To stop the spread of communism.

Explanation:

The United States have an infamous history throughout the 20th century of meddling in the internal affairs in countries all over the world. Some oft hose countries were Guatemala and Iran. There were two reasons as to why the United States engaged into overthrowing their governments, one being the economic factor, and the other being the military factor.

First of all, the United States were trying to stop the spread of communism, and even more so the Soviet influence in other countries. They were opposing the communism mainly because it was endangering the economy, or rather the global trade and market.

Answer:

1) Monarch, 2) Lords, 3) Vassals, 4) Peasants.

Explanation:

The Monarch typically either held the most power, or was at least the figurehead of the society. This places them on the pinnacle of power.

The Lords swore allegiance to the Monarch, and with collectiveness, typically would receive some sort of protection under the Monarch umbrella. In return, they would have to send soldiers to help fight the Monarch's battles, as well as supply certain materials, depending on what they produce and what the Monarch's need.

The Vassals are such like Lords, in which they had small amount of land and infrastructure, and, as such in a lesser scale, would receive accommodations from Lords in exchange for their allegiance to the Lords.

Peasants are the most numerous and also ranked at the base of the pyramid, and typically was made up of farmers. These hold very little power, and sometimes were also attached to the land that they live and work on.

Of course, this pyramid does not include all classes, and the over-arching titles that can be used for multiple groups is not sufficient enough to place certain groups within these titles in the correct areas. Also, it is important to note that there may be differentiations from a hierarchy to another, but the over-all model is relatively the same.
