What was the link between the policy of containment and the United State's involvement in Korea and Vietnam?

History
1 answer:
Fed [463]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:  Under its foreign policy of containment, the United States aimed to keep communism from expanding.  That meant trying to stop communist takeover of all of Korea and all of Vietnam.

Explanation/context:

The policy of containment focused on keeping communism and the Soviet Union's influence limited.  It influenced US foreign policy by prompting intervention in places like Korea and Vietnam to stop the spread of communism.

George F. Kennan recommended the policy of containment which set the tone for US involvement in world relations following World War II.  Kennan was an American diplomat in Moscow after World War II.  In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the threat of communism.  He recommended not confronting the USSR directly but simply trying to keep communism contained to where it already had taken hold.

What led many people to move west manifest destiny
strojnjashka [21]

Pioneer settlers were sometimes pulled west because they wanted to make a better living. The biggest factor that pulled pioneers west was the opportunity to buy land.

Manifest destiny was caused by the fact that the American people were historically connected to English civilization, this gave them a sense of superiority over the other peoples who lived in North America. Because of the fact that they were white and civilized, the Americans felt superior to the Indians.

How is president Kennedy trying to influence the American public to buy into the idea of putting a man on the moon
Orlov [11]

President Kennedy influence the American public for idea of putting a man on the moon is given below.

Explanation:

  • On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced before a special joint session of Congress the dramatic and ambitious goal of sending an American safely to the Moon before the end of the decade.
  • A number of political factors affected Kennedy's decision and the timing of it. In general, Kennedy felt great pressure to have the United States "catch up to and overtake" the Soviet Union in the "space race." Four years after the Sputnik shock of 1957, the cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin had become the first human in space on April 12, 1961, greatly embarrassing the U.S. While Alan Shepard became the first American in space on May 5, he only flew on a short suborbital flight instead of orbiting the Earth, as Gagarin had done. In addition, the Bay of Pigs fiasco in mid-April put unquantifiable pressure on Kennedy.
  • He wanted to announce a program that the U.S. had a strong chance at achieving before the Soviet Union. After consulting with Vice President Johnson, NASA Administrator James Webb, and other officials, he concluded that landing an American on the Moon would be a very challenging technological feat.
  • The decision involved much consideration before making it public, as well as enormous human efforts and expenditures to make what became Project Apollo a reality by 1969. Only the construction of the Panama Canal in modern peacetime and the Manhattan Project in war were comparable in scope. NASA's overall human spaceflight efforts were guided by Kennedy's speech; Projects Mercury (at least in its latter stages), Gemini, and Apollo were designed to execute Kennedy's goal.
  • His goal was achieved on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong stepped off the Lunar Module's ladder and onto the Moon's surface.

In honor of Kennedy's historic speech, below are some documents and other information relating to the decision to go to the Moon and Project Apollo that we hope you find useful.
