Located in South East Asia and approximately 10,000 miles away from the Continental United States the Vietnam climate and geographical plains made it hard to travel and transport supplies.
Much of Vietnam, especially the mountains is covered by dense jungle (The Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the United Kingdom) Has 2 major rivers used largely for transportation.
Southern Vietnam was bordered by Laos and Cambodia and Was divided by the US military into FOUR sections making communication and back up difficult. also, the United States at the time were not trained widely for jungle battle, and were extremely vulnerable for surprise attacks.
The correct answer is Option D) They supported the United States, hoping for independence.
The United States entered overseas war against the Spanish in the American-Spanish war which lasted from 1898 to 1902 and eventually turned into the American-Filipino war.
Before the arrival of the Americans, Philippines had been annexed and become a colony of Spain.
When the American-Spanish war started many Filipino rebels actually supported the American war effort in the hopes that the Spanish defeat would lead to their independence.
This however, did not happen as the Philippines eventually became an American colony.
I would know about John Marshall. He was a federalist supreme court chief justice. He gave more power to the government by taking a loose construction of the Constitution. So basically he said, "If it doesnt say we (Fed Gov't) cant do it, then we can)".
<span>Know about these Court cases </span>
<span>Gibbons V. Ogden </span>
<span>McCullough V. Maryland </span>
<span>Fletcher V. Peck </span>
<span>Cohens V. Virginia </span>
<span>Barron V. Baltimore- this one is hard to find, so basically it just said that because the Bill of Rights was a Federal decision, it didnt apply to the states. </span>
<span>The rest are really easy to find out about, and you could type in John Marshall and it would probably give you all of these. </span>
