As
Hi
Does "as" mean "because"?
"The Holocaust drenched the soil of Europe with Jewish blood, as the Nazis, often with the cooperation of the local population."
Top answer
There is something wrong there. " Or something along those lines. "As" would not mean "because" in that case—more like "when".

There is something wrong there. I suspect that the rest of the second clause has been left off: "The Holocaust drenched the soil of Europe with Jewish blood, as the *****, often with the cooperation of the local population, put their "Final Solution" into effect." Or something along those lines. "As" would not mean "because" in that case—more like "when".
