The United States supported forces fighting against Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, even though the United States wasn't directly involved in the conflict.

Option A

Explanation: 

Proxy wars can also have an enormous effect, particularly in the locality. However, thousands of unexploded bombs have been killing in the battle since the war had ended in Cambodia and Laos, not just in Vietnam.

Khmer Rouge, a socialist party headed by the Pol Pot who ruled Cambodia following its 1975 success in the Cambodian Civil War, committed the ethnic cleansing of Cambodia that killed between 1.5 and 2 million people, representing almost 25% of the Cambodian population.

It is claimed that, during the Cambodian-Vietnam War, the US The United States trained and equipped the Khmer Rouge directly to destroy Vietnam and the Ussr influence in Southeast Asia.

There's no reason to think that, even after 1979, when the Khmer Rouge was mostly ousted by Vietnam and governed a small part of the country, the United States encouraged the government of China to provide military training and support to the Khmer Rouges, and that America voted for a Khmer Rouge to continue the country's official member at UN.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Before the invention of the cotton gin only long thread cotton could be profitably grown. The long thread cotton could only be grown in a limited geographic locations.

The cotton gin allowed short thread varieties of cotton to be profitably grown throughout the south. This increase in cotton production lead to the expression that cotton is king. The southern plantation owners became rich. The economy of the south became depended on cotton.

In the north the availability of large amounts of now relatively cheap cotton made textile mills a possibility in the north. These textile mills utilizing cotton from the south were the foundation of the industrialization of the north, providing great wealth and attracting immigrants from Europe.

The cotton gin changed the economy of the south to a mainly agriculture economy based on cotton and slavery.

The cotton gin changed the economy of the north to a mainly industrial factory based economy requiring educated workers from European nations.

The southern economy wanted low import duties to purchase manufactured goods with their agricultural products.

The northern economy wanted high import duties to protect their new industries from European competition
