When Germany started to rebuild after World War I, they concentrated their efforts on these sectors, which ultimately prepared them for World War II:
Explanation
Answer: B - Germany had a history of excellence in engineering and science, especially militaristic, which were the two sectors that received the most attention in their post-WWI rebuilding efforts. They were (and continue to be) renowned for their automobiles and aircrafts, and as WWII approached, they developed missile technologies that were second to none. Germany’s renewed commitment to those fields in the 1930s, along with the rise of political fascism, equipped them to wage war at the end of the decade. In the early years of the conflict, Germany employed armaments and modes of transportation that superseded those of their opponents (including the United States, in most cases). As a result, U.S. development in those fields was spurred by the need to compete with Germany on the battlefield. However, due to their expulsion of Jewish scientists, Germany lost the race to develop the atomic bomb.
