Answer:The interwar period in the United States, and in the rest of the world, is a most interesting era. The decade of the 1930s marks the most severe depression in our history and ushered in sweeping changes in the role of government. Economists and historians have rightly given much attention to that decade. However, with all of this concern about the growing and developing role of government in economic activity in the 1930s, the decade of the 1920s often tends to get overlooked. This is unfortunate because the 1920s are a period of vigorous, vital economic growth. It marks the first truly modern decade and dramatic economic developments are found in those years. There is a rapid adoption of the automobile to the detriment of passenger rail travel. Though suburbs had been growing since the late nineteenth century their growth had been tied to rail or trolley access and this was limited to the largest cities. The flexibility of car access changed this and the growth of suburbs began to accelerate. The demands of trucks and cars led to a rapid growth in the construction of all-weather surfaced roads to facilitate their movement. The rapidly expanding electric utility networks led to new consumer appliances and new types of lighting and heating for homes and businesses. The introduction of the radio, radio stations, and commercial radio networks began to break up rural isolation, as did the expansion of local and long-distance telephone communications. Recreational activities such as traveling, going to movies, and professional sports became major businesses. The period saw major innovations in business organization and manufacturing technology. The Federal Reserve System first tested its powers and the United States moved to a dominant position in international trade and global business. These things make the 1920s a period of considerable importance independent of what happened in the 1930s.

Why was it difficult for American forces to defend themselves against Japanese fire

Ivanshal [37]

I don't know what you're referring to, and don't think it was much different than defending against a number of well-armed, trained, and disciplined troops. If anything, the German Army in WWII was a really tough bunch.

<span>Two things may show some differences, however, at least in the war in the Pacific. Japanese were far more willing to fight to the last man, rather than surrender, whereas most German units would stick the white flag up when it was clear that they had lost the engagement, and had no retreat. In "island hopping", the US also took on extremely fortified Japanese positions that were not destroyed with even massive bombing and naval fire</span>

Mark the statement if it accurately describes European history and geography.

nlexa [21]

The correct answer is letter C

The invasion force would have approximately 67,000 men, including landing troops and parachutists. The command of operations was the responsibility of Admiral Erich Raeder, commander of Kriegsmarine. Training started in the second half of 1940 at the port of Boulogne. The starting date for the launch of Seeöwer was September of that year. In the initial planning, the targets would be the region between Dorset and Kent. Thanks to Lutfwaffe's inability to achieve air superiority, Operation had its first postponement to October and later to the summer of 1941, when the focus of the war shifted to Operation Barbarossa.

Operation Sealion never got off the ground. If it had become a reality, the Second World War would surely be prolonged or even have its result altered. What we know today is that there was a List, which would accompany the SS occupation troops, with the names of personalities who were to be arrested and killed in the event of a full occupation by the Germans. This list, known in the post-war era and dubbed the Black Book, contained names of people like Churchill, Chamberlain, Bernard Shaw, Noël Pierce Coward, among others.
