Question

What was a result of the scorched-earth tactic that the British used against the Japanese in the Bengal province?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The deaths of millions of people in India

D. Target political opponents

Explanation:

The scorched-earth tactic that the British used against the Japanese in the Bengal province included purposefully burning down Bengal villagers' food supplies with the aim that the Japanese forces could not use the food supplies.

In addition to this scorched-earth strategy, there was also a cyclone that destroyed the area and there were about three million deaths due to hunger and starvation.

Mao Zedong used propaganda during the cultural revolution to target political opponents as he was totally against any capitalist ideas and sought that the dynasty be completely communist.
