They were not prepared for war.  The greatest possible disadvantage was that if they had tried to attack Germany at that time, they may well have lost.  They needed time to ramp up for full military action.

After "the war to end all wars" (World War I, which was then called The Great War), there had been a strong aversion to return to war.  The world was not ready for the way Germany remilitarized itself and used <em>Blitzkrieg </em>tactics to embark on a new war.  When Germany attacked France in May, 1940, France was overwhelmed.  The British needed to hold on with much resolve during the Battle of Britain (July - October, 1940).  So to think that the British or French were ready in 1939 or 1940 to take on the German war machine on German soil would have been potentially disastrous.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

see explanation and i got an a btw.

Explanation:

b. The development of diseases in the sixteenth century would support the arguments of the “new generation of historians in the second paragraph because the “new generation of historians” would look at this in relation to european imperialism and see the impact of the european diseases like smallpox that would plague places like modern day united states because of the european immunity, but lack of native immunity.  

c. The “biological competition” contributed to the European imperialism in the Americas by creating a survival of the fittest environment where the europeans brought in diseases like smallpox that had plagued europe generations ago, but infected the native populations and weaken them in both their numbers and their strength, which enabled the Europeans to take control of the new world and develop a dominance while the natives were fighting a disease. This was “biological competition” because the Europeans' immunity was assisting them in fighting the natives' lack thereof.
