Germany was blamed for World War I and forced to pay reparations which plunged Germany into a depression. This lead to the rise
AURORKA [14]
Germany was hurt and punished for a war they had not begun. The german people had been pushed into a terrible time of poverty and that brought along hatred for the persecutors. They had been shamed and they were suffering. If they had not been punished so harshly it would've affected a second World War. The german people would not have been so easy to manipulate by Hitler and the Nazi's. There would not have been an opening for him to slip in. England and France had it in THEIR hands, they could have been lenient but they punished Germany to the fullest and it affected the people and in outcome the next war. Without that punishment we could have saved so many people.

Which of the following statements best describes the uses of geography, one of the six essential elements of geography?
dimulka [17.4K]

1. I believe the answer is: B.It helps people interpret the past, understand the present, and prepare for the future.

Geographical occurrences (such as earthquakes) tend to possess several signs that make it possible for humans to predict future occurrences.  By analysing the occurrences in the past, we can predict when next one would occurs, the damage that it cause, and the things that we can do to survive.

2. I believe the answer is: Regions are always unchanging and distinct in nature.

Regions are constantly changing due to natural factors and the activities by organisms who live in it. For example, the rising temperature cause the ice to melt and ended the ice age (natural factors)  , or factories that built by humans made the water resources in a certain region become consumables  (activities caused by those who lived in the region)

3. I believe the answer is: c. the world in spatial terms

the world in spatial terms associated geographic tools to collect information of location, place, and region in order to organize and characterize them.  The characterization would make it easier for people to identify geological occurrence that happen in the past and enable us to make prediction of the occurrences that might occurs in the future.
