The goal of Stalin's scorched earth policy was
1. Forcing the Finns to surrender quickly
2. destroying anything of use to the Germans
3. forcing the French to surrender
4. punishing his political opponents
Answer:
A scorched-earth policy is a military strategy that aims to destroy anything that might be useful to the enemy. Any assets that could be used by the enemy may be targeted, which usually includes obvious weapons, transport vehicles, communication sites, and industrial resources. However, anything useful to the advancing enemy may be targeted, including food stores and agricultural areas, water sources, and even the local people themselves, though the last has been banned under the 1977 Geneva Conventions.
Kuwaiti oil fires set by retreating Iraqi forces in 1991
The practice can be carried out by the military in enemy territory or in its own home territory while it is being invaded. It may overlap with, but is not the same as, punitive destruction of the enemy's resources, which is usually done as part of political strategy, rather than operational strategy.
Notable historic examples of scorched-earth tactics include William Tecumseh Sherman's March to the Sea in the American Civil War, Kit Carson's subjugation of the American Navajo Indians, Lord Kitchener's advance against the Boers, and the setting of fire of 605 to 732 oil wells by retreating Iraqi military forces in the Gulf War. Also notable were the Russian army's strategies during the failed Swedish invasion of Russia, the failed Napoleonic invasion of Russia, the initial Soviet retreat commanded by Joseph Stalin during the German Army's invasion during the Second World War, and Nazi Germany's retreat on the Eastern Front.
The concept of scorched earth is sometimes applied figuratively to the business world in which a firm facing a takeover attempts to make itself less valuable by selling off its assets.
Answer:
2
Explanation:
The answer will be B(2) because a scorched-earth policy is a military strategy that aims to destroy anything that might be useful to the enemy.

How did the Trireme expand the Greek?
Explanation: The trireme was no run-of-the-mill ship. It was one of the most effective warships of the ancient world and the Greeks perfected this design 2,500 years ago. The design of the trireme was su superior and it made the Greeks the deadliest force on the seas. With a standard length of around 118 feet, standing 21 feet high and just 12 feet wide, it was a sleek, fast war machine. It was a ramming ship, equivalent to the modern-day torpedo as it had a copper ram that would punch holes in enemy ships and sink them. To be effective though, it needed speed and it accomplished this by having 170 rowers, 85 a side. These were split into three levels, one above the other. This is why it's called a trireme which means "triple rowed." The best example to show the effectiveness of the trireme can be found at the Battle of Salamis. The Greek ships were outnumbered by their Persian enemies up to three to one, and they would have surely lost if it wasn't for the power of the awesome trireme.The Greeks won the battle and the war and many people see this as the first victory of democracy over tyranny. It led to a period of Greek cultural growth and the principles of Western society were formed.

What do you know about the President of the United States?As the nation's head of state and government, the president of the United States (POTUS) is a powerful position. As commander-in-chief of the American armed forces, the president oversees the executive branch of the federal government.
Since George Washington, the first president, took office in 1789, the presidency has significantly increased in power. Although the scope of the presidency has fluctuated over time, it has become increasingly important to American politics since the turn of the 20th century, with Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration marking a significant increase.
Since he is the head of the last remaining superpower, the president is currently regarded as one of the most important political personalities in the world.
Hence, option (B) is accurate.

Name 1 reason why the United States could not immediately get involved
in stopping Hitler
Answer
they wanted to remain nuetral
Explanation:
Answer:
Isolationists believed that World War II was ultimately a dispute between foreign nations and that the United States had no good reason to get involved. The best policy, they claimed, was for the United States to build up its own defenses and avoid antagonizing either side. Also, the US had just gotten out of the Great Depression, and after seeing the effects of it, and of World War I, the US was very skeptical about joining its allies of Britain and France. The US continued to however assist and aid there allies with war bonds, and supplies, and then eventually joining the war after the Japanese attacked Peral Harbor.

Was it possible for the US to definitively win the Vietnam war?
Answer:
When talking about the Vietnam War, it is necessary to make a distinction between the military results and the social impact of the conflict. Thus, in 1973, when the Vietnam War came to an end with an American defeat, things were going relatively well for the United States in the military field. In other words, several victories had been obtained in specific battles, although the guerrilla war continued to cause several headaches for the American soldiers. Therefore, the war was ended rather by antiwar social pressure that saw the conflict as a meaningless conflict in which America had no genuine interest and in which the lives of young Americans had no reason to be risked. Therefore, if it had not given in to social pressure, most likely America would have ended up winning the war.
