Answer:

The war was not worth fighting.

Explanation:

First of all, the American military was ill-prepared for the war because it did not know well what strategy the Vietcong would use against the American soldiers, as they did not expected the war to become almost a guerrilla warfare.

Secondly, the American military and government ignored Vietnam's geography, economy, society and history, and this made it difficult to understand the context, and garner support from the Vietnamese people.

Third, the war was held in a far away country that did not pose any direct threat to American citizens

Finally, the war caused heavy casualties to both sides, including Vietnamese civilians, that did not lead to a victory, since the American military technically lost the war as it had to retreat.

As a result of the collapse of roman rule in 476, what did western Europe experience ?
gregori [183]

<span>The </span>Fall of the Western Roman Empire<span> (commonly known as </span>Fall of the Roman Empire<span> or </span>Fall of Rome) was the period of decline in the Western Roman Empire in which it disintegrated and split into numerous successor states. By 476 CE, when Odoacer deposed the Emperor Romulus, the Western Roman Empire wielded negligible military, political, or financial power and had no effective control over the scattered Western domains that could still be described as Roman. Invading "barbarians" had established their own polities on most of the area of the Western Empire. While its legitimacy lasted for centuries longer and its cultural influence remains today, the Western Empire never had the strength to rise again.

Explain ONE development in the period before 1930 that would support Duara’s claim that Japan had “amply demonstrated its leader
Vladimir79 [104]
One piece of evidence that Duara uses in the passage to support his claim regarding Western racial attitudes and Japanese militarism in the second paragraph is where he says that Japan was allotted a lower quota of ships than the British and Americans.

Or you can say...

Discrimination was perceived in the international conferences in Washington (1922), the London Naval Conference (1930), and wherever Japan was allotted a lower quota of ships than the British and Americans. But most of all, it was the buildup of exclusionary policies in the United States and the final Exclusion Laws prohibiting Japanese immigration in 1924 that galled Japanese nationalists. In their view, Asian civilization did not exhibit inhuman racist attitudes and policies of this kind, and for [Japanese] militants . . . these ingrained civilizational differences would have to be fought out in a final, righteous war of the East against the West.”
