Public awareness of the Selma march was important because:
D. It helped the public realize there was a need for the Voting Rights Act.
Explanation:
By 1965 the most important issue remaining in the civil rights movement was the one of the Voting Rights Act which was the primary concern of the black population of the time.
Although the black population did have a right to vote by then, but it was important to end the discriminatory practices against them in the voting and election processes to make the democracy truly representative of their culture.
Thus the march being publicized made people realize the need for it.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. Latin America does not dominate the Organization of American States.
Explanation:
The Organization of American States is a Pan-American international organization of regional and continental scope created on April 30, 1948, with the objective of being a political forum for decision-making, multilateral dialogue and the integration of America. The organization's statement says it works to strengthen peace, security and consolidate democracy, promote human rights, support social and economic development by promoting sustainable growth in America. In its actions seeks to build stronger relationships between nations and peoples of the continent.
The OAS is based in the District of Columbia, United States. This country has been the main promoter of the Organization, and is the de facto leader of it.
1st reason: The US army had superior conventional weapons but they were ineffective against a country that was not industrialized and an army which employed guerrilla tactics and used the dense jungle as cover.
2nd reason: North Vietnamese soldiers were dedicated to fighting for independence and for communism. They were fiercely loyal to their leadership, which had already provided land reform in the north.
These soldiers were conscripted and served long tours of duty. As a result, the Vietcong became highly experienced and knowledgeable about American tactics
3rd reason: The North Vietnamese were supplied and supported by China and the Soviet Union. A total of $2 billion was given in aid to the fight against America between 1965-1968. This included 8,000 anti-aircraft guns and 200 anti-aircraft missile sites.
4th reason: The Vietcong had an intricate knowledge of the terrain. They won the hearts and minds of the South Vietnamese people by living in their villages and helping them with their everyday lives.
Their tunnel systems, traps and jungle cover meant they were difficult to defeat and hard to find.
Hope this helps a bit :)
