Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

This French line of defense was constructed along the country’s border with Germany during the 1930s and named after Minister of War André Maginot. It primarily extended from La Ferté to the Rhine River, though sections also stretched along the Rhine and the Italian frontier. The main fortifications on the northeast frontier included 22 large underground fortresses and 36 smaller fortresses, as well as blockhouses, bunkers and rail lines. Despite its strength and elaborate design, the line was unable to prevent an invasion by German troops who entered France via Belgium in May 1940.

The Maginot line was named after Andre Maginot (1877-1932), a politician who served in World War I until wounded in November 1914. He used crutches and walking sticks for the remainder of his life. While serving after World War I as France’s minister of war and then as president of the Chamber of Deputies’ Army Commission, he helped complete plans for the defensive line along the northeastern frontier and obtain funds to build it.

The main fortifications of the Maginot line extended from La Ferte (thirty kilometers east of Sedan) to the Rhine River, but fortifications also stretched along the Rhine and along the Italian frontier. The fortifications on the northeast frontier included twenty-two huge underground fortresses and thirty-six smaller fortresses, as well as many blockhouses and bunkers. The French placed most of their largest fortresses in the northeast because of their desire to protect the large population, key industries, and abundant natural resources located near the Moselle valley

The first attack by the Germans against the Maginot line itself occurred on May 16, 1940, and was directed against the isolated fortifications at La Ferte on the extreme western tip of the line. The Germans managed to capture the casemates only after four days of hard fighting, and with the support of large amounts of heavy artillery and high-velocity 88-mm fire. Despite the use of massive force, the Germans failed to capture a single major fortress before the armistice on June 25. Though designed to withstand attacks from Germany, the Maginot line fortresses could be defended against attacks from the rear; consequently, the Americans had no easy task fighting their way through the line in 1944-1945.

Why do historians construct historical narratives to communicate ideas about

engages an audience.
B. Narratives help historians translate documents in foreign

c. Narratives allow historians to make a point about the past without
citing sources
D. Narratives help transform historical documents into oral histories.

Answers

Historians construct historical narratives to communicate ideas about the past to others because narratives organize historical information into a format that engages an audience.

The historical narrative is a literary subgenre that is characterized by organizing historical information in a format other than academic so that ordinary people can access it through other formats that engage an audience such as:

Historians have chosen to organize this historical information so that more people can easily access it. Additionally, the historical narrative uses the long verse because it offers adequate structures to tell stories.

Additionally, options B, C, and D are not correct because they refer to purposes that do not correspond to the historical narrative.

Answers

The Women were told during the 1950s that truly feminine women do not need careers or political rights.

What is women feminine?

Feminine means `having qualities that are traditionally considered to be typical of women, especially being pretty or gentle'.

The feminine mystique is the false notion that a woman's “role” in society is to be a wife, mother, and housewife - nothing else.

The mystique is an artificial idea of femininity that says having a career and/or fulfilling one's individual potential somehow go against women's pre-ordained role.

Hence, Option B is true, as Women were told during the 1950s that truly feminine women do not need careers or political rights.

Who lived in North America before anyone else

Explanation: is this seriously something you are stuck on?  i would think you would know this since your in college or that what it says in you question

The original inhabitants of North America where the Native American tribes such as the Cherokee, Sioux, etcetera. Leif Erikson (a Viking explorer) was the first person to discover North America, and did so long before Columbus ever even sailed his ships. Later, Columbus would accidentally discover the Americas in a voyage for Portugal and Spain. The Spanish were the first to colonize what is now Mexico, the United States of America, and Canada. They were quickly followed by the Portuguese, British, and French.

It is important to note that many believe the ancestors of the Native Americans came from Asia (which is why the Asians and Natives are both Mongoloids with similar DNA), crossed a land bridge from what is now Russia in prehistoric times in nomadic tribes. They eventually adapted and settled, growing into separate nations.

Question 1: What roles did science and technology play in Europe's conquest of the world?

Question 2: How did European leaders and citizens justify their imperial conquests and their seizure of other people's resources?

Answers

Answer:

Q.1 -They wanted to improve their economy for instance by acquiring more spices, gold, and better and faster trading routes. Also, they really believed in the need to spread their religion, Christianity

Q.2 - In order to begin to talk about the justification of seizure and conquest by European explorers and leaders, you have to first look back at the motivation of these leaders. A good way to remember these are the three G's: Gold, God, and Glory. Gold: As we've seen in history, the greed of Europeans ultimately began centuries of explorations that served as a way for nations to take resources (spices, statues, minerals, humans) and colonizing these affected areas to continue this trade. Glory: This also worked to spread the names of leaders, working to give power to nations that were able to infiltrate other countries and take over anything within their reach. These resources were taken by any means necessary, even the genocide of innocent groups of people.

With this said, there is one G left. God: To justify these atrocities, Christianity was used as a means of justification. People of nations outside of Western civilizations have adopted cultural traditions (customs, language, religion, clothing norms) that were so vastly different from the way of life for Europeans. These differences were used in the argument that deemed anyone that wasn't part of the Western world barbaric. People of these targeted countries were labelled as uncivilized savages. There is a poem by Rudyard Kipling called "The White Man's Burden" that exemplifies the very racist Eurocentric thinking during mass colonization that called for white men to transform the way of life for non-white people in the world in the name of God.
