How did the United States respond to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan?

History

When the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the United States and President Carter were not pleased. We let the Soviet Union know this invasion was not justified or acceptable. However, the Soviet Union wouldn’t leave Afghanistan. Thus, the United States developed a plan to deal with this situation.  President Carter ordered an embargo on the sale of grain to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union depended on grain from our country, and President Carter hoped this would encourage the Soviet Union to leave. When this didn’t happen, President Carter announced the United States would not take part in the 1980 Summer Olympic Games that were being held in the Soviet Union. Other countries also agreed to boycott the 1980 Summer Olympic Games. This was somewhat controversial because athletes who had trained for years felt they were being punished. These athletes felt they were being used as political pawns and weren’t happy about it.  President Carter also provided aid to the Afghan rebels who were fighting the Soviet invasion. The group we helped was the Taliban. Aiding the Taliban came back to haunt us many years later.

How did the era of "Ping-Pong diplomacy" signal a shift in U.S. foreign policy?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

In the years since Mao Zedong’s communist revolution in 1949, relations between the People’s Republic of China and the United States had been clouded by Cold War propaganda, trade embargos and diplomatic silence. The two superpowers had met on the battlefield during the Korean War, but no official American delegation had set foot in the People’s Republic in over 20 years. By 1971, however, both nations were looking to open a dialogue with one another. China’s alliance with the Soviet Union had soured and produced a series of bloody border clashes, and Chairman Mao believed ties with the Americans might serve as a deterrent against the Russians. U.S. President Richard Nixon, meanwhile, had made opening China a top priority of his administration. In 1967, he had written, “We simply cannot afford to leave China forever outside the family of nations.”
