George Washington called the Congress under the Articles of Confederation a "shadow without substance" because under the Articles of Confederation the Congress was given very limited powers. The Articles of Confederation gave most of the power to states and did not give much power to the national government. Therefore although it created national bodies like Congress they were just a shadow because they had very limited powers and not much of an ability to institute any real policies.
I think it was in 1964, that was when direct army confrontation happened. This was followed by several more conflicts that made use of heavy fighting naval and aircraft with the Gulf of Tonkin resolution that made military measures necessary. There were an estimated 40, 000 deaths and 20, 000 other casualties.
<span>At the time, it was the height of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. The Soviets also wanted to send a man to the moon. It was basically a race to see who was best. The US didn't want the Soviets to beat them to the moon. The Soviets had already won the space race twice, by launching the first satellite and having the first person in space. The US didn't want to lose the race to the moon. hope this helps</span>
