he Blitzkrieg was so effective because it was "designed to create disorganization among enemy forces through the use of mobile forces and locally concentrated firepower" . This allowed the Germans to have the upper hand when attacking and often was the reason for their success.

Answer from: avisconti571

The Blitzkrieg tactic was a tactic developed by the Germans but more specifically by Hanz Guderian. He produced a book, Achtung Panzer. He said, Strike hard, strike quickly, and do not disperse your forces. Hence the name, Blitzkrieg, which means, lightning war. Blitzkrieg tactics definitely played a very big part in the defeat of Germany's enemies. The Germans definitely had superior air power with their Ju-87 Stuka dive bombers. The Luftwaffe did rule the skies with majority in numbers, and more effective aircraft. On the ground however, it was a different matter. The Panzers (German tanks) were outnumbered by the British and French tanks. The tactic in which they deployed made them superior. The British and French spread their tanks out. They gave each infantry platoon a certain number of tanks. Maybe a pair, maybe a few more but the basic message is that their tanks were more or less independent and fought alongside infantry. The difference with the German tanks, was that they moved in divisions. They had Panzer armoured divisions of about three or four hundred tanks which were much more powerful than an infantry section with a few tanks. The massing of tanks was also a part of Blitzkrieg and that helped immensely. The object of surprise played a major role in the war. Poland had more men and if they knew the Germans were coming, Germany still would have won but they would have suffered a great deal more of losses. Blitzkrieg was an ingenious war tactic yet it wasn't the only reason for which Germany defeated its enemies. Germany also tactfully new where to attack and knew the areas where they would not be expected to come through. The maginot line was a series of really strong forces along the French-German border. It was 93 miles long but it was 250 miles short of the sea. The French began building extensions but they weren't finished in time. The French had 400,000 men on the Maginot line and both the French and the Germans knew that attacking the Maginot line would be suicidal to attack. The Allies predicted that the Germans would attack from northern Belgium. They thought this because southern Belgian was home to the Ardennes, a hilly region covered in woodland.The Allies predicted that if the Germans attacked from there, and a big IF at that, then it would take them 2 weeks at least to break through the dense woods and even then only in small numbers.Well, the Germans attacked from there and the French only had 100,000 unequipped, badly trained men, there.The Germans broke through the hills in 3 days, and they broke through by the hundreds of thousands 1800 Panzers broke through and infantry sections came through by the thousands.

Answer from: Quest

because everyone tends to get their feelings hurt if they don't agree with something someone is doing and vice versa. it's a major issue that needs to be dealt with, especially in the christian society. everyone thinks that christians hate gay people, because it is a sin, and christians "just hate everyone who sins and every one is going to hell for sinning"(saying that all in a sarcastic tone but i'm just going to go ahead and tell you why everything with that type of view on christians is wrong.

#1. christians do not hate gay people. and if they do, then that is their own personal problem. christians are not supposed to hate anyone. if you hate a neighbor (or any person basically), then that is as if you are hating jesus.

#2. being gay is in fact a sin according to the holy bible. it is in genesis. and no, the fact that it is a sin, does not mean that god hates you. he is grieved that a person is sinning against his word, but he still loves that person. in fact, christians are supposed to love everyone. we are supposed to love our enemies, but hate the sin they are doing. we love you and respect you, but we do not agree with every decision you make, is basically what i'm trying to say.

hope this you ! (:

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
