Why did eisenhower favor a buildup of nuclear over conventional

History
1 answer:
Rashid [163]4 years ago
7 0
In moving from military general in the field to commander in chief in the White House, Dwight Eisenhower's approach to war changed.  As a five-star general in the US army, serving as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe during World War II, his role had been to win battles on the ground.  But as President of the United States during the Cold War, his goal was to prevent war from coming.  He was most interested in deterring the other side from wanting to begin a war.  He also faced reductions in resources allocated for national defense in the post-war days.  So the most cost-efficient way to build up a strong deterrent to war was to build up America's nuclear arsenal.  Keeping war from happening was preferred to fighting another horribly bloody war with conventional weapons.

Which one of the following statements is NOT true of the slave trade in the 17th
Naya [18.7K]

The false statement in these groups of answer options is that the British introduced slave trade in the 17th century Atlantic world.

This is false because the British did not introduce the trade. The Portuguese were actually the ones who introduced it.

As far back as the 16th century, the Portuguese slave traders were the ones that bought the first slaves from the Western part of Africa and they transported the slaves to Brazil. Other European countries only joined in after them.

What area of Europe was under Charlemagne's Empire?
KIM [24]
Charlemagne (/ˈʃɑːrləmeɪn/) or Charles the Great[a] (German: Karl der Große, Italian: Carlo Magno/Carlomagno; 2 April 742[1][b] – 28 January 814), numbered Charles I, was King of the Franks from 768, King of the Lombards from 774, and Holy Roman Emperor from 800. He united much of western and central Europe during the Early Middle Ages. He was the first recognised emperor to rule from western Europe since the fall of the Western Roman Empire three centuries earlier.[2] The expanded Frankish state that Charlemagne founded is called the Carolingian Empire. He was later canonized by Antipope Paschal III.

Charlemagne was the eldest son of Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon, born before their canonical marriage.[3] He became king in 768 following his father's death, initially as co-ruler with his brother Carloman I. Carloman's sudden death in December 771 under unexplained circumstances left Charlemagne as the sole ruler of the Frankish Kingdom.[4] He continued his father's policy towards the papacy and became its protector, removing the Lombards from power in northern Italy and leading an incursion into Muslim Spain. He campaigned against the Saxons to his east, Christianizing them upon penalty of death and leading to events such as the Massacre of Verden. He reached the height of his power in 800 when he was crowned "Emperor of the Romans" by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day at Rome's Old St. Peter's Basilica.
