Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago
4 0
Oligarchy is the political system that is run by a group of noble families or wealthy members of a society. The term Oligarchy was first used by the great Aristotle for describing the powers that were held by a very small and highly privileged group. These people often misused their powers and treated the people under their rule very poorly and also used them to satisfy their selfish needs. It has been commonly seen that the rulers that believed in Oligarchy actually selected people on herediterary basis and not based on merit.

The Vietnam War maintained support by all Americans for the entirety of the war.<br> True<br> False
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The U.S. entered into the Vietnam War in their fight to stop the spread of communism. China had close ties with communist North Vietnam and were afraid that communism would spread to the South, so the U.S. entered and provided support to the South Vietnamese.

Many Americans did not support the war on moral grounds, but the primarily reason was because people felt the war was an entanglement in a foreign civil war. Furthermore, they felt the war had no clear objective or endgame and that it was a waste of money, resources, and American lives. The war lasted twenty years, and resulted in America pulling out with nothing to show for it.
