One of the major reasons why Americans distrusted public institutions like the government was because of the publishing of the Pentagon Papers. This series of government documents that were supposed to be classified, essentially showed that the US federal government had been lying about the progress the US was making in the Vietnam War. These documents caused outrage all over the country, as thousands of American men were drafted into this military conflict for what seemed like a failed mission.
Answer:
Yorktown
<h2>
What made the Battle of Yorktown significant?</h2>
There were three British armies in the US at the time. One was in New York, an island that the British Navy had protected from invasion. The French declaration of war had greatly aided the Continental Army's pursuit of them there in 1778, which prevented them from landing nearby.
Georgia and South Carolina each had the southern garrison force. The southern Continental Army had recently engaged in two engagements and a siege. All of them were won by the British, but only after they had stripped the garrisons of their weapons and supplies while the local militias had destroyed the garrisons (as planned). The "victorious" British discovered that they only held<em> Charleston </em>and <em>Savannah</em>, both of which were under siege.
The last mobile army the British possessed was in action, essentially frightening the countryside and inflaming the already hostile local populace. Cooperation between the US and France had always ended in failure, but at<em> Yorktown,</em> the French more than made up for it by contributing two fleets and the majority of the troops.
The British had no mobile forces after <em>Yorktown</em>, and in fact, the garrisons in <em>Savannah</em> and <em>Charleston</em> were evacuated by ship to support New York. George Hanover wanted to continue the struggle and enlist more soldiers, but nobody else in government was that dim. It was obvious that the<em> best </em>course of action was to work out a separate peace with the US before defeating the <em>French, Spanish, and Dutch</em>. that they did.

Answer:
b. two new nations - a Hindu India and a Muslim Pakistan
Explanation:
The decolonization of India also meant partition of India. Instead of being granted independence and be one country, the Indian subcontinent got divided into two nations initially, India and Pakistan, and later a third one, Bangladesh. The division was made on religious basis and to avoid internal conflicts, so the Muslims were in a separate country, and the Hindus in separate country. The things didn't worked pout as planned though, and immediately lot of conflicts started between the two countries, and the most affected were the people that got into one of those countries but were not part of the dominant religion, with millions of people being killed, injured, dislocated.
America's foreign policy goals changed for several different reasons. One of the reasons why it changed were because of new threats to democracy. For example, World War II (1939-1945) brought in the reign of dictators all over Europe. Along with this, the US was attacked by the Japanese Empire at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. These different factors caused America to get involved with World War II to help the allied powers.
After World War II, the US wanted to stop the spread of communism. This policy, known as containment, reflected America's fear of the growing power of the Soviet Union (a communist superpower at this time). To stop communism from spreading, the US got involved in foreign conflicts like the Korean War. The US was trying to stop communism from spreading into South Korea.
