Question 8 • World History

A “blitz” is different from a “blitzkrieg” because only a “blitz”

Answer
A
destroys large portions of the country.
B
targets civilians.
C
takes place at great speed.
D
relies exclusively on air power.

Explanation

A blitz is a sustained bombing campaign, often aimed at civilian areas, as in the German bombing of British cities during World War II. A blitzkrieg is a fast-moving military strategy combining air and ground forces to defeat an enemy quickly; speed is central to both terms, so it does not distinguish a blitz from a blitzkrieg. The correct choice is “targets civilians.”
