Massive retaliation means the US would respond to an attack with a larger response to annihilate the enemy. 

Massive retaliation required a bigger, stronger weapon than held by an enemy. This policy forced an intense arms race which required the US to win in order to execute the plan. The use spent millions developing nuclear weapons and eventually the space program to prove they were prepared for an attack by the USSR.

You didn't list statements to choose from, so I'll just provide some detail about Dulles' approach.

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under President Eisenhower.  He held the office from 1953 to 1959.  He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinksmanship."  In an article in LIFE magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

How might currency control measures affect the trade of a certain nation?
ankoles [38]
When you impose such policies, you declare how much of a certain currency can enter your country, or can leave your country. If you have different currencies this could harm your economy because it might prevent others from trading with you due to currency differences. If you do things like Europeans, then you can introduce a new policy that abolishes your old currency and adopts a widely used one like the Euro. This might boost your economy because others might invest.

Why is the Battle of Stalingrad considered a turning point of World War II? a It demonstrated the strains between the Soviet Uni
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

d It stopped the German military advance to the East.

Explanation:

The Battle of Stalingrad was a major battle in World War II. It involves the German army and its allies against the Soviet Union Army.

It was fought in September 1942, at which the German army lost about a quarter of their total army in the battle. And still could not take over the territory.

This led to the German Army unable to contain the invasion of Soviet Union soldiers when they advanced to the German territory.

Hence, the Battle of Stalingrad was considered a turning point of World War II because "It stopped the German military advance to the East."

What does "And Yet the Books" have to do with Nazis
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

And yet the books will be there on the shelves, separate beings,

That appeared once, still wet

As shining chestnuts under a tree in autumn,

And, touched, coddled, began to live

In spite of fires on the horizon, castles blown up,

Tribes on the march, planets in motion.

“We are, ” they said, even as their pages

Were being torn out, or a buzzing flame

Licked away their letters. So much more durable

Than we are, whose frail warmth

Cools down with memory, disperses, perishes.

I imagine the earth when I am no more:

Nothing happens, no loss, it’s still a strange pageant,

Women’s dresses, dewy lilacs, a song in the valley.

Yet the books will be there on the shelves, well born,

Derived from people, but also from radiance, heights.

Czeslaw Milosz

Wewaii [24]
