The domino theory, which governed much of U.S. foreign policy beginning in the early 1950s, held that a communist victory in one nation would quickly lead to a chain reaction of communist takeovers in neighboring states. In Southeast Asia, the United States government used the domino theory to justify its support of a non-communist regime in South Vietnam against the communist government of North Vietnam, and ultimately its increasing involvement in the long-running Vietnam War (1954-75). In fact, the American failure to prevent a communist victory in Vietnam had much less of a global impact than had been assumed by the domino theory. Though communist regimes did arise in Laos and Cambodia after 1975, communism failed to spread throughout the rest of Southeast Asia......All done enjoy

Which of the following is true of Lyndon Johnson's leadership related to Vietnam?
Bingel [31]

   I believed that the correct answer for the question is option (A) he wanted to take strong action against North Vietnam.

  Lyndon Johnson was the thirty-sixth president of the United States, he assume the presidency on the last year of Kennedy´s mandate after his death, and get re-elected the next year (1964) upto 1969. His presidency held a proggresist policy for the inside such as the approbation of the civil right law in 1964 that prohibited the racial discrimination on public establishments and bussines or institution that receive federal funds, the next year he approbed a law that stopped the discrimination on the voting system, this action openned the door to millions of black people from the south states to vote for the first time.

  Nevertheless his proggresism for the inside in what respects the foreign policy Johnson held an aggresive and anti-communist speech. He was the author of a doctrine that support the U.S. army unilateraly intervene or start <em>"limited wars" </em>anywhere in the world in order to preserve and protect North American interests, the maximum example of this doctrine was the war against the vietnamese people. He accept a theory named as domino that sustained that if South Vietnam fall in the hands of communism it would be the first of wave of communist advance in Asia. When he get to the presidency in 1963 there were about 10 thousand soldiers on Vietnamese soil, three years later the number growth upto half a million. But this militar escalation did not supose the triumph on the war and also gave birth to an opposive movement between the american youth, the hippies. The vast protests along the entire country together a succesfull offensive of the Tet (north vietnamese army) between january and february of 1968 make Johnson decline as candidate for the reelection on that year leaving his place to Richard Nixon.

  I hope this answer help you. Regards.

Answer:

Jade is unique when compared with other gems because in the excerpt it says "The value of jade to the Mayan people went far beyond its use as an art material. It had deep spiritual significance as well. The Mayan people saw a connection to water and plants in the mineral’s green color. Some evidence suggests that Mayan royalty associated jade with life and death. It was said that a small bead of jade placed on the tongue would absorb the spirit of a dying royal." So this shows that jade was big part of their culture. The event in recent history changed geologist’s ideas about where the Mayans and earlier people found the jade they used in their artwork is when Hurricane Mitch devastated Guatemala and Honduras in 1999, heavy rains and flooding exposed many previously covered deposits of jade. This included a large vein of a rare blue-green variety of jadeite that had been used by the Olmec people.
