Explain why Germany's location in Europe contributed to its being involved in a two-front war?
mojhsa [17]

Answer: Because Germany was located in between potential enemies to its west (Britain, France) and a major potential enemy also in the east (Russia).

Context/detail:

Let's assume your question is referencing "The Great War," which we now know as World War I.  There was much military buildup and an arms race between the nations of Europe and increased tensions between the nations of Europe during the early years of the 20th century.  Along with increasing expenditures on military forces and navies, there was pressure to form alliances with other nations to strengthen a nation's defenses in case there was a war.  The Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance set up in opposition to each other.  

The Triple Entente aligned Britain, France and Russia all as allies with one another, sworn to come to each other's defense in time of war.  That put Germany and its allies (Austria-Hungary and Italy*) in between those powers.  Germany knew that if a major war broke out,  it would need to fight on both its western and eastern front.

Because Russia and France were tied together in an alliance, and opposed to Germany, the Schlieffen Plan (developed by German field marshall Alfred von Schlieffen) determined that a quick strike against France  on the western front would be necessary in order to focus any war efforts against Russia in the east.  This played into the start of World War I, because when only Germany (along with Austria-Hungary) and Russia were involved in war declarations after the assassination of Austria's archduke Franz Ferdinand, the first thing the German army did was to go and attack France.  

*<em>Note:  Italy changed sides when the Great War began and sided with the Allies (Britain, France, Russia, etc) rather than the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, plus Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire).</em>

Answer:

Smith argued that by giving everyone freedom to produce and exchange goods as they pleased (free trade) and opening the markets up to domestic and foreign competition, people's natural self-interest would promote greater prosperity than with stringent government regulations.

What do multinational coporations tend to become very involved in politics all over the world?
lara31 [8.8K]
Just like any big corporation in this country, corporations like to use their wealth and power to influence politicians and policies to their benefit. Multinationals operate in many different countries, so they have interest in the operation, production and consumption, which includes dealing with labor laws, environmental impact, taxes, etc. Every country is different, but the interest of the corporation is usually the same...profit. For this reason, they have a keen interest in the politics and politicians of every country where they do business.
