in the second Red Scare?
sladkih [1.3K]
<span>Joseph Raymond McCarthy was an American politician who served as U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. </span><span>Senator Joseph McCarthy fed the increasing panic, using unfounded rumors and intimidation to gain notoriety as a potent government figure; with this newfound fame and influence, McCarthy denounced numerous public figures as being communist supporters. His victims included government officials, celebrities, intellectuals—anyone opposed to his view point. Most people black listed by McCarthy were innocent, but many lost their reputation, and often their employment, regardless. McCarthy dominated the anti-communist sentiment until the Army-McCarthy hearings of 1954 all but ruined his credibility. McCarthy was censured that year and died, his own reputation in shambles, three years later. To this day, the term “McCarthyism” remains synonymous with the Second Red Scare, metaphorical witch hunts, and the persecution of the innocent.</span>
