The Reformation promoted an individual relationship with God and that anyone could find salvation through hard work.
Democracy--the Protestant reformation taught people they could have a say in the own salvation and did not need a Church leader such as the Pope to provide them salvation. This thinking convince people they could lead themselves and have a say in other parts of their life such as their government.
Individualism--because the Reformation taught that individual people could be the key to their own salvation, it began to convince people they could find progress on their own. Individualism grew as an idea as more people believed they could control their own destiny through their own hard work.
The correct answer is "The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution".
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was enacted on August 10, 1964. It was the initial action that the US government took regarding the Vietnam War. After the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident", which saw the USS Maddox engage into combat with 3 North Vietnamese torpedo boats on August 2, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson was granted the authorization by US Congress to formally declare war on North Vietnam.
The correct answer is definitely Al Qaeda. It was founded in 1988 by Osama bib Laden during the Soviet War of Afghanistan (1979-1989). He create it because he deeply hated the West for what he perceived as an alleged Jewish-Christian world conspiracy to attack Islam. The USA and the West had trained Islamic <em>mujahideen </em>(Islamic fighters of Jihad, or “holy war”) in Afghanistan and other countries to fight the Soviets there. They provided them with modern weapons and funding. Near the end of the war, Bin Laden decided to expand Jihad against the West and all its allies, especially Israel. Because these terrorists had been trained by the US and its allies, and because they still had the modern weapons the US gave them to fight the Soviets, added to the fact that Bin Laden himself was part of one of the richest families in Saudi Arabia, that meant that Al Qaeda had a large amount of trained and experience fighter to train even more Islamic jihadists who had access to modern American weaponry and Saudi funding. This made them the most powerful terrorist organization during the 1990s (1998 American Embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya, the USS Cole bombing and then the September 11th World Trade Center attacks) and the early 2000s.
