Answer:

B. A North Vietnamese ship fired on an American ship.

Explanation:

While on a spionage mission, a US electronic surveillance ship, the Maddox, was attacked by three North Vietnamese torpedo boats on August 2, 1964. The Maddox shot warning shots and asked for help. F-8 Jets were sent from a nearby carrier; one Vietnamese boat was badly damaged. The next day, the actions escalated and the American response was stronger. In the following days, president Lyndon B. Johnson asked for and got a Senate resolution (the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution) that gave him powers to fight a war in Vietnam.

Luden [163]

The example of an ancient Arabian state that traded extensively and controlled territories on the East African coast can best be used as evidence of "the long-term continuities in state-building in coastal East Africa."

This is because long-term state-building involves trade relations and commerce, among others, such as politics and economics.

Thus, information of extended trades between the Arabian state and the East African coast shows long-term state-building between the two regions.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option B. "the long-term continuities in state-building in coastal East Africa."

sineoko [7]

The correct answer is D) Western Desert.

The physical feature that is located west of the Libyan Desert is the so called “Western Desert.”

Indeed the Lybian desert is part of the famous Sahara Desert. The Lybian portion of the desert is divided into two, the Eastern part and the western part. It is considered to be the hottest and driest desert in the world. To the west of this desertic zone we also find the region known as the Ubari Sand Sea and Sabha. In this region of the desert there are also oases and mountains. It is not an easy place for people to live in and you really need to be a native expert in the region to succesfully cross the western desert.
