How did American effort to contain communism influence their involvement in Vietnam

History
1 answer:
Rudiy273 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The American effort to contain communism was the main reason why the U.S. got involved in the Vietnam War.

Explanation:

After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union became the two superpowers of the world. The U.S. represented western democracy and capitalism, and the Soviet Union represented one-party rule and communism.

The two countries competed for global influence, and for this reason, the United States was wary of the possible spread of communist ideas, and the growth of the Soviet Sphere.

When a communist insurgence emerged in Vietnam, the U.S. government became paranoid that it would spread to several neighboring countries like Camboya or Malasyia, in a geopolitical doctrine known as the dominio effect. This was the main reason why the U.S. got involved in the Vietnam war, in order to stop the spread of communism in Vietnam, and thus, the possible spread to other countries.

What did the Pan-African Congress accomplish?
tangare [24]

The correct answer is - c. It helped a few African colonies gain independence from their rulers.

The Pan-African Congress was taking place with the purpose of making Africa a free continent, to help the Africans have their own nations, to be free, to have their rights respected. The goal of the Pan-African Congress started to become reality after 1945. Initially few countries gained independence, without bloodshed, with the Pan-African Congress being very influential in that process, which made the organization a reputation as a peacemaker and peacekeeping organization. That initial gain of independence of some countries in Africa was followed by a chain reaction, where one by one, all of the countries in Africa gained independence.

Why did members of the 3rd estate dislike the king and queen?
Lemur [1.5K]
Members of the 3rd Estate in France had all sorts of reasons to dislike the king and queen -- King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette -- in the days leading up to the French Revolution.  Let me count the ways (well, a few of them):
1. Louis XVI was not a kingly figure.  He preferred to be out in the woods hunting or at a workbench taking apart a clock than doing the tasks of royal government.  He wasn't the sort of person to inspire the confidence of the people in him.
2. Marie Antoinette was an Austrian princess, and the French people despised the Austrians. France and Austria had been enemies for years, and this attempt to bring the two countries together through a marriage wasn't popular with the people.
3. Louis and Marie had sex problems.  You'd think that would be a private matter, but when you're the king and queen it's your job to produce an heir to the throne, and they weren't managing to do that.
4. Both Louis and Marie spent way too much money -- money that came from the taxpayers (the members of the 3rd Estate).  Louis spent it on the lavish palace life of Versailles and on wars.  (His government had given a huge loan to the Americans to help them fight vs. Britain.)  Marie spent money on frills and dresses and jewelry and whatnot.
5. They didn't seem to know the people's situation or care about them much. They didn't want to be bothered with concerns about the poor people of France.

I could keep counting more ways, but that's enough for now!
