6 0

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?

What are the methods that were and are used to gather information about Ancient Civilization
guajiro [1.7K]

The main methods used to gather information about the ancient civilizations are the archaeology, written documents, and the orally passed traditions.

Explanation:

The ancient civilizations existed long time ago, and the modern day societies are separated from them by quite a large gap of time. There are several ways through which we are able to gather information about these civilizations. The main methods are the archaeology, the written documents, as well as the orally passed traditions.

  • Through the archaeology, we manage to get the physical evidence.
  • Through the written documents we get direct information apart certain aspects of the societies.
  • The orally passed traditions are too very important, as there are numerous groups of people that have managed to preserve their traditions for thousands of years, so they provide an insight in the lives of their ancestors.

These methods are not the most accurate, and often there can be lot of mistakes and wrong assumptions, but with thorough research, objective one, and from numerous sides, an approximate picture is created of the past and the ancient civilizations that existed.

I would say that "half" is the best option: UK and Spain were never conquered for example, but France, Denmark and Norway were, and so were the Benelux and Austria.
