Answer:  B) greatly increasing military spending.

Explanation: When politicians claimed there was a "bomber gap" between the Soviets and the United States, the effect was that Congress began greatly increasing military spending. This was to narrow that gap so the U.S. would not fall behind the USSR. It turns out, though, such a gap never existed.

True or False: The colonists were outraged with the Townshend Acts
Amanda [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Townshend Acts were a series of measures, passed by the British Parliament in 1767, that taxed goods imported to the American colonies. But American colonists, who had no representation in Parliament, saw the Acts as an abuse of power. The British sent troops to America to enforce the unpopular new laws, further heightening tensions between Great Britain and the American colonies in the run-up to the American Revolutionary War.
