7 0

Educated at West Point, George S. Patton (1885-1945) began his military career leading cavalry troops against Mexican forces and became the first officer assigned to the new U.S. Army Tank Corps during World War I. Promoted through the ranks over the next several decades, he reached the high point of his career during World War II, when he led the U.S. 7th Army in its invasion of Sicily and swept across northern France at the head of the 3rd Army in the summer of 1944. Late that same year, Patton’s forces played a key role in defeating the German counterattack in the Battle of the Bulge, after which he led them across the Rhine River and into Germany, capturing 10,000 miles of territory and liberating the country from the Nazi regime. Patton died in Germany in December 1945 of pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure following an automobile accident.

andre [41]

Answer:

1( Britain and France

2( Germany and the Soviet Union

3( . The Soviet occupation of eastern Poland in September and the “Winter War” against Finland in December led President Franklin Roosevelt to condemn the Soviet Union publicly as a “dictatorship as absolute as any other dictatorship in the world,” and to impose a “moral embargo” on the export of certain products to the Soviets. Nevertheless, in spite of intense pressure to sever relations with the Soviet Union, Roosevelt never lost sight of the fact that Nazi Germany, not the Soviet Union, posed the greatest threat to world peace. In order to defeat that threat, Roosevelt confided that he “would hold hands with the devil” if necessary.

4( The Eastern Front, where troops from Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, Russia, and the Balkans fought, was larger than the Western Front.

Which best describes a development that improved railroad safety? A. Railroads adopted standard time to coordinate schedules. B.

xxTIMURxx [149]

The correct answer is option D. "Companies replaced hand-operated brakes with air brakes on trains". The development of air brakes on trains was a significant improvement of railroad safety. Air brakes function much more faster than hand-operated brakes, because hand-operated brakes required that the brakemen turned the brakes in one car and jump to the next to set the brakes on, and so on.

The correct answer is C) developing of irrigation methods.

One characteristic of the Aztec Empire was the developing of irrigation methods.

The Aztec Empire was a dominant tribe in Mesoamerica in the 1500s. Mesoamerica is the vast region from the center of Mexico until the region of Oaxaca and part of Tabasco states. The Aztec people were fierce warriors that conquered other tribes such as the “Tlaxcaltecas” and the “Cholultecas”. The Aztecs developed irrigation methods, as well as constructed floating gardens called “Chinampas” that still today are used in the suburb of Xochimilco, southside Mexico City.
