History

Len [333]3 years ago

Answer:

The Viet Cong was better at fighting a guerrilla warfare, while the US was better at fighting open terrain and urban combat.

Explanation:

You must remember that the US fought the Viet Cong during the Vietnam war, in which the country was (& still mostly is) surrounded by dense jungles, which the US rarely fought in following WW2. This led to a deficit in the US military, as few had any experience in fighting inside the jungle, while the Viet Cong was fighting on their home turf, which meant that they knew the area a lot more better. This led to the US using harmful chemical weapons to clear the land (usually Agent Orange), but advances in the jungle was limited.

However, when fighting in urban combat, the US excelled in such a way that they were able to almost crush the Viet Cong. However, because of media misrepresentation, and US public opinion, the US public was given the information that they were actually losing, and so they demanded a withdrawal from the war. This occurred, and South Vietnam fell to the communist regime soon after.

Which of these BEST describes why Georgia was important to United States during World War I?
astraxan [27]

At the beginning of World War I the United Statesdid not want to participate in the war. US President at the time Woodrow Wilson was very strong on the believe that the United States should keep its neutrality. Eventually, the United States was not able to maintain that neutrality and in April 6th, 1917, there was an official declaration of war on Germany thus affirming the United States entrance into World War I.

At the beginning of the war and for almost two years, just about all newspapers in Georgia had articles describing the negative consequences of the war for the State´s economic situation. Suddenly, there was a complete turn around on the position of the newspapers, and almost immediately they were in favor of the war effort, and all the articles became very patriotic and anti German.

Georgia was very important for the war effort between 1917 and 1918 because the State had many training camps, which were federal installations and they facilitated the formation of qualified men to the war. D will be the correct answer. The State contributed with more than 100 thousand men and women on behalf of the United States.
