Which of the following explains why a small conflict in the Balkans spread to all of Europe?
snow_lady [41]

Many of the European powers had entered into alliances requiring them to defend each other.


The systems of alliances and military plans which were put in place before World War I presupposed a major war between the countries which were tied together with alliances.  Because the Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies, Germany thought if a war began it would need to fight on two fronts -- west and east.  So German Field Marshall Alfred von Schlieffen drew up war plans that said attack France first, quickly, and then hold that territory while deploying forces to contend with Russia in the east.   


So then here's how it happened. When an Austrian prince and his wife were assassinated in Serbia, the Austrian Empire threatened the nation of Serbia with retaliatory action (even though the assassination was carried out by a terrorist group, not the Serbian government). Russia responded to Austria's threat, because Russia was bound to protect its Slavic ally, Serbia. Germany responded to the mobilization of Russian troops, and when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, they implemented the Schlieffen Plan and went on attack vs. France.  That pulled France and Britain into the war immediately as well, and the war spread and became a global conflict.

Identify the contributions of and explain the roles played by each of the following individuals during the Civil War.
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

A- Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until he was assassinated in 1865. He led the country through the Civil War, preserved the union, and abolished slavery. Lincoln was shot and killed in an assault when the war was over, just over a month after he was re-elected president for a second term.

B- Jefferson Davis was a politician in the United States of America who served as President of the Confederate States throughout his history, from 1861 to 1865, during the Civil War.

C- Stonewall Jackson was a major in the U.S. Army and a teacher at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia, and General in the Confederate Army in the Civil War. He is best known for the successful Valley Campaign and the flank attack at Chancellorsville.

D- Ulysses S. Grant was the general who led the Union army during the Civil War and the 18th president of the United States. He served in the Union Army before becoming president and eventually rose to command of the entire country’s armed forces. As president, Grant’s most significant achievement was improving the relationship between the United States and Britain.

E- Rose O'Neal Greenhow was a spy for the southern states in the Civil War. Her greatest achievement was relaying three strategically important messages to General Beauregard, which helped the Southern Army defeat the Northern Army in the First Battle of the Bull Run. When she was arrested for her activities for ten months, she smuggled information and letters out of prison.

F- Robert E. Lee was the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Southern Confederate States of America from 1862, during the Civil War. Initially successful against the much larger armies of the northern United States of America, he suffered a major defeat at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863. This marked a turning point in the Civil War. On April 9, 1865, he had to surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant.
