Background
Although Adolf Hitler had congratulated himself on the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact of 1939 as a matter of expediency, anti-Bolshevism had remained his most profound emotional conviction as World War II entered its second year. Following the Soviet occupation of the Baltic states and of Bessarabia and northern Bukovina in June 1940, which put Soviet forces in proximity to the Romanian oil fields on which Germany depended, Hitler’s long-standing interest in overthrowing the Soviet regime was heightened. He became acutely suspicious of the intentions of the Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin, and he began to feel that he could not afford to wait to complete the subjugation of western Europe, as he had originally planned, before dealing with the Soviet Union.
Hitler and his generals had originally scheduled the invasion of the U.S.S.R. for mid-May 1941, but the unforeseen necessity of invading Yugoslavia and Greece in April of that year forced them to postpone the Soviet campaign to late June. The swiftness of Hitler’s Balkan victories enabled him to keep to this revised timetable, but the five weeks’ delay shortened the time for carrying out the invasion of the U.S.S.R. and was to prove the more serious because in 1941 the Russian winter would arrive earlier than usual. Nevertheless, Hitler and the heads of the Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH, or German Army High Command)—namely, the army commander in chief, Walther von Brauchitsch, and the army general staff chief, Franz Halder—were convinced that the Red Army could be defeated in two or three months and that by the end of October the Germans would have conquered the whole European part of Russia and Ukraine west of a line stretching from Arkhangelsk (Archangel) to Astrakhan. The invasion of the Soviet Union was originally given the code name Operation Fritz, but as preparations began, Hitler renamed it Operation Barbarossa, after Holy Roman emperor Frederick Barbarossa (reigned 1152–90), who sought to establish German predominance in Europe.
For the campaign against the Soviet Union, the Germans allotted almost 150 divisions containing a total of about three million men. Among those units were 19 panzer divisions, and in total the Barbarossa force had about 3,000 tanks, 7,000 artillery pieces, and 2,500 aircraft. It was in effect the largest and most powerful invasion force in human history. The Germans’ strength was further increased by more than 30 divisions of Finnish and Romanian troops.

Should the United States engaged in imperialism ?
Answer:
No, that would go against the freedoms and liberty of other nations.
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
The US has significant effects on other countries in terms of pop culture, technology, business practices, and more. However, the gravity of how much influence America has on other governments is evident in American Imperialism, which is the military, economic, and cultural influence of the US on other lands, usually going hand-in-hand with expansion on a grand scale into other territories.
The burning question is, “Does the constitution follow the flag?” and the answer is a resounding no. When they were conquered, the American territories did not enjoy the same rights that Americans in the mainland did. The US government operated on the idea that the peoples of these newly acquired lands were inferior to Americans, and thus not capable of holding the responsibilities of a mainland American citizen.
There are many pros and cons to American imperialism. One positive for the US is that it expands territories. The more territories you have, the greater power you have. It gives access to many resources, and presently the US dominates over Guam, Puerto Rico, Samoa, The Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. Imperialism also gives a boost to the economy, not just for the United States who uses the resources for trade, but for the territory itself. The United States brings technology, industries, government policies, and privileges American citizens possess to these territories. Also, the US has many military bases around the world, and in return the US aids these territories with protection.
However, there are many cons that follow American imperialism. American imperialism kills the tradition of the indigenous peoples, who lose their identity and tradition. In many cases, the territories’ own people grow to discriminate against what is local and originally of their own native culture.
Additionally, it can be argued that the possession of territories is not necessary and perhaps even counterintuitive, as the US spends so much money on bases scattered around the world and helping the economy of those islands. They are expensive to keep, and the US is already quite expansive.
American people talk so much about freedom and have fought a war over it, but the American territories don’t even have full freedom. The United States controls the islands and they cannot act on their own. The people there are expected to follow American culture or risk discrimination on social and economic playing fields.
How do you feel about American Imperialism?

Answer:
Grandfather clauses
Explanation:
The grandfather clause kept the African Americans from nominating candidates for office.
What is the grandfather clause?The grandfather clause or the legacy clause can be defined as the law that states that the old rules will apply in some existing situations while the new rules framed will apply in all future cases.
In the case of African Americans, they were denied to nominate the candidates for office. The clause further stated that the African Americans who enjoyed the right to vote prior to 1867, or their lineal descendants, would be exempt in the future from educational, property, or tax requirements for voting.
Therefore the correct option is D.

Explanation:
did women in shakespeare england have the sane rughts as wimen in other parts of the world.
Answer:
Women
In Elizabethan times women belonged to their fathers (or their brothers if their father died), and then to their husbands. Women could not own property of their own. This is one of the reasons Queen Elizabeth never married – she did not want to give up her power to a man.
The only exceptions were widows – women whose husbands had died. A widow was in charge of her own life and property, but would be likely to marry again to find someone to protect her and to be the legal guardian to her children.
Women were allowed to marry from the age of 12 in Shakespeare’s time, but often only women from wealthy families would marry so young. In the play Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is 13, but her mother says by that age she was already married with a child. Many marriages were arranged for the good of the family and small children might be ‘betrothed’ to each other in order to join the families together before they were old enough to get married. Many women did not marry until their mid-20s. Men had to be able to support a household when they married.
Women were not allowed on the stage. All the female parts in plays at the time were played by boys whose voices hadn’t broken yet – the apprentices. In several of the plays the female characters disguise themselves as men – so the audience would have seen a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man. This happens in Twelfth Night, As You Like It and The Merchant of Venice.

Restate.
It is true that Nationalism is the desire of one country to put its interest first.
Answer
The Christmas Truce went against that because in the winter of 1914, soldiers from Great Britain, France, and Germany, put a halt to World War hostilities during Christmas. Indeed it was a truce.
Cite.
Historians document that in those Christmas days of 1914, soldiers from the above-mentioned nations exchanged food, had decent conversations, and some souvenirs.
Explain
The ceasefires along the Western Front of WWI in that specific period of time was the result of the goodwill of the soldiers who considered that Christmas was a time to put aside differences, and decided to spend some moments of peace and getting along with each other. It is said that they even play soccer matches.
That is why nationalistic interests were forgotten during those unforgettable days of peace.

How did the Catholic Church respond to corruption and criticisms? Choose three correct answers.
by setting up the Council of Trent
by increasing the wealth of the clergy
by founding new religious orders
by accepting Protestant teachings
by regulating the training of priests
Answer:
a c e :)
Explanation:
I cant explain but i got it wrong and it showed me the right answers yknow
By setting up the Council of Trent, by founding new religious orders and by regulating the training of priests did the Catholic Church respond to corruption and criticisms. Hence, option A, C and E are correct.
What were the criticisms of the Catholic Church?The Catholic Church has also been under fire for its doctrine opposing the ordination of women to the clergy, as well as for claims of financial fraud and corruption, as well as for how it handles cases of sexual abuse.
In response to the Protestant challenge, the Roman Catholic Church rid itself of the abuses and ambiguities that had fostered rebellion before starting, with varying degrees of success, to recapture the schismatic branches of Western Christianity.
Luther had created a pattern of scholarship and consideration, and this was reflected in the Roman Church's initial response to his theses. Rome sent prominent clerics and theologians to debate Luther in disputations and give him the chance to change his mind or appease the church.
Thus, option A, C and E are correct.
