Isn't 35 years the definition for this?

PurpleFistMixer · 03-01-2005 7:50pm

The definition I have is "the average weather conditions over a large area of land calculated over 35 years".

Squirrel · 04-01-2005 6:05pm

Its not definately 35 years so I was advised to say a long period of time, it would probably be better to put e.g: 35 years, after it though

Actually the question was "what is hardening and tempering?" but I think nobody was answering because nobody does metalwork, or something...

Well, whatever it is, I know neither answer. Is something like that likely to come up?

PurpleFistMixer · 14-01-2005 10:35pm

Emigration - leaving your country to live in another.
Immigration - coming in to a country to live in it.

From a writing point of view, that is not a good sentence whatsoever, but it has the desired points included, so meh.

(i) The Anschluss (annexation) of Austria, redrawing of the border with Czechoslovakia and the invasion of Poland led the UK, France and Poland (the original Allies) to the conclusion that Hitler's demand would get greater and greater.

(ii) The UK and France felt threatened by the expansion of fascism, in Germany, Spain, Italy and it's empire and less so by communism.

(iii) The historical legacy (loss of life, cost, disruption, loss of prestige) of WWI - and for France the Franco-Prussian War - led the UK and France to believe Germany needed to be defeated conclusively.
