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.

The Roman policy toward religion was one of _____
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

It is commonly said that there are only two guarantees in life — death and taxes — but what can be more taxing than the prospect of one’s own death? Ceasing to exist is an overwhelmingly terrifying thought and it is one which has plagued individuals for centuries. This ancient stressor has been addressed over time by a number of different religious explanations and affirmations. Arguably, this capacity to provide answers for fundamental questions is what defines religion. For instance, under Hindu belief one’s soul lives on after biological death and is reborn in a new body. Under Christian belief one can expect to live in a heavenly paradise once one’s time runs out on earth. These are just two examples, but the extension of the self beyond its physical expiration date is a common thread in religious texts.

These promises of new life and mystifying promise lands are not simply handed out to everyone, however. They require an individual to faithfully practice and participate in accordance to the demands of specific commandments, doctrines, rituals, or tenants. Furthermore, despite one’s own faith in the words of an ancient text, or the messages of a religious figure, an individual will remain exposed to the trials, tribulations, and discomforts that exist in the world. During these instances a theodicy — a religious explanation for such sufferings — can help keep one’s faith by providing justification as to why bad things happen to good, faithful people. Theodicy is an attempt to explain or justify the existence of bad things or instances that occur in the world, such as death, disaster, sickness, and suffering. Theodicies are especially relied on to provide reason as to why a religion’s God (or God-like equivalent) allows terrible things to happen to good people.
