Answer:
The first U.S. troops entered Vietnam in March 1965.
Explanation:
The Vietnam War was a military conflict between North Vietnam on the one hand and the US and South Vietnam on the other, which took place in the territories of present-day Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The conflict began on November 1, 1955 after the first Indochina war and lasted until April 30, 1975, when Saigon fell. The war came as a result of the political and military situation during the Cold War, in which communist North Vietnam sought to annex the capitalist South Vietnam, which was under the political and military influence of the United States.
The first clashes began towards the end of the 1950s and became increasingly common in the early 1960s, so the US sent miltary advisers to South Vietnam. The numbers then tripled each year until the US sent a combat unit to South Vietnam in 1965. Fighting with the North Vietnamese Army and the Vietnamese then spread from the border areas to the interior of the country until they reached the peak of the Tet Offensive in 1968. In 1973, a truce was signed in Paris, after which the Americans withdrew from Vietnam. However, peace did not last long; after a year of relative slack, the war resumed where it ended, except that this time South Vietnam no longer had US aid. The last act of the Vietnam War was the fall of Saigon in April 1975, bringing the conflict to an end after twenty years. More than 1.4 million military personnel were killed in the war, about 6% of whom were members of the United States Armed Forces. Estimates of civilian casualties range from 2 million to 5.1 million.

- The assassination of Franz Ferdinand - June, 1914
- Germany invaded Belgium - August, 1914
- The sinking of the Lusitania - May, 1915
- The Sussex pledge - May, 1916
- The Zimmerman telegraph - sent in January, 1917
- US declaration of war on Germany and Central Powers - April, 1917
Explanation/details:
- When Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo in 1914 by Serbian nationalists, the reactions by the Austrian and Serbian governments kicked into gear various alliances that had been made. Russia stood ready to protect Serbia. Germany sided with Austria over against Russia. Before long the whole affair plunged Europe into war, pulling the other nations into the conflict in support of prewar alliances they had made.
- The military plans laid before World War I presupposed a major war between the countries which were tied together with alliances. Because the Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies, Germany thought if a war began it would need to fight on two fronts -- west and east. So German Field Marshall Alfred von Schlieffen drew up war plans that said attack France first, quickly, and then hold that territory while deploying forces to contend with Russia in the east. So when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, the first thing it did was to invade Belgium on its way to atacking France. Thus the war spread and became instantly a more global conflict.
- Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, <em>Lusitania,</em> which had happened in May, 1915. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the <em>Lusitania</em>, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship. After the <em>Sussex, </em>a French passenger ferry, was sunk in 1916, the US demanded and got a promise from Germany to stop their unrestricted submarine attacks. Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at that time by the Sussex Pledge. But two years, later, beginning February 1, 1917, the Germans resumed such attacks. This poised America to go to war.
- British intellegence intercepted and decoded a telegram (known as the "Zimmermann Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States. The revelation of this plan inflamed feelings in the United States. The telegram was sent in January, 1917. In March, 1917, German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann admitted the telegram was, in fact, sent by his office.
- In April, 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response to the German's submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram.
Answer:
As mentioned in the previous part of this lesson, momentum is a commonly used term in sports. When a sports announcer says that a team has the momentum they mean that the team is really on the move and is going to be hard to stop. The term momentum is a physics concept. Any object with momentum is going to be hard to stop. To stop such an object, it is necessary to apply a force against its motion for a given period of time. The more momentum that an object has, the harder that it is to stop. Thus, it would require a greater amount of force or a longer amount of time or both to bring such an object to a halt. As the force acts upon the object for a given amount of time, the object's velocity is changed; and hence, the object's momentum is changed.
The concepts in the above paragraph should not seem like abstract information to you. You have observed this a number of times if you have watched the sport of football. In football, the defensive players apply a force for a given amount of time to stop the momentum of the offensive player who has the ball. You have also experienced this a multitude of times while driving. As you bring your car to a halt when approaching a stop sign or stoplight, the brakes serve to apply a force to the car for a given amount of time to change the car's momentum. An object with momentum can be stopped if a force is applied against it for a given amount of time.
A force acting for a given amount of time will change an object's momentum. Put another way, an unbalanced force always accelerates an object - either speeding it up or slowing it down. If the force acts opposite the object's motion, it slows the object down. If a force acts in the same direction as the object's motion, then the force speeds the object up. Either way, a force will change the velocity of an object. And if the velocity of the object is changed, then the momentum of the object is changed.
Explanation:
Idk, law and order. Any answer options.
The question does not
provide any options so I will explain how the said statement led to the
founding of new colonies.<span>
Roger Williams who had shown dissent to Puritan beliefs by
declaring Indian's rights as well as separation of State and Church was exiled
from Massachusetts Bay Colony. He founded "Providence" and named it
so as he believed this was God's merciful providence for him and his followers.
<span>Another example is "Portsmouth" which was founded by </span>Anne Hutchinson. She was
exiled from Bay Colony for believing that faith alone can lead to salvation and
deeds are not important. </span>
Hope it helps:)
