History
1 answer:
Papessa [141]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: d. Washington used the winter there to train his soldiers and improve their discipline.

Explanation:

When the Patriot army of 12,000 marched into Valley Forge in the winter of 1777, they did so in low spirits for they had been forced out of the Continental capital of Philadelphia by the British.

Washington did not let this affect him too much however and in the winter that followed the Americans did all they could to survive and come out stronger.

Before this winter, the American forces had been disunited because they were trained by different instructions. With the arrival of the Prussian army officer,  Baron von Steuben, he along with Washington were able to train the soldiers in modern warfare tactics that saw the continental army that went into Valley Forge come out a well trained and disciplined army.

A spectacular event in the collapse of the Soviet Union that allowed for a freely elected government in Germany was the
zhuklara [117]

<em>The Berlin Wall being destructed.</em>

Explanation:

When World War II finally ended, Germany got split up into two parts. West Germany was taken control by the Allies, while East Germany was controlled by the Soviet Union.

East Germany was run by a government that centered around communism, which overtime many people did not agree with. The citizens that resided in East Germany started leaving and going to West Germany. So many people started leaving that the government of East Germany started worrying about it and decided that they needed to take action.

This lead East German leaders to build the Berlin Wall, which separated West and East Germany from each other. If any East Germans were caught trying to move to the West, they would be imprisoned or even shot on the spot.

Eventually, people from across the globe caught word of this and wanted to help free East German people from communist rule. United States President, Ronald Reagan gave a speech in which he clearly stated he wanted to tear down the Berlin Wall and free the people. A couple of years or so later, the Berlin wall finally got torn down and the collapse of the Soviet Union came with it. This freed Germany and could now obtain a freely elected government.
