Answer:

East Asia:

The end of World War 2 resulted in the utter collapse of the Axis powers, namely Germany, Italy, and Japan, and pulled the United States out of isolationism, which resulted in the emergence of two global superpowers: The United States and the Soviet Union. However, after the Yalta Conference, it quickly became clear that Stalin wished to dominate Eastern Europe and develop a buffer zone between the remnants of Germany and the USSR in order to 'protect against any possible future German aggression - at least officially. However, it was widely believed that Stalin wished to spread the revolution around the globe. This was despite promises of free elections in occupied territories.

The issue here is that Communism and Capitalism are drastically different and intensely clashing ideologies. One values freedom of market, while the other values state control of the markets. The emergence of nuclear weapons also made the Soviets come to a harsh realization - that the American arsenal was superior to theirs. As such, the Russians began developing nuclear weapons of their own, and they would soon see this success come to fruition. This created massive tensions between Russia and the United States, as the power of nuclear technology had already been displayed in full view on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Third, the American fear of communism and the sometimes excessive witch-hunting lead to extreme mistrust between the two powers. As such, they often supported opposing sides in proxy conflicts.

For this example, I will be using the outbreak of the Vietnam war. When the war began in 1955, America and Russia both began supplying their respective sides -  Russia, the Viet Minh and America the Republican government in Saigon. As the conflict escalated and it became increasingly spotlighted South Vietnam's inefficencies, lack of military competency, and underground pro-communist insurrections, America began deploying soldiers. This began slowly at first and escalated into over 543,000 active troops at its peak.

Despite such a large troop presence, the communist and their insurgent allies were continuing to gain victories. America became desperate to save face and secure some kind of victory, even if it was a strategic one. As such, they began napalming the Vietnamese jungles and bombing Hanoi and other major Northern cities in an attempt to weaken and possibly destroy the Soviet-backed government. As such, it is arguable that the American fervor for victory and triumph over the Communist cause was high enough that they were willing to attempt to destroy an entire nation. The damages done by the American military were massive, and the civilian casualties extreme. Because of this, we can say that this region of East Asia was riddled with conflict and devastation because of America and the Soviet Union's ideological rivalry.

List four powers of the government under the Articles of Confederation.​
sesenic [268]

Answer:Congress, or the central government, was made up of delegates chosen by the states and could conduct foreign affairs, make treaties, declare war, maintain an army and a navy, coin money, and establish post offices. However, measures passed by Congress had to be approved by nine of the 13 states.

Congress was limited in its powers. It could not raise money by collecting taxes and had no control over foreign commerce; it could pass laws but could not force the states to comply with them. The Government was dependent on the cooperation of the various states to carry out its measures.

The articles were nearly impossible to change, so problems could not be corrected.

Document D: Medieval Economic Laws
Semenov [28]

Answer: Is down below

Explanation:

The Dark Ages ●Was the period between 400 AD and 1400 AD a “Dark Age” for Europe? ●Was this a time of cultural decay and decline? The American Cyclopedia “The Dark Ages is a term applied in its widest sense to that period of intellectual depression in the history of Europe from the establishment of the barbarian supremacy in the fifth century (400 AD) to the revival of learning at about the beginning of the fifteenth (1400 AD), thus nearly corresponding in extent with the Middle Ages.” Textbook A 1.What type of document is this? A textbook excerpt. 2.When was it written? Was written in 1965. 3.How long does this textbook suggest the “Dark Ages” lasted? 624 years. 476 to 1100. 4.Why, according to this textbook, were the “early Middle Ages” a “Dark Age”? Europe suffered a decline in economy, literature, art, culture, education. When barbarians invaded there was disorder, chaos, travel was not safe. Government could not keep order. There was violence, theft, decline in manufacturing, commerce, education. Government lost control and it all fell to pieces. A poverty stricken time. 5.What is similar and different about this account and the American Cyclopaedia entry? Similar: see the dark ages as a negative time for Europe. Agree that it is an adequate name for this time period. Use the ‘barbarism’ term. Textbook says it was ‘semi’ whereas the cyclopedia said it was ‘supreme’ barbarism. Mention a decline in education. Differences: time period, one only mentions intellectual depression, the other talks about
