Why did Russia and Britain ultimately depose Reza Shah in 1941?
Because of his close relationship with Nazi Germany
What were the names of both sides of the Russian civil war?
The two sides were referred to as the Red Army (Bolsheviks and their revolutionary supporters) and the White Army ( nonrevolutionaries who either wanted the Tsar restored to the throne or depose Lenin and the Bolsheviks. In addition to the Reds and Whites there were the Greens, who were anarchists.
Why was the iron curtain named like that?
The basis behind the "Iron Curtain" can actually be pinned on a speech by Winston Churchill. Considered a jarring and startling speech at the time, the Iron Curtain was a two-fold metaphor. The Soviet Union, a Communist state, had outright occupied an enormous section of the whole of Europe; virtually everything east of Berlin, down to around Turkey and Greece, and the borders of Mongolia and China, were occupied by a regime whose iron handed dictatorship had as much notoriety as the man the Allies just fought to depose: Adolf Hitler. The "Iron Curtain" was named for Stalin's iron handed strategy [Stalin's namesake comes from the Georgian word for steel, or rather the prepositional phrase 'of-steel']. It also was named so for its foreboding aspect, as the Soviet Union's swath across the whole of Europe was with armored columns. The Soviet Union had immense industrial power, and the Soviet's pride in its civilian "army" of industrial workers, made the Iron Curtain analogy appropriate. The "Iron Curtain" in whole, was an analogy by Winston Churchill, which stuck with the West and the civic populace, as it identified their opponent in terms they comprehended well: stark, overbearing, and tyrannical people who sought to depose 'their' freedom: an iron curtain. It made a great label and thus the name was kept.
What caused Hitler to kill himself?
I suppose the most direct cause was the fear of being captured by the Russians. In retrospect the defeat, total defeat of Germany seems to be plainly obvious once the D Day landings are securely ashore in Normandy. The Russian advances in the East are on such a broad front that the scope for strategic manoevre is unstoppable: The Germans have run out of materials & manpower to maintain the offensive, despite Arnhem & The Battle of the Bulge. It is suggested the Allied demand for unconditional surrender delays the end of the war in Europe, making it more difficult to depose Hitler before he takes his own life.
Why was it not necessary for the US to drop the atomic bomb?
Yes!! It was nessasary because if we did not, they would not have surrendered!!!! We ended the war. It FORCED Japan to surrender due to all the deaths and war cost that would have had to be payed if any more was damaged. Yes!! It was nessasary because if we did not, they would not have surrendered!!!! We ended the war. It FORCED Japan to surrender due to all the deaths and war cost that would have had to be payed if any more was damaged. It was entirely unnecessary. Japan was ready to surrender, but we were pushing them to surrender unconditionally. They thought that meant we wanted to depose their emperor, whom they believed was a descendent of their sun goddess, and they could not let that happen. If we had just let them have that condition, we would not have "had" to commit the unspeakable horrors that took place. Of course it was neccesary. Basically, a land invasion would've cost waaay more lives than the nuclear bombs did. So all of you who thinks US is a scumbag country, fawk off. They did just the right thing. The japs were warned before both bombs. They were told to surrender, and they didn't. So they got it the hard way, in the least devastating one.
