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.

Explain whether eugenics can be supported as a science .
First of all, if you don't know already, eugenics was Developed largely by Sir Francis Galton as a method of "improving" the human race. Now can it be classified as a type of science? The answer is no. According to Edwin Black, "Eugenics is often deemed a pseudoscience because what is defined as a genetic improvement of the desired trait is a cultural choice rather than a matter that can be determined through objective scientific inquiry."

Explanation:
In your own words, describe the similarities and differences between the Federalist Party and the Democratic-Republicans. How were they similar? How were they different? How do these differences predict the future conflict between the North and South?
Answer:
One difference is that the Federalist Party wanted to create stronger ties with the British while the Democratic-Republicans wanted to create stronger ties with the French. The Democratic-Republicans wanted to provide more economic support for the working class (South) and the Federalists wanted to provide more economic support for industry and manufacturing (North).
A similarity is that they both wanted some type of Republic, while they also believed they were doing the best for their nation. I predict that the future conflict between the North and South will have to do with with wanting to expand their land.

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.

How can you use this Document E to argue that Alexander was great? *
Answer:
Alexander was “great” because he easily conquered a lot of land and established prominent societies, like Alexandria.
Alexander wasn’t “great” because he was egotistical in naming a city after him and conquering land just for greed.
Alexander was “great” because he was smart enough to cross the river and use Porus’ own elephants against him.
Alexander was not “great” because he tricked a ruler and killed many men in war only because he was greedy and wanted more land.
Alexander was most likely very religious, and it seems that in Ancient Greek anyone seeking refuge in a temple should be shown mercy. Also, if Alexander had killed everyone in the city than there would have been no point in conquering the city except for land.
