What story is being told in the first verse of the
National Anthem?
Answer:
“O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming?”
dawn: early morning, just as the sun begins to rise
hail’d (hailed): to honor something (in this case the flag)
gleaming: a gleam is a flash of light, likely referring to the last bits of light hitting the flag as the sun set
twilight: the last bit of light from the sun fading as it sets
These lines ask listeners if they can see the American flag waving over Fort McHenry as the sun begins to rise. The flag is a symbol of how the Americans held the fort against all odds, so if the flag hadn’t been there, Key would have known the fort was defeated. Key held onto the flag as a symbol of hope as he watched from the British vessel, catching sight of it as the sun set, twelve hours after the British bombardment began.
“Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming?”
broad: wide, referring to the stripes that run across the American flag
perilous: dangerous
ramparts: the embankments that were part of the fort’s defense
gallantly: in a heroic or brave manner
streaming: this describes the flag waving in the wind
O’er (over): above
This bit describes the American flag flying throughout the battle.
“And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there.”
There aren’t that many challenging words in this part, where Key describes how the British bombs occasionally lit up the American flag that was flying throughout the night.
“O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”
spangled: decorated
banner: a long strip of cloth or paper (in this case, a flag)
In this final verse, Key asks one last time if the flag is still there, waving over a country born from revolution and still fighting to maintain its hard-won freedom.
Have a good day!

Answer:
the war against russia aka the invasion of russia
Explanation:
hope this helped
Answer:
the invasion of Russia
Explanation:
Though other campaigns had taken a toll on Napoleon's military, the invasion of Russia is generally considered his largest failure. In 1807, Napoleon forced Russia to sign a treaty against trading with Britain. When Russia refused to continue this treaty in 1812, France invaded. French soldiers suffered from freezing, starvation, and Russian attacks during the invasion. The Russians burned their own cities instead of allowing the French to control them, and Napoleon was forced to end the invasion.

Explain what would happen if apple trees were unable to attract pollinators like bees.
Answer:
Like all fruit trees, apples need to be pollinated if they are to set fruit. This involves the transfer of pollen from the stamen (the male part of the flower) to the stigma (the female part). Pollinating insects such as bees work hard at this job, which is one reason why it’s so important to plant pollinator-attracting flowers in among our crops – to keep them on side and coming back! Wind will also help to pollinate apple blossom.

What are the outcomes of European imperialism?Imperialism had a negative impact on the colonies. Native culture and industries were decimated under alien domination. Local artisan industries were wiped out by imported items.

Three major elements drove Europe's imperialist thrust into Africa: economic, political, and social. It arose in the nineteenth century in response to the collapse of the slave trade's profitability, its prohibition and repression, and the rise of the European capitalist Industrial Revolution.

What consequence did the Depression have on German politics?
The German Empire became the Weimar Republic after the disaster of World War One, as Germany embraced democracy. However, economic crisis led to Hitler’s dictatorship, and ultimately to World War Two. In 1929 as the Wall Street Crash led to a worldwide depression. Germany suffered more than any other nation as a result of the recall of US loans, which caused its economy to collapse. Unemployment rocketed, poverty soared and Germans became desperate. This led to a chain of events that ended in the destruction of German democracy: With the government unable to win a majority in the Reichstag, laws could only be passed by presidential decree. As a result, not enough action was taken to tackle the economic and social consequences of the Depression and Germans increasingly began to look to the political extremes for answers.
