<span>To give the appearance of a massive troop buildup in southeast England, the Allies created a largely phantom fighting force, the First U.S. Army Group, headed by George Patton, the American general whom the Nazis considered to be the enemy’s best commander and the logical man to lead a cross-channel invasion. The Allies broadcast endless hours of fictitious radio transmissions about troop and supply movements and planted wedding notices for fake soldiers in local newspapers. They deceived Nazi aerial reconnaissance planes by fashioning dummy aircraft and an armada of decoy landing crafts, composed only of painted canvases pulled over steel frames, around the mouth of the River Thames. They even deployed inflatable Sherman tanks, which they moved to different locations under the cover of night, and used rollers to simulate tire tracks left behind in their wake.

Why did the African slave trade expand?​
erica [24]

Answer:

The expansion of the African slave trade was a result of the demand for slaves in the colonial Americas.Tens of thousands of people were forcibly transported out of Africa to work on plantations, in mines and as domestic servants all over the Americas. The slave trade continued for hundreds of years, only ending in the nineteenth century. The slave trade increased because it was profitable. Those who controlled the trade - European slave-owners and traders, and African rulers and traders - benefited greatly from it. African rulers and traders were involved in the slave trade because selling slaves was a way to gain power and wealth.
