<u>Question 1: </u>
Answer- D

Whereas, countries that are poor and full of poverty create conditions that allow corruption and unstable governments. These types of living conditions inevitably turn into war.
<u>Question 2: </u>
Answer- D
Explanation- When East Timor was invaded by its neighbor, Indonesia, united forces were sent in to keep the peace. However, the United States did not send troops to this region. Instead, the U.S. used diplomatic tactics and told Indonesia that it would lose future financial aid from the U.S. if it did not leave the country of East Timor. Thus peace was brought to East Timor through military force by others and diplomatic tactics by the U.S.
<u>Question 3: </u>
Answer- A
Explanation- The United States has a diverse population where people of different ethnic, religious, political and social groups have banded together and formed a democracy that has become a super power as we enter the 21st century. These ideals have been formed by these differnet groups uniting together as they seek to live in harmony and prosperity. The spread of these values has become a part of America's foreign policy.
<u>Question 4: </u>
Answer- D
Explanation- The United States has several allies in war-torn regions of the world that do not support human rights for all of its citizens. One of these is Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. While this country has supported the United States many times since the Cold War this country has a poor record in regards to human rights for all its own citizens. In the coming years the U.S. must determine how it will handle such matters and still keep the peace with allies such as Saudia Arabia.
