Dlaczego Hitler w 1938 r. przystąpił do ataków na sąsiednie państwa? Jakie okoliczności skłoniły go do tego?
olga nikolaevna [1]

1. Answer:

  • W ramach obrony Hitler planował zaatakować sąsiednie kraje. Mając około 1,5 miliona żołnierzy, postanowił zacząć od pierwszego ataku na Polskę. Granica około 1750 mil była kontrolowana przez armię niemiecką.

  • Zbombardowali wiele lotnisk w Polsce i uniemożliwili innemu krajowi ingerowanie w ich praktyki wojenne. Podpisali pakt z ZSRR. W którym oba kraje potajemnie postanowiły podzielić Polskę na dwie części.

  • Niemcy wygrały wojnę i zajęły Polskę. Później postanowili zaatakować Danię, Norwegię, Belgię, Francję, Grecję,

  • W wyniku tego spustoszenia Wielka Brytania i Francja połączyły ręce, aby walczyć z Niemcami i powstrzymać Hitlera.

2. Answer:

Hilter chciał etnicznie oczyścić Europę Wschodnią. Chciał, aby kraje te zostały skolonizowane przez Niemców. Nie ujawnił tego jednak otwarcie, dlatego stosując różne taktyki zainicjował wojnę z Polską. Miał agresywną politykę zagraniczną. Wkrótce po wygranej z Polską rozpoczął kampanię przeciwko Żydom i przedstawił światu straszne dni holokaustu.

<u>Kiedy League of Nation nie powstrzymała go przed pójściem dalej na wojnę, ówcześni politycy wpadli na nowy pomysł ułaskawienia Hitlera. Pozornie dałoby to Hitlerowi to, czego chce, i przestałby dalej wzmacniać wojnę.</u>

What is the Proclamation of 1763?
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

This is what Bing says

"The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George III on October 7, 1763. It followed the Treaty of Paris, which formally ended the Seven Years' War and transferred French territory in North America to Great Britain. The Proclamation forbade all settlements west of a line drawn along the Appalachian Mountains, which was delineated as an Indian Reserve. Exclusion from the vast region of Trans-Appalachia created discontent between Britain and colonial land speculators and potential settlers. The proclamation and access to western lands was one of the first significant areas of dispute between Britain and the colonies and would become a contributing factor leading to the American Revolution. The 1763 proclamation line is similar to the Eastern Continental Divide's path running northwards from Georgia to the Pennsylvania–New York border and north-eastwards past the drainage divide on the St. Lawrence Divide from there northwards through New England."
