What were the military outcomes and important results of the german invasion of france?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

1-The Germans quickly and efficiently conquered France, 2- Britain's Royal Air Force defeated the German air force in the Battle of Britain, which halted the Nazi's planned invasion of England, and 3-Germany's surprise invasion of the Soviet Union set the stage for Hitler's ultimate defeat, as they eventually lost in excess of one million experienced soldiers killed, wounded, or captured and eventually no longer had the combat manpower to fight.

Hope this helps :)

Why was the Byzantine Empire able to flourish when the Western Roman Empire collapsed

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Constantine moved the capital to Byzantium and changed the religious character of the empire from pagan to Christian. This made it different from the Roman Empire.

Despite being the leader of the entire Roman Empire, he made important changes that marked the beginning of what would eventually be called the Byzantine Empire

It also benefited greatly from a stronger administrative center and internal political stability, as well as great wealth compared with other states of the early medieval period.

Explanation:

The Byzantine Empire was the eastern continuation of the Roman Empire after the Western Roman Empire's fall in the fifth century CE. It lasted from the fall of the Roman Empire until the Ottoman conquest in 1453.

Continuities: The Byzantine Empire initially maintained many Roman systems of governance and law and aspects of Roman culture. The Byzantines called themselves "Roman". The term "Byzantine Empire" was not used until well after the fall of the Empire.

Changes: The Byzantine Empire shifted its capital from Rome to Constantinople, changed the official religion to Christianity, and changed the official language from Latin to Greek.

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Slave rebellions were a continuous source of fear in the American South, especially since black slaves accounted for more than one-third of the region’s population in the 18th century. Laws dictating when, where and how slaves could congregate were enacted to prevent insurrection and quell white paranoia. It’s estimated there were at least 250 slave rebellions in America before slavery was abolished in 1865.
