<span>Spain was really the first global superpower, although it might share that limelight with Portugal. Spain (and Portugal) were the first states to be able to truly project their power around the globe,and extend economic relations (i.e., trade) globally as well. After Ferdinand and Isabella united the Castille-Leon and Aragon crowns in 1492 to form the Spanish kingdom, the Habsburgs took over the Spanish imperial throne in the early 1500s, at a time when the Habsburgs ruled the Holy Roman Empire (i.e., most of Germany, Austria, eastern France, Netherlands, Switzerland, northern Italy, Bohemia, "Royal" Hungary, as well as southern Italy (Sicily and Naples). The Habsburg-Spanish imperial empire was at its height under Charles V and his son, Philip II in the 1500s, when Spanish troops were on the Rhine River, in South America, in the Philippines (named after Philip II), in Albania, and elsewhere. Under Philip II the Habsburg empire was split in two, with a Central European (Austria-based) half, and a Western European (Spanish) half. Unfortunately the Spanish wasted much of the vast amounts of money (in the form of silver) pouring into the Spanish treasury from Peru, mostly in fruitless wars trying to suppress Protestantism in Central and northern Europe, and by 1600 Dutch, French and English ships were intruding on Spanish imperial interests and establishing their own colonies. But for most of the 1500s, Spain was easily the world's premier military power.</span>
Answer: B. He hails the USSR as a peace-loving country but depicts Hitler as a treacherous fiend.
Explanation:
The answer is indeed B because on July 3, 1941, less than a month after Hitler launched Operation Babarossa against the Soviet Union, Josef Stalin spoke to the Russian people on radio. He spoke on how Germany had captured much territory and was still pushing forward but tried to motivate the nation by referring to instances when armies met their doom in Russia such as when Napoleon suffered a heavy loss in Russia, a century earlier and promised that the same would happen to Germany.
He then stated that Hitler was a treacherous fiend who broke the Non-Aggression pact he had signed with the Soviet Union in 1939 who were a peace loving nation.
This was a new start to all groups. It evolved hunter and gatherers into a more "civilized" population. The people found out about agriculture. People started to farm more which lead to a good source of sustainable food. This lead people to settle down and build in the area they farmed in. More food created a more stable life which helped increase the population.
