5 0

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.

Should mobs be allowed to influence government action? why or why not?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

This is a difficult question to explain, and here is my opinion, they shouldn't.

Explanation:

Not allowing mobs to influence government actions, depends on how you define mobs. If they are peaceful protests, then they should be allowed to influence government action, for example, the civil rights movement.

A violent mob would be seen as a rebellion, at a certain extent, and shouldn't be allowed to influence government policies and decisions.

Which country controlled Vietnam prior to the Vietnam War? (5 points)
Anestetic [448]

France was a country which controlled Vietnam prior to the Vietnam War as their protectorate.

Explanation:

After WWII, Vietnam won independence but France still controlled the country until Nguyễn Tất Thành took over in 1954. In 1959, North Vietnam launched and forced a system to reunify the country, which pointed to an outbreak of the American War in Vietnam in the early 1960s. It was a close result of the First Indochina War (1946–1954) within France, which maintained Vietnam as a colony, and the communist forces .In 1973 a “third” Vietnam war began a continuation, actually within North and South Vietnam but without significant U.S. preoccupation.

Why Were African Americans fighting a double war during WWII, One against Germany and Japan, and one against segregation at home
Volgvan

Answer:

Because at the time, the American army was still segregated, and African Americans were discriminated in the army, even if they provided the same service for the country during the war against Germany and Japan.

Fortunately for African Americans, the army was desegregated after the war, and in the following decades, the Civil Rights Movement would lead to desegregation in most public and private places across the country, especially in the South.
