What was the response of the other world leaders to the actions in the 1930s of the leaders of totalitarian governments? Was it effective?

In the 1930s, the leaders of totalitarian governments became very aggressive. Germany, Japan, and Italy began to take land from other countries. In many instances, the leaders of other countries did very little about these actions.


The leaders of Germany, Japan, and Italy began to take land in the 1930s. In 1931, Japan invaded Manchuria. In 1937, Japan invaded China. In the 1930s, Germany violated the Treaty of Versailles by rebuilding its military. In 1936,...

In the 1930s, the leaders of totalitarian governments became very aggressive. Germany, Japan, and Italy began to take land from other countries. In many instances, the leaders of other countries did very little about these actions.


The leaders of Germany, Japan, and Italy began to take land in the 1930s. In 1931, Japan invaded Manchuria. In 1937, Japan invaded China. In the 1930s, Germany violated the Treaty of Versailles by rebuilding its military. In 1936, Germany moved its military into the Rhineland. This action also violated the Treaty of Versailles. In 1935, Italy invaded Ethiopia. The leaders of other countries didn’t take actions to deal with these acts of aggression.


The leaders of other countries had reasons for not acting. Much of the world was dealing with the Great Depression. The leaders needed to deal with that crisis before dealing with the aggressive actions of the leaders of Germany, Japan, and Italy. There was also a fear that taking actions to stop this aggression could lead to war. Since World War I ended in 1918, the leaders of these countries didn’t want to risk a second world war in the 1930s.


In 1938, Germany annexed Austria. When Hitler announced he wanted to annex the Sudetenland in 1938, the British and French leaders met with him to discuss this request. Hitler wanted to annex this part of Czechoslovakia because many Germans lived here. The leaders of Great Britain and France made an agreement, called the Munich Pact, which appeased Hitler. Hitler got this land in return for making a promise to take no more land. Hitler later broke this promise when he took the rest of Czechoslovakia in 1939. The leaders of Great Britain and France said that if Hitler took any additional land, it would lead to war. After Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany, starting World War II.


The actions of the leaders of other countries weren’t successful in dealing with the aggressive actions of the leaders of Germany, Japan, and Italy. Their inaction didn't prevent war from occurring.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a... Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

In Martel's Life of Pi, how does writing a diary help Pi Patel build on his leadership skills?

At the end of chapter 73, Pi first divulges the fact that he had started a diary after about a week alone at sea. Pi claims that he wrote about "practical stuff" (208) such as what he caught for food, foreseeable problems and solutions, Richard Parker, and reflections about specific events that occurred. In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can...

He can do this by writing down events, problems and solutions, and reflections to look back on when confronted with repeated problems. It can ...

Why did Tybalt attack and kill Mercutio instead of Romeo, who he had originally been targeting?

Though Tybalt's quarrel is with Romeo, he begins the momentous duel in Act 3 by fighting with and killing Mercutio instead. Tybalt ultimately attacks Mercutio because the garrulous and hot-headed character insults Tybalt and goads him into a duel to protect Romeo's honor. From the beginning of the encounter in Act 3, Scene 1, it's clear that Mercutio is itching for a fight. For instance, when Tybalt signals that he wants to talk to Mercutio...
