Answer:
“O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming?”
dawn: early morning, just as the sun begins to rise
hail’d (hailed): to honor something (in this case the flag)
gleaming: a gleam is a flash of light, likely referring to the last bits of light hitting the flag as the sun set
twilight: the last bit of light from the sun fading as it sets
These lines ask listeners if they can see the American flag waving over Fort McHenry as the sun begins to rise. The flag is a symbol of how the Americans held the fort against all odds, so if the flag hadn’t been there, Key would have known the fort was defeated. Key held onto the flag as a symbol of hope as he watched from the British vessel, catching sight of it as the sun set, twelve hours after the British bombardment began.
“Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming?”
broad: wide, referring to the stripes that run across the American flag
perilous: dangerous
ramparts: the embankments that were part of the fort’s defense
gallantly: in a heroic or brave manner
streaming: this describes the flag waving in the wind
O’er (over): above
This bit describes the American flag flying throughout the battle.
“And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there.”
There aren’t that many challenging words in this part, where Key describes how the British bombs occasionally lit up the American flag that was flying throughout the night.
“O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”
spangled: decorated
banner: a long strip of cloth or paper (in this case, a flag)
In this final verse, Key asks one last time if the flag is still there, waving over a country born from revolution and still fighting to maintain its hard-won freedom.

Do you think the United States was justified in dropping
atomic bombs on civilians, not soldiers? Why or why not?
Answer and Explanation:
I don't think it was justified for the US to drop atomic bombs on civilians.
Their thought process was that if they were attack the innocent, then Japan would stop their aggression and call off the war. Only after the second atomic bomb occur did the Japanese surrender.
The civilians, whether they supported the war or not, shouldn't be killed, as they didn't do anything, are possibly manipulated, and are not the ones fighting. They were probably encouraged to support the war, and they also had forcibly given up their food to the soldiers to fight in the war. The Japanese kept on fighting because they didn't care how much of their people died as long as they will win the war.

Answer:
the war against russia aka the invasion of russia
Explanation:
hope this helped
Answer:
the invasion of Russia
Explanation:
Though other campaigns had taken a toll on Napoleon's military, the invasion of Russia is generally considered his largest failure. In 1807, Napoleon forced Russia to sign a treaty against trading with Britain. When Russia refused to continue this treaty in 1812, France invaded. French soldiers suffered from freezing, starvation, and Russian attacks during the invasion. The Russians burned their own cities instead of allowing the French to control them, and Napoleon was forced to end the invasion.

What did Special Treatment mean to the NAZI's and the Jews?
Answer: They called it the "Final Solution"
Explanation:
The term “Final Solution” (Die Enclosing) was a euphemism. Himmler was fully prepared to talk about killing to his immediate subordinates, but much of the Nazi killing machine was shrouded in bureaucratic euphemism. The doctors and administrators charged with murdering ‘incurables’ were the ‘Public Ambulance Service Ltd’ (Gemeinnützige Krankentransport GmbH); the motorized death squads which first went into action in Poland in 1939 were ‘task forces’ (Einsatzgruppen); the massacre of nearly 34,000 Jews in the ravine of Babi-Yar after the capture of Kiev in September 1941 was a ‘major operation’ (Gross-Aktiori). People identified for extermination in official Nazi documents were listed as those to be given ‘special treatment’ (Sonderbehandlung), sometimes abbreviated to ‘SB’, and from roughly mid-1943 the term ‘special lodging’ (Sonderunterbringung) was also used.
