A:The scale of warfare dramatically enlarged during the Revolutionary and subsequent Napoleonic Wars. During Europe's major pre-revolutionary war, the Seven Years' War of 1756–1763, few armies ever numbered more than 200,000 with field forces often numbering less than 30,000. The French innovations of separate corps (allowing a single commander to efficiently command more than the traditional command span of 30,000 men) and living off the land (which allowed field armies to deploy more men without requiring an equal increase in supply arrangements such as depots and supply trains) allowed the French republic to field much larger armies than their opponents. Napoleon ensured during the time of the French republic that separate French field armies operated as a single army under his control, often allowing him to substantially outnumber his opponents. This forced his continental opponents to also increase the size of their armies, moving away from the traditional small, well-drilled Ancien Régime armies of the 18th century to mass conscript armies. B:Were the total supply arrangements considered before the field armies decided the number of more men to be deployed? Answer: respondents

A:Following the start of the Arab Spring in 2011, Gaddafi spoke out in favour of Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, then threatened by the Tunisian Revolution. He suggested that Tunisia's people would be satisfied if Ben Ali introduced a "Jamahiriyah" system there. Fearing domestic protest, Libya's government implemented preventive measures by reducing food prices, purging the army leadership of potential defectors, and releasing several Islamist prisoners. On the 17th of February, 2011, however, large scale protests against the government erupted, proving that these measures were largely in vain. Unlike Tunisia or Egypt, Libya was largely religiously homogeneous and had no strong Islamist movement, but there was widespread dissatisfaction with the corruption and entrenched systems of patronage, while unemployment had reached around 30 per cent. B:Knowing that Gaddafi was violently removed from power not long after the events in this passage, would political commentators likely have had to change their position on the effectiveness of his conciliatory measures, because what worked temporarily ultimately proved to be insufficient?

B:Could you make a reasonable conclusion that the potential defectors and the political prisoners that Gaddafi released themselves became charismatic agitators, once they were free to speak to the public openly?

B:Does the passage make it sound like international efforts were underway to launch a coordinated action on 2-17-11, perhaps due to the date having some symbolic meaning in Islamic society? Answer:
