Sorry but I don't agree with D for #5 at all..

A defense strategy works against the offense. Blitzkrieg was an offensive maneuver.

Your answers are right.
I have to disagree with Ms.Sue.
#10 is D
#16 is C
I have to disagree with Ms.Sue.
#10 is D
#16 is C
#18 is not B because the Boxer rebellion was aimed to eliminate foreign trade and influence.
For question 5, the success of the blitzkrieg depended mainly on superiority in:
d. mobile ground troops
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand what the blitzkrieg strategy is. Blitzkrieg is a German term meaning "lightning war," and it refers to a military tactic used by the Germans during World War II. The key element of blitzkrieg was the use of fast-moving, highly mobile ground troops.
By employing tanks, motorized infantry, and aircraft in coordinated attacks, the German forces aimed to quickly penetrate enemy lines, disrupt their command structure, and encircle or bypass large defensive positions. This strategy relied on the mobility and speed of ground troops, allowing for rapid advances and preventing the enemy from mounting an effective defense.
This makes option d. mobile ground troops the most appropriate answer, as the success of the blitzkrieg was heavily dependent on having superior mobility and speed on the ground.
For question 10, why it was difficult to write a peace treaty according to the Fourteen Points, the correct answer is:
d. European nations had secret treaties that conflicted with it
To understand this answer, you need to know what the Fourteen Points were. The Fourteen Points refer to a set of principles outlined by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in 1918, towards the end of World War I. These points were intended to serve as the basis for a fair and just peace settlement.
However, it was difficult to write a peace treaty according to the Fourteen Points because many European nations had previously entered into secret treaties and agreements with one another. These secret agreements often conflicted with the principles laid out in the Fourteen Points. As a result, it was challenging to negotiate a treaty that satisfied the various conflicting interests and obligations of the European powers involved in the negotiations. Thus, option d. European nations had secret treaties that conflicted with it is the correct answer.
For question 16, why Great Britain declared war after German troops marched into Belgium, the correct answer is:
c. Germany was violating the 1839 guarantee
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand the historical context. In 1914, at the start of World War I, Belgium was a neutral country. Germany's decision to invade and violate Belgium's neutrality was seen as a direct threat to the security of neighboring countries, including Great Britain.
Great Britain had made a commitment to protect Belgium's neutrality under the Treaty of London in 1839. Therefore, when German troops marched into Belgium, it was viewed as a violation of the guarantee Britain had made to keep Belgium safe. Great Britain declared war on Germany in response to this violation.
This makes option c. Germany was violating the 1839 guarantee the correct answer.
For question 18, the impact of the Boxer Rebellion, the Open Door Policy, and the Treaty of Portsmouth, the correct answer is:
b. contributed to an increase in Chinese trade
To understand this answer, you need to know the significance of these events and policies. The Boxer Rebellion took place in China from 1899 to 1901 and was an uprising against foreign influence and imperialism. The rebellion was ultimately suppressed by a multinational force, leading to increased international interest in China.
The Open Door Policy, introduced by the United States in 1899, called for equal trading rights for all countries in China and advocated against the colonization or partitioning of China by foreign powers. This policy aimed to ensure that all nations could access Chinese markets on equal terms.
The Treaty of Portsmouth, signed in 1905, ended the Russo-Japanese War. The treaty recognized Japan's control over parts of Manchuria and its influence in Korea, contributing to Japan's increasing power in East Asia.
Overall, these events and policies played a role in opening up Chinese trade to various nations. Therefore, option b. contributed to an increase in Chinese trade is the correct answer.
For question 19, the cause of the Great Depression, the correct answer is:
b. falling wages and prices
The Great Depression was a severe economic downturn that occurred in the 1930s. It was characterized by widespread unemployment, reduced industrial output, and a sharp decline in international trade.
To understand this answer, you need to know the economic conditions preceding the Great Depression. Before the crisis, there was a period of economic expansion known as the Roaring Twenties, characterized by rising wages and prices. However, during the Great Depression, there was a significant collapse in economic activity, leading to falling wages and prices.
The drop in wages and prices further deepened the economic crisis, as it reduced both consumer demand and firms' profitability. This created a cycle of reduced spending and investment, leading to further unemployment and economic contraction.
Therefore, option b. falling wages and prices is the correct answer for the cause of the Great Depression.
Damon already corrected number 5 to d.
19. is b.
