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.

Why is the renaissance such an important period in world history?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: The Renaissance (UK: /rɪˈneɪsəns/ rin-AY-sənss, US: /ˈrɛnəsɑːns/ REN-ə-sahnss) is a period in European history marking the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity and covering the 15th and 16th centuries, characterized by an effort to revive and surpass ideas and achievements of classical antiquity. It occurred after the Crisis of the Late Middle Ages and was associated with great social change. In addition to the standard periodization, proponents of a "long Renaissance" may put its beginning in the 14th century and its end in the 17th century. or The Renaissance also saw within it a period known as the Age of Discovery, where voyagers launched expeditions to travel the globe, discovering whole new shipping routes to the Americas, India and the Far East, influencing our ideas further.
