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.

In an experiment, you used a solvent to extract fat from hamburger meat. When you are finished in the experiment, then you should put the solvent and the fat into waste containers that are specific for the solvent used in the experiment. You cannot just throw them into the sink as it may pollute and cause unwanted effect on bodies of water. Also, you cannot throw it together with other wastes as you do not know the reaction that would happen with it with the other wastes.

What best describes the effect of Napoleons economic reforms had on the people of France?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

For the answer to the question above, Napoleon Bonaparte's biggest reform and influence was the Napoleonic Code. This code forbade privileges based on birth, gave the people freedom of religion and stated that government jobs should be awarded to the most qualified person. The code was not well liked among countries surrounding France at its time of implementation. Napoleon’s tax system decreased the inequality between the rich and the poor.
