History

hoa [83]3 years ago

Answer:

The diplomatic and military context of Europe in 1940 and its circumstances may explain why Hitler decided to attack France.

After the invasion of Poland in September 1939, France and Great Britain had declared war on Germany, but it wasn´t accompanied by military operations. It was the so-called "phony war", which together with bad weather, undoubtedly gave Hitler and his commanders enough time to plan the amazing Blitzkrieg with which they overwhelmed Belgium and France.

Before invading Poland, Hitler made a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union; he assured his back and neutralized the worrying possibility of fighting a two-front war at that moment. Germany was not prepared to attack the Soviet Union. So, he turned all his attention to try to knock down his main threat: France and Britain. Belgium and Holland were neutral nations and were taken for surprise.

A. Explain absolutism and is significance.
jeka57 [31]

Absolutism was a very common form of government in Europe between the 16th and 19th centuries and defended the theory of the king's absolute power over the entire nation. The power of kings during the <u>Middle Ages </u>was considered limited compared to the absolutist period, as there was a lot of political fragmentation and the king's influence depended on a relationship of vassalage, in which the exchange of favors between kings and nobles guaranteed real power.

As modern nations were being structured, mainly England, France and Spain, and as trade resurfaced in Europe, a new social class emerged with great economic power: the bourgeoisie. For the bourgeoisie, the political and economic fragmentation that existed since the Middle Ages was not interesting, as it affected their business, mainly because of the differences in currency and taxes existing from one province to another (even in provinces of the same kingdom, there were these differences in currency and taxes).

The nobility, in turn, welcomed the concentration of power in the figure of the monarch as a way to guarantee control of the lands he owned. Thus, the concentration of power in the hands of the king was a demand from the rising bourgeoisie and also from the nobility.

US citizens participate in the judicial branch of government by
egoroff_w [7]
<span>Citizen, they have very little involvement. Jury duty is random and compulsory although there are many ways out of it. Many jurisdictions elect their judges, but this is often done in spring elections with under a 20% turnout. Other than those two paths, and of course being a plaontiff or defendant, the only way to be a part of the judicial system is by getting a law degree.</span>
