World Studies Questions

Battle of Stalingrad:
1: I can't get onto this page.
2: Explain why Hitler would react in the way shown after signing a Non-Aggression Pact with Stalin? Because he said "I got them" meaning he was in complete controll of Germany, and could do whatever he wanted to the people of Germany.
3: Explain the significance of propaganda in this battle, using examples from the posters. The significance of these posters are saying that you should kill the fascists and that the Germans are a beast like population and should be destroyed.
4: What do the extremes of the war reveal about what it takes to win a total war? You have to stand your ground and do what you have to do to not fail the war, also haveing nice guns and weapons maybe snippers will help. Some people resorted to canablism and freezing to death during the war.
5: How does the story of Vasily Zaitsev relate to the war in Iraq? Because he was told to eliminate one enemy at a time sort of like people are doing now over in iraq. He also was a soldier and went by what he was learned as a child no special traing was required.
6:In times of crisis, sometimes heroic figures emerge. Which figure emerged in a similar way to Vasily after the terrorist attacks of 9/11? A person that i think emerged would be George Bush because he came and took ignishitive and helped us with the war and made a quick move to get iraq back, though i think we shouldn't be their now. So the hero would depend on the person this question would be directed to.
12:Does the Soviet reaction to victory seem reasonable to you? (Be specific) I can't get on this page without a password.
