Answer:

The Suez Canal was built with the intention of creating a short maritime route between Europe and Asia.

Explanation:

The Suez Canal is a navigable canal located in Egypt that joins the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea. The canal turned the Sinai region into a new peninsula, constituting the border between the continents of Africa and Asia. Its length is 163 km between Port Said (on the Mediterranean shore) and Suez (on the coast of the Red Sea). It allows shortening the route of maritime trade between Europe and South Asia, as it avoids having to surround the African continent.

What was the significance of the Battle of Stalingrad? (5 points)

viktelen [127]

Answer:

The battle of Stalingrad prevented Germany from successfully gaining control of Moscow.

Explanation:

Germany's failure to capture Stalingrad ultimately led to Germany's failure to capture Moscow and defeat the Soviet Union. Capturing Stalingrad would've given Germany access to the USSR's oil supply, giving the Germans the upper hand against fighting the Russians. They weren't able to successfully capture and had to back off from the offensive.
