Answer:

The winds of the Cold War blew very strongly in Asia and in the world. The US had sent its forces to Korea to stop what it saw a move of communist expansion and aggression in the 1950s.

It was a reaction that followed the tenets of the containment doctrine that said that the US should employ military, economic and diplomatic means to contain the Soviet Union and the expasion of communism around the world. Besides, the Eisenhower administration had adopted the domino theory, which held that if one country of Asia fell into communist hands, other countries in the region would follow soon.

After the French military defeat in 1954 by communist Vietnamese forces and the end of colonial rule in the mid-1950s, the USA took a larger role in Southeast Asia. The Geneva Accords called for nationwide elections in Vietnam, but fears of a communist victory made Washington opt for not holding the vote. The main goal of American political and military engagement in the Vietnamese civil war to support the pro-Western South Vietnam was the same as in Korea: to stop the expansion of communism.  After the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident, the US escalated its military presence in Vietnam. In 1965, there were over half a million US troops there.

Briefly describe what Europe, East Asia, or the Americas looked like going into the mid to late 18th century.
Alexxx [7]

1 – EUROPE:

1.1 – In 1760, the Industrial Revolution was limited, first, to England. There were the emergence of cotton fabric industries, with the use of mechanical looms. At that time the improvement of steam engines contributed to the continuation of the Revolution.

1.2 - The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that emerged during the eighteenth century in Europe, which advocated the use of reason (light) against the old regime (darkness) and preached greater economic and political freedom.

Some thinkers became famous and stood out for their works and ideas in this period. Examples: Voltaire, Rousseau and John Locke ( considered the father of enlightment).  

2 – CHINA :

In the mid of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century, the structure of Asian trade changed substantially. Trade relations between Asia and Europe accounted for a greater volume of goods and greater financial value than Asia-Asia trade, with the opium trade in Southeast Asia (Macau) being the largest among Europeans, especially the British, and the Chinese Empire.

3 – AMERICA :

Seven Years' War

This war occurred between England and France between the years 1756 and 1763. It was a war for possession of territories in North America and England was victorious. Even so, the metropolis decided to recover the losses of the colonists' battles that inhabited, mainly, the colonies of the north. With the rise of metropolitan taxes and taxes, settlers made protests and demonstrations against England.

The British King, George III, continued to adopt increasing restrictive measures, especially after the First Congress in Philadelphia in 1774. The colony revolt was boosting, which influenced the independence process.

In 1776, settlers gathered at the Second Congress in Philadelphia aiming to achieve  independence. During the congress, Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. However, England did not accept the independence of its colonies and declared war. The War of Independence, which occurred between 1776 and 1783, was won by the United States with the support of France and Spain.
