The spoils system was the idea that the victor takes the spoils of war, that is, the person who won the presidency can fire all employees that don't support him and put his own people into positions of power in federal agencies and organizations.

Which of the following statements would explain why Germany and Austria-Hungary were known as central powers
prisoha [69]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

"The Allies described the wartime military alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire as the 'Central Powers'. The name referred to the geographical location of the two original members of the alliance, Germany and Austria-Hungary, in central Europe."

"The geographical position of the German and Austro-Hungarian empires also gave the Central Powers at least one very important strategic advantage over the Allies they were fighting. It was much easier for the Germans and Austro-Hungarians to move troops, equipment and supplies from one battle front to another because they could do much of this on their domestic railway networks."
