The <span>movement against the involvement of the United States in the Vietnam War</span> began in the U.S. with demonstrations in 1964 and grew in strength in later years. The U.S. became polarized between those who advocated continued involvement in Vietnam and those who wanted peace.

Many in the peace movement were students, mothers, or anti-establishment hippies. Opposition grew with participation by the African-American civil rights, women's liberation, and Chicago movements, and sectors of organized labor. Additional involvement came from many other groups, including educators, clergy, academics, journalists, lawyers, physicians (such as Benjamin Spock), Civil Rights Movement leaders and military veterans. Opposition consisted mainly of peaceful, nonviolent events; few events were deliberately provocative and violent. In some cases, police used violent tactics against demonstrators. By 1967, according to Gallup Polls, an increasing majority of Americans considered US military involvement in Vietnam to be a mistake, echoed decades later by the then head of American war planning, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.

why did some Americans think making California a part of the US would strengthen the security of the nation

makkiz [27]

Some Americans thought that making California a part of the US would strengthen the security of the nation because there was going to be fewer war threats by adding more territory.

Explanation

They believed that it would protect them more from war threats because California provided a coastline to protect the country, which added more territory. Having the control of it, they could build a defense against other countries who would want to invade from the west side.

In addition, California's natural resources such as silver, gold, and fertile soil were very important for the nation, which was in a growing process.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The correct answer is Turkey.

Explanation:

Asia Minor (or Anatolia) was a geographic region in south-western Asia, which nowadays represents the Asian part of modern Turkey and some parts of Armenia.

Alexander the Great defeated Persians in the Battle of the Granicus (334-333 BC), and after that proceeded with the conquest of Asia Minor. Most of the cities surrendered without a fight, but he experienced some difficulties while conquering some cities of Miletus, Halicarnassus, and Mylasa.

According to the legend, in the ancient capital, Gordium, Alexander cut the famous Gordian Knot that made him a King of Asia.

Besides Asia Minor, his empire also included Macedonia, Greece, Syria, Judea, Phoenicia, Egypt, Gaza, Mesopotamia, Persia, Bactria and some parts of India.
