How prepared were the Allies for the German attack against their lines in the Ardennes (known as the Battle of the Bulge)?

They were not well prepared, which can be best seen from the fact that the Allies were surprised by the German attack on December 16th, 1944.

Explanation:

As the Allied forces were progressing well after D-Day they didn't expect large counter offensive of German troops. Still, Germans wanted to make last great effort and to divide Allied troops. At the beginning they managed to surprise Allied troops, but as the time passed Allies prevailed and defeated Germans.

for the 2 countries u can do china and america because america has a democratic government while china has a communist government.

a democracy is a government run by the people either by directly voting or indirectly by electing representatives. an oligarchy is a government run by a few or a small group of people. a democracy and oligarchy are similar because both in an oligarchy and an indirect democracy, a small group of induvial determine the laws for a large group of people they are different because in an oligarchy it is easier to control and they do not have to answer to a large number of people in the country, unlike a democracy where they do have to answer to a large number of people an county that is a democracy would be the united states. a country that is an oligarchy would be the china.
