A. was intended to insure the quick deteat of Germany
B. violated the Schliefen Plan

During this time, the British wanted no part of the First world war.

Germany couldn't breach the French Maginot line. So if going through, under, or over wasn't effective, why not go around it? This operation was called the Schlieffen Plan. This was pretty much attacking Belgium and going through Belgium to France.

Britain was allies with Belgium and didn't really like their allies being curve stomped by German troops.

1). Why did the Fugitive Slave Act make abolitionists & people in the North "angrier than ever"?

Answers

Answer:

It required that all escaped slaves, upon capture, be returned to the slaver and that officials and citizens of free states had to cooperate.

Explanation:

Answer:

Before the fugitive slave act, slaves in the South could (not very easily) possibly make it to the Northern states where slavery was outlawed, and live the rest of their lives as free people. But, the fugitive slave act (passed in 1850) required that even if slaves were able to escape to the North, they were still slaves, and had to be sent back to their owners in the South. It put the responsibility on the federal government to find and return slaves. So the act further engrained slavery into America's laws, which was a turning point leading to the Civil War, and made Northern abilitionists very angry, as it was extending the practice of slavery rather than trying to bring it to an end. Hope this helps.
