mr_godi [17]4 years ago
4 0

When Ivan became a complete autocrat he tortured and executed nobles and clergy alike without trial if he thought they were against him. He created an elite military force who wore all black, rode black horses and used the symbols of a broom and a dog's head to show that they were there to sweep out all the dogs, meaning everyone who they considered disloyal to Ivan. 

This militia, called the oprichniki, tortured and executed thousands in Ivan's name and at his direction. The worst of this group's actions was the massacre of tens of thousands of Russians in Novgorod in 1569 because Ivan thought they were plotting with Poland against him. 

Ivan later began executing members of that militia as well. 

In one incident while in a rage killed his own son.

Olegator [25]

Question: Which of the following best describes the United States' role in World War II?  

<u>Options:</u>

<em>A. The United States played a key role in the military defeat of Nazi Germany.  </em>

<em>B. The United States' late entry into the war meant that very few American lives were lost.  </em>

<em>C. The United States declared war on Nazi Germany but refused to ally with the Soviet Union.  </em>

D. The United States was a neutral power that did not support either side.


Answer: The correct answer is option: A. The United States played a key role in the military defeat of Nazi Germany.


Explanation: Roosevelt, was the U.S. Commander-in-Chief, this means that he commanded nearly 90% of America's military resources towards the defeat of Hitler. The might of the world's largest industrial nation was turned against Nazi Germany due to Hitler declaring war on America. This was his biggest political mistake of the war because he had reduced the odds of Nazi Germany's survival. As a result, now he had to contend with three principal opponents: America, Britain and Russia. These 3 combined, created a great manpower and their total war production capacity dwarfed Nazi Germany.
