<span>D. Younger workers feared that they would not have sufficient income after they retired.

The other answers aren't accurate. Nothing was stopping anyone from investing their personal funds in the stock market. Birthrates in 2005 (when Bush offered his proposal) were at 14 births for every 1,000 members of the US population. In 1935, when Social Security was first enacted, the birth rate in the US was 18.7 births for every 1,000 members of the population. And 1935 was a low year due to the Great Depression. Birth rates in the 1920s and then again in the 1950s were at 20+ per 1,000 members of the population. Indeed, it's the DECLINE in birth rates that played a role in weakening the funding of the government's Social Security system. More older persons were reaching retirement age, seeking to draw Social Security benefits, and there were less younger workers now paying into the system. Those younger workers feared that before they'd reach retirement age themselves, the Social Security system would become bankrupt.</span>

Which part of the world did the United States intervene most by sending troops in the nineteenth century?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

In the nineteenth century, the United States sent troops into Latin America and South America.

Explanation:

After the Monroe Doctrine, there was a growing political thought in the United States that viewed South American countries as their 'Backyard'

Mexico, Brazil and even newly Independent countries of the time such as Chile and Venezuela were seen as improvised and underdeveloped.

The US political elites held racist views for these countries and assumed that they were poor simply because of an inferior race.

For the next 100 years, the United States would be heavily involved in these countries, either by going directly to war, supporting local rebels or even dictators.

During the French and Indian War, Native Americans sided with both England and France. Different tribes, and sometimes even individuals within the tribes, sided with different sides.

Among the advantages of siding with France was the fact that they were most tribes' main trading partner. As fur traders were often French, the French also had a stronger connection with the tribes. Many French people spoke native American languages, and many married Native women, even joining their tribes from time to time.

On the other hand, the English had a much more turbulent relationship with the Native Americans. However, the English were 20 times larger in number than the French, making them a more strategic partner. They had also promised land and other concessions to Native Americans who fought on their side through the Treaty of Easton.

If I were the leader of a tribe, I would side with the French, as they had a better track record of helping the Native Americans. This in fact is what most Native American tribes did.
