History

de Gaulle wrote a book in the early 30's about mobile warfare. The germans read it and used it for blitzkrieg. His ideas were not popular with the higher ups, but during the battle of France he was given one French Armored Division, and he was able to attack and drive back the Germans.

Being also a politician, he was asked to join the new French Government. After the surrender, de Gaulle flew to Britain with one small suitcase and the honor of France. From there he organized the Free French. He managed to tick off just about everyone at one time or another as he lobbied for France. de Gualle was a conservative, while most of the French resistance and Free French were socialists.

After the war, the French created the fourth republic, with all the problems of the third. de Gualle went into retirement, but also started organizing his own party, the Gaulists. In the 50's the problems with Algerian independence caused a constitutional crisis. de Gaul led the effort for a new constitution with a strong presidency, and served as the first president of the 5th republic.

So de Gaulle is a father of his country, like George Washington. Except nobody wanted to run up to George and kick him in the shins, but most everyone wanted to do that to de Gaulle at one time or other.

Why did some people in China consider Mao Zedong a despot?
vladimir1956 [14]

The correct answer is - A) the Chines Communist Party harassed and tortured people who were against Mao's ideas.

Mao Zedong, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, was considered by many people in China as a despot, and they most certainly had lots of justified reasons for that.

Mao was a tyrant, and he was extreme towards anyone that he considered as a threat to himself or the communist ideology. He did not thought twice before sending people to harass, torture, imprison, and murder people that were not seen fondly by him.

It also might have something to do with the fact that from his politics, around 20 million people died during his reign, which make him as one of the worst leaders in the human history.

The fact that it took 84 different tasks and the same number of people to build a ford car was an example of the "division of labor" and the "assembly line" system, since this helped ensure that each person was skilled at their job.

In what ways do temperance, health reforms, and phrenology offer reflections on the changes in the United States before the Civi
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reformers targeted vices that corrupted the physical body and community: The human and the public spirit. For some, alcohol seemed to be the most devastating and general. So, in those years before the Civil War, the United States appeared to be the democracy of drunkenness to more. To combat the public drug abuse issue, reformers produced a host of temperance organizations that first directed the middle and upper classes, and so the working classes. Thanks to Sylvester Graham and other health reformers, exercising and warm air, combined with a high diet, turned into trendy. Phrenologists concentrated on uncovering the mysteries of knowledge and personality. In the fast-paced world, phrenology provided the possibility of experiencing other human characteristics.
