The ____ conflict known as the Cold War was based on differences between the United States and the USSR.
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The Cold War is called the Cold War because the United States and the USSR never fought each other directly.

Instead, they fought indirectly through proxy wars like the Vietnam and Korean War. Basically, they sent money and help to one side that was fighting. For example, in the Korean War, the US helped South Korea, because they were against Communism, and the USSR aided North Korea, since they were for Communism.

So, the correct answer is B: indirect.

Understand the involvement of the US in the Vietnam War
Alika [10]
The U.S. was brought into the Vietnam war because America wanted to help control the spread of communism. During the war, Vietnam was broken into two countries: Northern and Southern Vietnam. Northern Vietnam was a communist country, whereas South Vietnam was not. This fueled the "domino theory," which meant that if Vietnam fell to communism, many of its closest neighbors would follow. The U.S. made an effort to prevent this from happening.
