Christianity and colonialism are often closely associated because Catholicism and Protestantism were the religions of the European colonial powers[1] and acted in many ways as the "religious arm" of those powers.[2] According to Edward Andrews, Christian missionaries were initially portrayed as "visible saints, exemplars of ideal piety in a sea of persistent savagery". However, by the time the colonial era drew to a close in the last half of the twentieth century, missionaries became viewed as "ideological shock troops for colonial invasion whose zealotry blinded them",[3] colonialism's "agent, scribe and moral alibi."

And then there's the 19th century, of American thinkers, such as Emerson, William James, and Charles Peirce (pronounced "purse"). 

Then, there's the 18th century, but if influences are calibrated, Locke in the 17th, and Emerson and James in the 19th

Answer:

The right answer is: 1. Strong social opposition to the war. 2. President Richard Nixon´s desire to get reelected.

Explanation:

In the 1960s, a peace movement was born and developed into a formidable social and political force. Opposition to war in Vietnam was massive, and it effectively put pressure on US decision-makers and the course of the conflict. Besides, president Nixon wanted to fulfill his promise to sign a face-saving peace "with honor". Nixon wanted to win reelection in 1972, he calculated that getting a peace deal with the Communist Northern Vietnamese would help him achieve that goal.
