Question

question 1-2
this diagram describes events leading up to world war ii.
diagram with boxes: german troops reoccupy the rhineland, germany annexes austria, germany reoccupies czechoslovakia,?
which 1939 action correctly replaces the question mark in this cause-and-effect diagram?
○ germany and france form an alliance to invade norway
○ germany launches an attack on u.s. islands in the pacific
○ german forces invade poland marking the start of world war ii

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: Germany and France were not allies; France was an opponent of Germany, so this is incorrect.
2. Analyze Option 2: Germany attacking U.S. islands in the Pacific (like Pearl Harbor - but by Japan) is wrong; also, 1939 Germany didn't attack U.S. Pacific islands.
3. Analyze Option 3: In 1939, Germany invaded Poland, which triggered the start of World War II. The previous events (remilitarizing Rhineland, annexing Austria, occupying Czechoslovakia) were Germany's expansionist moves leading to invading Poland.

Answer:

German forces invade Poland marking the start of World War II
