How did the My Lai incident shape public opinion of the war in Vietnam?

History
1 answer:
faust18 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

I'm going to ask you a question. It is not a very nice one. How would you feel if you found out that your next door neighbor's son was a mass murderer?

I don't know how public opinion divided even though I was in the Unites States when it happened. Some people believed it was the tragic result of war it self.

Some were shocked: they thought of the American Soldier as a noble creature incapable of such brutality, such thoughtless and immoral murder.  The truth likely lies between these two points of view. Certainly President Nixon did not think William Calley's actions warranted the death penalty and that is a very telling observation. If ever there was a political animal that could assess public opinion and act on it, that person would be Richard Nixon. I think the die was set long before My Lai.

Which side appeared to be stronger at the beginning of the Civil War?
lora16 [44]

The correct answer is the North because of its well-established government.

Before the Civil War, the United States already had a well-established government for over 70 years. However, the South, had to develop their own system of government, own military forces, and own supplies before they could successfully fight the Union army.

While the economies of countries like the United States are generally considered capitalist they are not pure market economies
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The characteristic of a capitalist economy is  private ownership of businesses and means of production. It depends on free market for income prices and distribution of goods. while a socialist economy is characterised by government intervention for allocating the resources among its populations, prices are determined by the government.

Most of the countries today are mixed economies in which features of both capitalist and socialist economies are utilised as pure free market economies are prone to slowdowns,  such a slowdown started in October 1929 in US. After that US government started to intervene in economic activities to achieve social aims. Mixed economies maintain private ownership and control of the means of production under government regulation, some industries are also under government control to  produce public goods.

<em>US is a mixed economy.</em>
