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.

Anarel [89]

Answer: Many historians argue that the battle of Stalingrad turned the tide of World War II against Germany.

Explanation:

After the battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 – 2 February 1943), Germany publicly admitted defeat for the first time in war. After five months of fight, the Soviet Union finally defeated the Nazi Germany. Four months after the battle, American and Allied troops headed towards Normandy, and thus the liberation of Western Europe began on D-day ( 6 June 1944). The battle of Stalingrad remains the largest confrontation in World War II, with over 1 million Soviet and 800,000 German casualties.
