Answer:

The United States gradually got more and more involved in the Vietnamese conflict following the end of French colonial rule in the mid-1950s. The American government had provided money, weapons and supplies to the French army in its conflict with the communist guerrillas of the Viet Minh. In the Geneva conference that ended the colonial war, the USA also played an important role in the diplomatic agreements that were adopted there.

In the 1960s, American advisors and were sent to train and advise the South Vietnamese army, which was also provided with supplies and weapons. There was not a massive military presence. In 1964, North Vietnamese boats  attacked an American warship in the polemic incident of the Gulf of Tonkin; president Lyndon B. Johnson asked Congress for special powers and got them. With this authorization, Johnson escalated US military involvement in Vietnam to fight the communist Viet Cong guerrillas and the North Vietnamese army in South Vietnam. In 1965, more than half a million US troops were deployed in the Southeast Asian nation to fight against communist forces.

What are some examples of how Muslim nations in the Middle East had a major economic influence on western Europe?
ANEK [815]

Two major examples of how the Middle East and its Muslim nations influenced the economy of Western Europe are:

  • Fossil fuels
  • Sugar trade

The fossil fuels in the Middle East drove the energy requirements of Western Europe with relation to crude oil such that the Western Europeans sought to control the area by any means necessary.

The sugar trade was also influential because sugar was mostly controlled by Muslims and until the Europeans got to the New World, they had to rely on the Muslims of the Middle East for it.

In conclusion, sugar and oil from the Middle East were very influential on Western Europe's economy.
