Answer:

The Battle of Okinawa began on April 1, 1945 with the American invasion of the Japanese island of Okinawa and ended on June 30, 1945. From the Japanese perspective, Okinawa was the last line of defense to stand in the way of an Allied invasion of the main Japanese islands. Accordingly, the Allies planned to use Okinawa for air support for the planned invasion of the main islands. The fighting ended with the capture of the island by American troops. More than two-thirds of the Japanese defenders died in the course of the battle. There were also high casualties among the civilian population and on the American side. But it was also the first time that Japanese soldiers surrendered by the thousands.

Why did Prime Minister Nehru's decision to invade the Portuguese colony of Goa, put President Kennedy in a difficult position?

Archy [21]

Answer:

Nehru's attack on Goa would weaken capitalist forces worldwide, facilitating the spread of communism. This hindered the policy advocated by Kennedy.

Explanation:

Nehru was the prime minister of India and in addition to having to defend the country from the communist threat that was growing because of China and Russia, he had to defend the country from European colonialism.

The Goa region, in Inida, was still dominated and occupied by the Portuguese, forcing Nehru to order an attack to be made in that region, so that the Portuguese could be expelled. President Kennedy saw this as a major threat to capitalist forces, as Portuguese was a capitalist ally and India too. If a capitalist country provoked another capitalist country, it would make capitalism seen as a weak policy and incapable of promoting peace. This would allow communism to move forward with great force.
