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.
Answer:
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world."
—Hymn sung at the completion of the Battle Monument Concord, July 4, 1837
The claim in Emerson's line is expansive. Can it be true that the shot was heard round the world—when there were no satellites, no television, no radio, no telephone? Let us see.
It then took from five to six weeks for news to cross the Atlantic. (The first regular passenger service between England and the colonies was instituted in 1755.) Thus the news of the "battles" of Lexington and Concord, fought on April 19, 1775, appeared on May 29 in the London press
The main reason why people in other European countries resisted Napoleon’s efforts to build an empire is because they had autonomous nations that had well-developed customs, and they new that a new regime such as Napoleon's would force them to change.
Advantages:
From a conservative or state-based ideology: it is much easier to control population since they rarely receive "strange" ideas or influence from outside. Domestic policies become much more important. In so, it becomes easier to set popular aims targeting citizens.
The country could(historically seen) stand the best defense against outside powers which could try to set an invasion. For example, the Great Wall of China turned out to set a strong defense against Mongols and other menaces along many centuries.
Disadvantages are listed:
Trading with other countries can influence negatively on economic growth, as there is no autonomous country even if it results as big as China.
Trade has become key in today's globalized world, henceforth the need to collaborate or cooperate in economic exchanges is a necessity to keep up the pace in global affairs.
