You didn't provide the excerpte, but the Declaration of Independence's strong overall theme is that <u>people are born with natural rights</u>.


Perhaps the most memorable phrase from the Declaration is this: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."


It is also the case that the Declaration of Independence supports the idea that government's power should be determined by the people. The very next words in the Declaration assert, "To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."


The founding fathers of the United States had adopted ideas about natural rights and the people's sovereignty from Enlightenment philosophers like John Locke (of England) and Baron de Montesquieu (of France).

Why did the Germans need to defeat France as quickly as<br> possible in 19142
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The German nightmare was a war on two fronts. Historically, Russia needed time to ‘mobilize’, that is, to call up reservists, equip them, and assign them to their regiments and platoons. So the logical way of operating was to attack and defeat the French first, before attacking the Russians. But in 1914 the Russians cheated; they mobilised before they announced it so their army was in the field quite a long time before the Germans expected it — and the dreaded war on two fronts materialised. The Germans were lucky in that their effective commander Ludendorff (who was technically 2ic) moved his troops about by train, so they were not already exhausted by a long and hurried march and were able to throw the Russians back into complete confusion and surrender.

So the Russians were defeated but not mortally injured, the French came close to defeat but just managed to stabilise a front, and the ‘despicable English Army’ saved itself from disaster by the narrowest Of margins.

Four years of continuous bloody slaughter were assured.

Which occupying country sought to strip Germany of its industry after World War II? A. United States B. Britain C. France D. Sov
MissTica

The correct answer is - France.

France was the country that was the most angered at Germany after the World War II. If it was up to France, Germany would have lost the right to have any armed forces, be it military or police, and have ended up without any industry, and every single money and gold it had it was going to lost them.

The anger of France was understandable, but still they had to take into consideration the civilian population and their future. The other countries were not so harsh, though lot of sanctions and restrictions were implemented on Germany. It was decided that Germany will retain its industry, and that the country should develop economically, while being closely monitored, controlled, and restricted in certain things.
