The Boston Tea Party protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, Massachusetts, in the year of 1773.

The American Colonists were protesting England's tax on the tea.

Keep in mind, we were still a colony then which means

we were not the United States of America yet.

England was putting very high taxes on goods

that were coming to the United States of America.

So for example, tea was something hat everyone drank and

it was a commodity so the colonists were protesting the high taxes.

So they got on board the boat with all the tea from England

and they dumped all the team into the harbor.

In World War 2, the Axis Powers were winning and Japan had just made the big mistake of bombing Pearl Harbor. After President Franklin Roosevelt had just declared war on Japan and their allies, many citizens helped build the tools of war. Tanks, airplanes, and other weapons were quickly made because of the determination people had to stop Japan from taking over the world. Women started to work in factories when the men had to fight overseas. As you can see, people/civilians helped fight in different ways in WW2.

Talja [164]

Answer:

1) U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War reflected a bipolar world where the overarching objectives included containment of communism, deterring nuclear Armageddon by threatening it and building a world of free trade supported by international economic institutions.

2) The Cold War affected domestic policy two ways: socially and economically. Socially, the intensive indoctrination of the American people led to a regression of social reforms. Economically, enormous growth spurred by industries related to war was aided by heavy government expansion.

3) Containment was a geopolitical strategic foreign policy pursued by the United States during the Cold War to prevent the spread of communism after the end of World War II. The name was loosely related to the term cordon sanitaire, which was containment of the Soviet Union in the 1940s.
