One consequence of the Reagan's administration aid to right-wing El Salvador government was <u>the influx of Salvadoran asylum seekers into the United States</u>. This sparked a large politicized debate over immigration in the U.S. that ultimately helped to shape the legal and political American debate about it.
The Reagan administration's (1981-1989) large military aid to right-wing coup and government in El Salvador served also as legitimization and sustenance of the regime. The El Salvador civil war lasted almost 13 years (1979-1992).
American support of the right-wing government happened through financial aid and military training by American officers. This was a conflict typical of the Cold War so it was driven by red scare. Americans' support of the regime attempted to forestall any type of social revolution based on leftist ideologies, represented by the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front which was fighting against the military coup that started in 1979.
This led to Americans training and supporting a military that tortured thousands of people. One of the Salvadorean strategies against the rebels was to target civilians so they wouldn't support the Liberation Front.
The legitimization happened as the U.S. supported internationally the Salvadorean regime and as American officers took high-level positions in the government.
Answer: The December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by an earthquake that is thought to have had the energy of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs. ... Within hours of the earthquake, killer waves radiating from the epicenter slammed into the coastlines of 11 countries, damaging countries from east Africa to Thailand.
The high of the wave in 2004 tsunami was 100 feet
Explanation: For an earthquake-generated tsunami, the wavelength generally reaches a few hundred kilometres if the concerned fault is long. For the 2004 Sumatra earthquake, the wavelength is estimated, from the first wave measured by the Jason-1 satellite altimeter, as around 500–600 km (Gower 2005).
Answer:
This question is really geared more towards your own interpretation, so there isn't necessarily going to be a right or wrong answer. I would say that today the first amendment protects when people are speaking out against policies and general injustices in the American society today, and for instance, on social media I have seen people say "f trump and f america." The first amendment is protecting them, so that nobody can hold that statement against them and press charges. If we lived in russia, the russian secret police would find you, and kill you for that. Personally, I believe that if someone wanted to burn an american flag on their front lawn, and curse america, they should not be protected by the first amendment. that should be a crime. However, the first amendment does protect them, so there is nothing anyone could do about that legally.
Explanation:
Answer: Very Bad.
Explanation:
The United States were a staunch supporter of Chiang Kai-shek who was the leader of mainland China as a Nationalist from 1928 to 1949.
In 1949, the Communists under Mao Zedong defeated Chiang and forced him to flee to Taiwan.
The US were wary of Communism and determined not to let it spread and so did not recognize the new Chinese state. They recognized Taiwan as China and even gave China's seat in the UN Security Council to Taiwan.
Various incidents highlighted how bad relations were between the 2 nations. Some of them included; the Korean War, the Taiwan Strait Crises, the Vietnam war and the Tibetan Crisis.
During the Korean War, China and the United States went against each other with China attacking United Nations forces which were mostly made up of Americans and the United Nations counter attacking. The conflict was so bad that General MacArthur called for a nuclear strike on China.
The Taiwan Strait Crisis almost saw the Nationalists who were allied to the US go to war with the Communists.
The Vietnam war saw the United States and the Chinese again supporting different sides of a conflict when the Chinese supported North Vietnam and the Americans, the South.
However during the late 60s, Soviet Russia and Communist China saw a thaw in their relationship as both subscribed to varying degrees of Communism. This saw minor border clashes but more importantly it convinced President Nixon to reach out to China. From 1967 onwards, the two countries began to negotiate a path forward which saw the games Ping Pong Diplomacy of 1971 where an American Ping Pong team came to play against a Chinese one.
