Explain how the formation of NATO is an example of containment. Was the goal achieved? Explain why or why not.

Have you ever tried to corral a bunch of marbles on the floor? They roll around every which way, and just when you think you have them all gathered together, a few more squirt out from your grasp and go skating away. Surely, your job is much easier if you have a few friends to help cage in those marbles.

Though your own travails gathering marbles may seem trivial, the United States' greatest fear in the second half of the 20th century was hemming in a different slippery character: the spread of worldwide communism. For this, the United States gathered its own friends in Western Europe to help stop communism from taking root elsewhere in the world.

After World War II (WWII) ended, the Soviet Union took control of most of Eastern Europe, creating client states in countries such as Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany. The communist Soviet Union and the capitalist West stood toe-to-toe with each other in Germany, especially in the capital, Berlin, where the two worlds were literally separated from each other by the Berlin Wall. The United States feared the spread of Soviet-style, totalitarian communism could threaten Western Europe's capitalist states. Furthermore, if more and more states became communist and integrated into the Soviet Union's command economy, the U.S. could lose important trade and economic partners around the world.

To combat the spread of communism, U.S. foreign policy functioned on the idea of Containment immediately after the war and through the Truman administration. According to the policy, the United States would do everything it could to stop the spread of communism anywhere in the world, be it through diplomacy or military intervention. This policy also inherently intended to avoid open conflict with the Soviet Union, as any military confrontation with the Soviets could possibly lead to World War III.

A complimentary and contemporary theory that helped spur this policy was the Domino Theory. The Domino Theory stated many U.S. government analysts' greatest fears: that if countries in Southeast Asia were allowed to develop communist governments, as China had in 1949, one-by-one the neighboring countries would also become communist, eventually shutting the U.S. out of the region and threatening the U.S. presence.

Which Vietnam policy came first in the Johnson Administration?

nexus9112 [7]

The ACTUAL correct answer is: A. Gulf of Tonkin Resolution

Dates of the items listed:

Gulf of Tonkin Resolution: 1964
Operation Rolling Thunder: 1965-1968
Tet Offensive: 1968
Vietnamization: began 1969, under Nixon Administration

Further detail on Gulf of Tonkin Resolution:

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin. The key wording in the resolution said:

<em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>

That resolution served as a blank check for President Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war. Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.

Why did hundreds of people send canes to Preston Brooks?

nekit [7.7K]

Preston Brooks was a Southern Congressman and a passionate advocate of Southern Rights. Charles Sumner was an ardent abolitionist who delivered an impassioned speech against the authors of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1856. He also ridiculed the speech impediment of one of the authors, Andrew Butler. Preston Brooks got angry because he was the nephew of Andrew Butler. Together with a friend, Brooks approached Sumner as the latter worked at his desk and started caning Sumner. Sumner collapsed in the aisle and Preston Brooks continued caning him until his cane broke. Southerners sent canes to Preston Brooks to replace the one he broke.
