The Allies had pushed the German occupying troops on the Italian peninsula farther and farther north. On June 4, U.S. Gen. Mark Clark had captured Rome. Now the Germans had dug in north of Florence. Built earlier in the year, this defensive line consisted of fortified towns, stretching from Pisa in the west to Pesaro in the east. One of these towns was Siena, home to much glorious medieval art—also home to the Italian partisans, guerillas who had been harassing the Germans and remnants of Italian fascists since Italy had surrendered. Their ability to create chaos and confusion behind the Germans’ own lines was of great aid to the Allies.

Expert strategic maneuvering by British General Harold Alexander, who opened his offensive on August 25, surprised the Germans, and the 8th Army swept through the Plain of Lombardy, crashing through the Gothic Line.

Why did the United States declare war against Mexico? What were two effects of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo? Explain in detai
NISA [10]

Answer:

On May 12, 1846, the United States Senate voted 40 to 2 to go to war with Mexico. President James K. Polk had accused Mexican troops of having attacked Americans on U.S. soil, north of the Rio Grande. But Mexico claimed this land as its own territory and accused the American military of having invaded. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848, the treaty allowed the United States to purchase California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado for fifteen million dollars, doubling the size of the United States, but also displacing millions of Mexican citizens in new American territory. Mexico also gave up all claims to Texas and recognized the Rio Grande as America's southern boundary.

What is the 5 types of roles in a community according to Kmiec. ​
12345 [234]

Answer:

1. The Host: Somebody has to be willing to entertain all these guests, put on a great event, maintain the peace, and clean up after the party is over. On top of that, the host has to make sure everybody is having a good time. The host keeps your glass full, the food coming, the music playing, and the entertainment fun. Without the host you wouldn’t have a place to kick back, hang up your coat, and pass the time. The host’s job isn’t all fun though. The host has to be willing to set some rules, enforce them, and when in doubt kick some people out. Perhaps most importantly, the host needs to be trustworthy. After all, you aren’t going to just hand over your car keys to a complete stranger.

2. The Facilitator: They’re often confused with the host because they seem like a do-gooder who wants to ensure everyone is having a good time. However, they play a different and very important role. The facilitator genuinely wants to make sure everyone is happy. They have a curious nature about them and truly enjoy a good conversation. Without the facilitator conversations would grow quiet and stagnant. If you will, people would stop moving about and meeting other people. On some levels the facilitator is a matchmaker. Their grasp about all the things taking place in the community is amazing. But, unlike the voyeur, the facilitator is willing to share that information with people.

3. The Popular One: This is the most important person in the community. Yes, the popular one makes it all about them, but they also bring a whole bunch of people with them. Some people show up to see them. Some people show up to be able to say they saw them. Some people show up because they might see them. The popular one has a tight knit set of friends and a large group of pseudo-friends that show up at the same places they do. If you don’t get the popular one (s) to show up you’re going to have a tiny, boring, and listless community.

4. The Instigator: Somebody needs to stir the pot. Somebody needs to be willing to say the things others won’t and do the things that make people shake their head. That’s what’s great about the instigator, they keep things interesting. People love and hate the instigator. They love watching what comes next, but they hate all the attention he/she gets. But, here’s the thing, everybody loves controversy. It’s the reason the news outlets exist. If everyday was 72, sunny, without a chance of rain, and everybody was happy, no one would tune in or read the paper. The instigator engages in conversations just to take the other position. They are pure entertainment.

5. The Voyeur: I love the voyeur. They don’t cause problems, usually lend a hand to the host, never overstay their welcome, and always tell everyone what a GREAT time they had. Some times they’re known as wallflowers, but that’s not really giving them their fair due. Wallflowers, don’t interact and seldom even show up. The voyeur shows up. It’s that showing up that helps the community out tremendously. Even without actively participating they make an impact, because they can be counted. The host can say/claim 500 people showed up, even though 420 of them were voyeurs. The voyeur can be taxed, even though he/she contributes less than many other community members. Yes, without the voyeur we’d all be in trouble.
