Option 1:
a.) The US policy of containment stated that they would contain communism to prevent it from spreading into the other countries. This can be seen in the Korean and Vietnam War because the US fought to stop the others from spreading the idea of communism.
b.) The agreements that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis was the idea of open skies. Each country would disarm their nukes and other atomic weapons and allow the skies to be open for “surveillance.” This, however, ended up failing as a US pilot was shot down after “surveying” the skies. The interesting thing about this is that the US president was already getting rid of all the atomic bombs in the US, but told the SU that they were not going to disarm. This scared the SU into disarming.
c.) in my opinion, I believe this containment policy failed. The US was unable to stop communism as it spread to china. The US tried hard to stop this spread but ultimately failed.
Option 2:
a.) The causes of the Korean War include the fear of spreading communism. North Korea were communist and South Korea were not. Just as the US were going through imperialism, North Korea was too. This caused them to want to spread the idea of communism. They attacked South Korea, so the US lead the counter attack and pushed the North Korean forces back.
b.) Due to the lack of support, the US lost the Vietnam war. There were many factors that contributed to this, making the Americans question the real intentions of the war. For example, the Tet Offensive was a turning point in the war. The war was almost over, and Johnson told the public they were winning, but when the US attacked Vietnam on the Vietnamese New year, they lost support. There was a request for 200,000 more troops and the US people saw this as an act of desperation. There was also the My Lai massacre where innocent Vietnamese citizens- mostly children and women- were killed by US soldiers for no reason. This was all covered up by the US government. The war eventually ended when Kissinger negotiated with north Vietnam. The US ended the longest known war and the last few troops leave Vietnam in 1973. South Vietnam surrendered in 1976, which is considered a loss because the US unsuccessfully helped them.
c.) same as option 1
<span>The terms failed to clarify the fate of the emperor.
</span>The US wanted to end the war, and they felt the only options were to either use the atomic bomb, or stage an invasion of mainland Japan. The invasion of Japan called for massive numbers of troops that had been serving in Europe to join the forces fighting in the Pacific theater. The government of Japan was fanatical and was not likely to surrender unless it could no longer wage war. Casualty estimates for the American forces were staggering, coming to a number of 500,000. President Truman and his advisors deemed this an unacceptable cost and <span>therefore decided to drop the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima to force</span>
The Lasting Contributions of Rome. The Romans invented cement, which was stronger than stone and designed huge arches and domes with it. They also used concrete to build more than 50,000 miles of roads. This helped unify the empire.
<span>The correct answer is letter D. The grass-roots organization that was held by such movement empowered and enabled the people of Kenya to preserve and uphold the dignity of their land and their people. It was originally designed to respond to the needs of the rural Kenyan women that were in search for food and water supply, but the movement has fully grown into a conservation practice in Africa. </span>
