Which answer choice BEST explains Twain's view of American expansionism?

History
1 answer:
RoseWind [281]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D)  He believed the country ignored the interests of other peoples and the  common good, instead focusing on its own global standing.

Explanation:

Samuel Langhorne Clements, a.k.a. Mark Twain discusses his opinion of the purchase of the Philippine Islands by the United States in his "Mark Twain in Clover / Joseph in the Land of Cornbread and Chicken." And in his quote, he seems to be critical of the way the US dealt with or chose to get the island which is not based on the good of the people but merely a desire to be at par with the European nations.

Twain comments,<em> "It was just a  case of this country buying its way into good society. . . . [the US] just wanted to be like the aristocratic  countries of Europe which have possessions in foreign waters." </em>He even seems to suggest the absurd and hilarious motive behind the purchase, comparing it to<em> "an American heiress  buying a Duke or an Earl."</em> This shows his real opinion of the exchange, which he believed to be done solely on the pretext of being victorious over Spain and freeing the oppressed but in reality, a means to be on par with other European nations.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Please need help now.<br><br> How was the Vietnam war different from the Korean War?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The Vietnam war was a colonial revolution rather than a civil war

Explanation:

  • The war in Vietnam was a war fought between 1955 and 1975 to prevent the reunification of Vietnam under a socialist or communist government. In this war the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) participated, which was against the communists, with the support of the United States and other allied nations of the United States against the local guerrillas of the National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam ( Viet Cong) and the Army of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), backed by China and the Soviet Union. The conflict began with an attempt to unify the two Vietnam in a single coalition government between nationalists, communists and neutrals, according to the initial proposal. The actions of the United States to prevent this reunification, together with a succession of violent, corrupt and inefficient dictatorships imposed by the United States, provoked the armed uprising of several groups united under the self-styled National Liberation Front, Viet Cong, quickly supported by the then Soviet Union and Mao's China. Initially Saigon was losing ground.
  • The Korean War took place between 1950 and 1953. Its components were the Republic of Korea (or South Korea), supported by the armed forces of several countries commanded by the United States; and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (or North Korea), supported by the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union. The war was one of the earliest episodes of the Cold War. Excluding more than 3 million civilians and almost 15% of the population of the dead North, it constitutes one of the most bloodthirsty wars in history. Five years before, after the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to split Korea into two. They drew the border on the 38th parallel, leaving the North in charge of the Soviet Union and the South in charge of the United States. Each superpower controlled in its respective area the constitution of two new states that were under their respective orbits: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the north and the Republic of Korea in the south. Although negotiations were held for the reunification of Korea in the months before the war, the tension intensified with cross-border skirmishes and incursions on the 38th parallel. The escalation of tension degenerated into an open war when North Korea invaded South Korea on the 25th. June 1950.
