1 answer:

8 0

The Germans were also furious about the various terms of the Treaty. They hated clause 231 – the ‘War Guilt’ clause – which stated that Germany had caused ‘all the loss and damage’ of the war. Firstly, the Germans did not think that they had caused the war (for the Germans, the war was a war of self-defence against Russia, which had mobilised 31 July 1914). During the 1920s, the Germans published all their secret documents from 1914, to prove they had tried to stop the war. Secondly, the Germans hated clause 231 because accepting it gave the Allies the moral right to punish Germany – it validated all the harsh terms of the Treaty.

Explain the relationship between the Cold War and Americans everyday lives. Cite evidence from the text in your response

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The Cold War had a tremendous impact on the everyday lives of Americans. For example, students in public schools during the 1950's often had to practice "Duck and Cover" drills. These drills forced students to cover their head with their hands and to hide underneath desks. One of the reasons students practiced these drills was in case nuclear warfare between the United States and Soviet Union took place.

In the aforementioned scenario, students would be ducking and covering to protect themselves from the effects of a nuclear attack. This type of drill showed the Americans were constantly in fear of what might happen next between the US and the Soviet Union.

What was the biggest hinderance to Union Victory? Explain

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The Battle of Shiloh in April 1862

Explanation:

The battle in Shiloh in April 6-7, 1862, is considered as the biggest hinderance to Union's victory, as the battle was the bloodiest of the Civil War, with a total casualties for both Union and Confederates sides numbered over 20,000. This battle ended without any clear winner.

However, some considered Union to have won by a narrow victory, after the battle of Shiloh, Union troops laid siege to Corinth, forcing Confederate troops to withdraw Memphis Tennessee, which eventually fell to Union forces on June 6 1862.
