Israel
The United States has supported Israel in past wars, such as the 1973 war with a coalition of Arab States. It cost the USA something to give that support, as the Arab oil-producing states placed an oil embargo on the United States. The US values Israel as an ally in the Middle East, but also seeks to caution Israel against provoking war with a major state like Iran, against whom the US really does not want to get dragged into war.
South Korea
The United States has a large military presence in South Korea, seeking to assure its security vs. the communist regime in North Korea. If indeed North Korea were to attack the South, the US would support its democratic ally. But lately there have been overtures between North and South Korea, seeking to work out a more peaceful relationship, and the US is participating in that process.
The United Kingdom
The United States and the United Kingdom (the British) have been allies for a long time and enjoy a "special relationship," as Winston Churchill termed it. As allies they have helped one another in the war on terror in the Middle East. They also routinely share intelligence that each nation gathers, in the interests of their mutual security. Sharing of intelligence reports is something allies will do in peacetime as well as during active war.
The gulf of tonkin gave the President of the United States (Lyndon B. Johnson) the right to use any military force that was deemed conventional without the declaration of war by Congress in Southeast Asia and to assist any army, whether legitimate or not. This started the rapid escalation from the Americans in the Vietnam War and their rapid warfare against North Vietnam.
The correct answer is A)To convince the American colonies to separate from Britain
Thomas Paine's famous pamhplet <em>Common Sense</em> was written as a means to convince colonists that they would be better of without British control. In the passage above, Paine argues that the colonists would have had more financial success without being controlled by England. This is due to the fact that the colonists were often limited to trading just with England as part of its system of mercantilism. This severely limited the colonists and their ability to trade with other countries.
Answer:
After blood was spilled at the Battles of Lexington and Concord, April 19, 1775, Paine argued that the cause of America should be not just a revolt against taxation but a demand for independence. He put this idea into Common Sense, which came off the press on January 10, 1776.
