Answer:

China celebrated its first victory on October 8, 1939. At the First Battle of Changsha, Japan attacked the capital of the Hunan Province, but the Chinese army cut Japanese supply lines and defeated the Imperial Army.

Still, Japan captured the Nanning and Guangxi coast and stopped foreign aid by sea to China after winning the Battle of South Guangxi. China wouldn't go down easy, though. It launched the Winter Offensive in November 1939, a country-wide counteroffensive against Japanese troops. Japan held in most places, but it realized then it would not be easy to win against China's sheer size.

Although China held onto the critical Kunlun Pass in Guangxi that same winter, keeping a supply flow from French Indochina to the Chinese army, the Battle of Zoayang-Yichang saw Japan's success in driving toward the provisional new capital of China at Chongqing.

Firing back, Communist Chinese troops in northern China blew up rail-lines, disrupted Japanese coal supplies, and even made a frontal assault on Imperial Army troops, resulting in a strategic Chinese victory in December 1940.

As a result, on December 27, 1940, Imperial Japan signed the Tripartite Pact, which aligned the nation with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy as part of the Axis Powers.

1941: Axis vs. Allies

As early as April 1941, volunteer American pilots called the Flying Tigers begin to fly supplies to Chinese forces from Burma over "the Hump"—the eastern end of the Himalayas. In June of that year, troops from Great Britain, India, Australia, and France invaded Syria and Lebanon, held by pro-German Vichy French. The Vichy French surrendered on July 14.

In August 1941, the United States, which had supplied 80% of Japan's oil, initiated a total oil embargo, forcing Japan to seek new sources to fuel its war effort. The September 17 Anglo-Soviet Invasion of Iran complicated the matter by deposing the pro-Axis Shah Reza Pahlavi and replacing him with his 22-year-old son to ensure the Allies' access to Iranian oil.

The end of 1941 saw an implosion of the Second World War, starting with the December 7 Japanese attack on the U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii—which killed 2,400 American service members and sank four battleships. Simultaneously, Japan initiated the Southern Expansion, launching a massive invasion aimed at the Philippines, Guam, Wake Island, Malaya, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Midway Island.

In response, the United States and the United Kingdom formally declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941. Two days later, Japan sank the British warships HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales off the coast of Malaya, and the U.S. base at Guam surrendered to Japan.

Japan forced British colonial forces in Malaya to withdraw up to the Perak River a week later and from December 22–23, it launched a major invasion of Luzon in the Philippines, forcing American and Filipino troops to withdraw to Bataan.

Who was the character Jim Crow supposed to be and who was he almost always played by?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

C.An uneducated slave, played by a white man in a black face .

Explanation:

Throughout the 1830s and '40s, the white entertainer Thomas Dartmouth Rice (1808-1860) performed a popular song-and-dance act supposedly modeled after a slave. He named the character Jim Crow. Rice darkened his face, acted like a buffoon, and spoke with an exaggerated and distorted imitation of African American Vernacular English. In his Jim Crow persona, he also sang "Negro ditties" such as "Jump Jim Crow." Rice was not the first white comic to perform in blackface, but he was the most popular of his time, touring both the United States and England. As a result of Rice's success, "Jim Crow" became a common stage persona for white comedians' blackface portrayals of African Americans.

Why did John C. Frémont initially settle in the Salinas Valley before marching north, only to march south to San Francisco?
Nimfa-mama [501]

John C. Frémont settled in Salinas to accompany the annexation of California and then went south to support John D. Sloat.

John Charles Frémont (1813 - 1890) was an American military man who stood out for participating in the annexation of California to the United States and for being the first candidate for the presidency of the United States presented by the Republican Party in its history.

The process for the annexation of California to the United States began in December 1845 when John Frémont entered the Mexican province of Alta California (State of California) accompanied by 60 men under his command.

This incursion had the endorsement of the Mexican authorities because the Americans had argued that they were going with the intention of making a scientific and topographical expedition.

However, Frémont was in charge of encouraging and advising American citizens living in that territory to separate from Mexico to become part of the United States.

This incursion caused the crisis in this region to begin in 1846 because the citizens of this region wanted to become independent from Mexico. Subsequently, on June 14, 1846, the Republic of California was declared, and 25 days later they were annexed to the United States Government.

At that time Fremont was established in the Salinas Valley. Once he learned that he had support in the city of Monterrey (further south of Valle de Salinas) he went there and put himself at the disposal of John D. Sloat but he rejected it.

Why is Jordan called the Hashemite Kingdom?
Schach [20]

Answer:

The Hashemite name is derived from Hashem, a grandson of Qusai and the great-grandfather of the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). The Hashemites of Jordan are thus direct descendants of the Prophet through his daughter, Fatima, and her husband, Ali.
