Why did the United States and USSR engage in proxy wars during the Cold War?

History
2 answers:
GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago

Proxy wars were used by the United States and Soviet Union as a way to fight one another without resorting to actual war between the two nations. The United States tried to use proxy wars to contain communism, as they did in Guatemala by sponsoring a coup. The USSR engaged in a proxy war by supporting communist rebels in Nicaragua. Both nations used this strategy to promote their own influence and security.

The United States and the USSR were the lone remaining superpowers left after World War II.

As a result, they viewed proxy wars much like a chess player viewed moving a pawn. If they could get a strategic advantage in Algeria or El Salvador or Cuba, they would take it and lord it over the losing superpower.

1.3. Who stole the apples? From among Harry, James, Donald, George, Charlie, and Tom, two are
vodomira [7]

Answer: Charlie and James

Explanation:

Four of the boys named at least one suspect exactly and one lied on both. Charlie was named by 3 of the boys and 4 boys named exactly one suspect correctly meaning that these 3 boys have to be amongst the 4 boys and that Charlie is the first thief by sheer majority.

The 2 remaining boys are Charlie and James.

James said Tom had done it which could not be right because Tom was already named as one of the thieves by Donald. If Tom was the thief then Donald would have named both of the thieves correctly and we are told that <em>exactly one name</em> was named correctly by each of the 4 boys.

Donald was named by the 2 remaining boys which would mean that if he was the thief, all 5 boys would have named one thief correctly which violates the rule.

This leaves James as the other thief as well as the boy who lied on both names.

1. Describe Thomas Jefferson’s view of the federal government and its responsibilities.
xenn [34]

Answer:

central government should be "rigorously frugal and simple." As president he reduced the size and scope of the federal government by ending internal taxes, reducing the size of the army and navy, and paying off the government's debt. Limiting the federal government flowed from his strict interpretation of the Constitution.
