D. the sinking of the British ocean liner, <em>Lusitania.</em>
When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the <em>Lusitania </em>in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.
As an example of American feeling after the <em>Lusitania </em>incident, consider the reaction of Gifford Pinchot. He had been the Chief of the US Forestry Service (from 1905 to 1910) , and was quoted in the New York Times in May, 1915, after he had just recently returned from Europe. He asserted that Americans on the<em> Lusitania</em> (along with other passengers) were killed because an autocratic military empire was trying to dominate nations that were self-governing. His characterization of German intentions would mirror how President Woodrow Wilson later called on the USA to enter the war to "make the world safe for democracy."
Answer and Explanation:
Germany managed to invade France in 46 days. This surprised all of Europe who believed that the French resistance would be more aggressive, and could even defeat the Nazis.
One of the main reasons why Germany managed to conquer France was the use of the blitzkrieg. This was an innovative strategy for the time, when the German attacked its enemies with a series of coordinated attacks that united infantry, aviation and armored vehicles in a single point of the enemy's defense. To attack France, Germany used this strategy in the Ardennes, where the French army was completely cornered.
In addition, the German army made constant use of methamphetamines, which allowed soldiers to spend long periods of time without getting tired, promoting a progressive and fulminating attack.
