Answer:

The Vietnam war was not really opposed in the beginning of the war because it was a different generation of people and those people hated communism and wanted to prevent as much as possible. There was a thing were if the U.S dint fight communism , there would be a domino affect. If china became communist and then north Korea. U.S would have less influence and would basically lose the cold war if they would fight communism. If one country becomes communist then the countries around it will follow.

Explanation:

the war in Vietnam started getting bad looks and Opposition when the war took longer than expected. its like staying in Iraq as america  on large scale war for 20 years. 2.7 million soldiers served in Vietnam war and only 192,00 soldiers served in Iraq war.  People starting hating it when it was an impossible guerrilla warfare. The only way to win it was to kill everyone and bomb everyone and building you see but this would be a war crime.

Was the Korean War an example of American containment during the Cold War? Explain your answer in 2-3 complete sentences.
storchak [24]

Answer:

The temporary division of Korea along the 38th parallel was a success for the policy of containment, as communism did not spread into South Korea. In 1954, SEATO (South East Asian Treaty Organisation) was set up as a copy of NATO. Communism had been prevented in South Korea and the UN was seen as a success. The Korean War was an important development in the Cold War because it was the first time that the two superpowers , the United States and the Soviet Union, had fought a 'proxy war ' in a third country. The proxy war or 'limited war ' strategy would be a feature of other Cold War conflicts, for example the Vietnam War. Cold War” refers to the tension existing between the United States of America and the Soviet Union on the aftermath of World War II, continuing up to the last decade of the 20th Century. The Korean War refers to the 1950 war between North and South Korea.

Explanation:

The Korean War was a proxy war for the Cold War. The West—the United Kingdom and the U.S., supported by the United Nations—supported South Korea, while communist China and the Soviet Union supported North Korea. The Korean War ended three years later, with millions of casualties. Although the war ended where it began, the United States and its allies did succeed in preventing communism from overtaking South Korea. The Korean War made a clear example of what warfare began to look like with new terms of the post WWII era. It demonstrated that wars are now difficult to be in small scale due to new alliances and war terms.

In at least 5 sentences you should address the question and reflect on how it affects/impacts society today.

Answer: The Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 freed African Americans in rebel states, and after the Civil War, the Thirteenth Amendment emancipated all U.S. slaves wherever they were. As a result, the mass of Southern blacks now faced the difficulty Northern blacks had confronted—that of a free people surrounded by many hostile whites. One freedman, Houston Hartsfield Holloway, wrote, “For we colored people did not know how to be free and the white people did not know how to have a free colored person about them.”

Even after the Emancipation Proclamation, two more years of war, service by African American troops, and the defeat of the Confederacy, the nation was still unprepared to deal with the question of full citizenship for its newly freed black population. The Reconstruction implemented by Congress, which lasted from 1866 to 1877, was aimed at reorganizing the Southern states after the Civil War, providing the means for readmitting them into the Union, and defining the means by which whites and blacks could live together in a nonslave society. The South, however, saw Reconstruction as a humiliating, even vengeful imposition and did not welcome it.

During the years after the war, black and white teachers from the North and South, missionary organizations, churches and schools worked tirelessly to give the emancipated population the opportunity to learn. Former slaves of every age took advantage of the opportunity to become literate. Grandfathers and their grandchildren sat together in classrooms seeking to obtain the tools of freedom.

After the Civil War, with the protection of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1866, African Americans enjoyed a period when they were allowed to vote, actively participate in the political process, acquire the land of former owners, seek their own employment, and use public accommodations. Opponents of this progress, however, soon rallied against the former slaves' freedom and began to find means for eroding the gains for which many had shed their blood.
