History

The release of documents known as the Pentagon Papers proved that the government had misled the public. The withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam raised even more questions about whether the war had been unjustified. Then the Watergate scandal showed that corruption could affect even the nation's top office.

<u>Pentagon Papers :</u>

Papers that contain a history of the U.S. role in Indochina from World War II until May 1968 and that were commissioned in 1967 by U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. They were turned over (without authorization) to The New York Times by Daniel Ellsberg, a senior research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for International Studies.

The 47-volume history, consisting of approximately 3,000 pages of narrative and 4,000 pages of appended documents, took 18 months to complete. Ellsberg, who worked on the project, had been an ardent early supporter of the U.S. role in Indochina but, by the project’s end, had become seriously opposed to U.S. involvement. He felt compelled to reveal the nature of U.S. participation and leaked major portions of the papers to the press.

Was it an advantage or disadvantage to allow men,women, and children to colonize Plymouth?
Trava [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

It was an advantage for men, women, and children.

The people who founded the colony of Plymouth, in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, were known as Pilgrims. They belonged to the English Separatist Church that had many differences with the Church of England. This created a problem for them. They were being persecuted and they decided to leave England to find a new place to safely grow their children and can practice their strict religious teachings.  

That is why they traveled on the Mayflower ship to the North American coasts. When they arrived at North America in 1620, they had to endure harsh weather conditions and make friends with the Native America Indians to establish the firsts English colony in Massachusets. In the end, it represented an advantage for Pilgrims and they started a new life there.

What did the gulf of tonkin resolution do in relation to the vietnam war?
Effectus [21]
The gulf of tonkin gave the President of the United States (Lyndon B. Johnson) the right to use any military force that was deemed conventional without the declaration of war by Congress in Southeast Asia and to assist any army, whether legitimate or not. This started the rapid escalation from the Americans in the Vietnam War and their rapid warfare against North Vietnam.
