Answer:

The Suez Canal was built with the intention of creating a short maritime route between Europe and Asia.

Explanation:

The Suez Canal is a navigable canal located in Egypt that joins the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea. The canal turned the Sinai region into a new peninsula, constituting the border between the continents of Africa and Asia. Its length is 163 km between Port Said (on the Mediterranean shore) and Suez (on the coast of the Red Sea). It allows shortening the route of maritime trade between Europe and South Asia, as it avoids having to surround the African continent.

Answer:

Containment.

Explanation:

The policy of containment is a foreign policy proposed by the government under the Presidency of Harry S. Truman to limit the powers of the Soviet Union and its spread of communism after World War II in 1947. This policy was a reply to the Soviet Union when it started to expand its communist control in Eastern Europe and Asia. The idea of containment policy was to make countries well-off enough to avoid the lure of the Soviet Union. It provided support for countries that rejected communism. Americans fought on the sides of the nationalists to try to stop the spread of communists.
