Answer:
The Germans believed that Great Britain would decide to stay out of the war.
Explanation:
Schlieffen in his plans had made plans to take France by surprise and that a big and successful attack against France was going to be enough to stop Britain from being involved in the war. And This would give the Germans time (Schlieffen had built his plans around six weeks) to move soldiers who had been fighting the French to Russia to take on the Russians.
The attack on France was to be done through Belgium and Luxemburg. Britain in 1839 had guaranteed Belgium her neutrality. Schlieffen's strategy for success was dependent on Britain not supporting Belgium.
He was trying to reach out and get the U.S to end Slavery.
Answer:
Edward the Confessor died on 5 January 1066. He had no children. Three men wanted to be king of England. Each man thought he had the best claim to the throne. The next king of England would have to win it in a war. Who do you think had the best claim to the throne?
Explanation:
Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex
Harold was a powerful and rich English nobleman. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Edward named Godwinson as his successor on his deathbed. The next day, the royal council, known as the Witan, met and declared Godwinson king. An English king was proclaimed by the Witan - this gave Harold Godwinson the only claim to the throne by right.
William, Duke of Normandy
The Norman chroniclers reported that Edward had promised his distant relative, William, the throne in 1051. William was the only blood relative of Edward, but the English throne was not hereditary anyway. Claims that Edward promised the throne were probably made up by the rival sides after the event. The Bayeux Tapestry, which was made after the Conquest, shows Godwinson swearing an oath of support to William in a visit to Normandy in 1064. William was supported by the Pope.
Harald Hardrada, King of Norway, Viking warrior
Hardrada based his claim on the fact that his ancestor, King Cnut, had once ruled England (1016‒1035). He was helped by Godwinson's half-brother, Tostig.
