Why was important the arms race
Jlenok [28]

Answer: To achieve military domination on a global scale.

Explanation:

With the end of World War II, tensions between the united states and the Soviet Union increased. This event in history is known as the Cold War. Many factors characterize the Cold War. One of the main features is the armament race between these two superpowers.

In this sense, the importance of this fact lies in the effort to highlight one of the two forces as the most dominant in the military mind. To this end, the Soviet Union and the United States have spent billions of dollars on new military innovations and technologies.

Which situation best describes the concept of causation
levacccp [35]

Concept of causation: When one event happens because of another.

In history, it is rarely the case that there is a single cause of an event.  There are often multiple causes and factors and motivations that all play into the unfolding of historical happenings.  Reformation historian Roland Bainton said, "The sum of the matter is that causation is exceedingly difficult to assess.  One can do no more than offer a plausible conjecture."  Bainton believed there were causes of events in history, but that there could be much investigation and debate about the complexity of those causes.  That's part of our work as historians -- to investigate different possibilities and theses and see which are the most likely factors in causing events to unfold as they did.  And as we make our assessment of causes, we remain open to the possibility that new evidence might surface that will change our understanding of causes of what happened in the past.

To protect its frontiers, the Roman Empire depended on mercenaries. What is a mercenary?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Mercenary is a soldier who fights only for pay

Thus the correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Mercenaries were soldiers who would attack anyone if they were pain a ransom. Rome is said to be the most ancient and vast empire which had a great military war strategy. Over expansion militarily was the reason for its downfall too.  

From Atlantic Ocean to Euphrates River, Rome expanded the borders but in order to protect itself from the attacks of barbaric tribe, it had to rely upon mercenaries who were robust and sturdy soldiers who would attack anyone if they were paid. The only disadvantage of them was that they never paid allegiance to Rome. Whoever paid them, they fought for them.  

They were inexperienced too and not well trained. Rome had common subjects too in the army but they were not well trained these factors led to the fall of Rome.
