Answer:

A. Would be theirs, as long as they stuck to the plan.

<h2>Why was the Battle of the Marne significant in history?</h2>

It's rather a case of right place, right time. The German flanking plan, known as the Schleiffen Plan, was largely misunderstood by the French in their initial maneuvers, leaving an unlocked rear door.

When it was evident that the axis of progress through Belgium was the major German effort and the German goals were known, Joffre repositioned his forces to counter this assault. Joffre made smart tactical choices as he retired to the Marne's positions. Shortening communication and supply lines while reorganizing dispersed troops are all benefits of a well-planned retreat.

In order to destroy the French army in detail, Moltke must move to fight them while simultaneously expanding his administrative lines. However, he cannot push on Paris while the French army is still in tact just off to the left.

Joffre doesn't now need to annihilate the German army; all he needs to do is keep them out of Paris and the coast of the English Channel. The point is that Joffre can't defeat the Germans in a decisive battle, but if he keeps them there or, better yet, drives them onto territory that will allow for a thorough and German-evicting counterattack, the time he buys will sap his opponent's material strength while he gains more every day from the UK and foreign Colonial forces.

In 100 to 150 words, explain the political changes from Map 1 to Map 2.
ira [324]
The Scramble for Africa refers to the period between roughly 1884 and 1914, when the European colonisers partitioned the – up to that point – largely unexplored African continent into protectorates, colonies and ‘free-trade areas’. At the time the colonisers had limited knowledge of local conditions and their primary consideration was to avoid conflict among themselves for African soil. Since no one could foresee the short-lived colonial era, the border design – which endured the wave of independence in the 1960s – had sizable long-lasting economic and political consequences. The Scramble for Africa resulted in several large countries characterised by highly heterogeneous geography and ethnically fragmented populations that limit the ability of governments to broadcast power and build state capacity.
