What was Trujillo's relationship like with the United States

Answer:

Explanation:

Documentation on relations between the United States and the Dominican Republic is presented in an accompanying microform publication. A narrative summary, based upon that documentation, is provided below, along with a purport list of the documents published in the microform supplement. The document numbers cited in the summary correspond to the document numbers in the purport list and the microform supplement.

Generalissimo Rafael Trujillo had ruled the Dominican Republic since 1930. While promoting himself as “the Benefactor,” Trujillo’s rule had become increasingly harsh and dictatorial. His attempts to strike at exiled dissidents in the United States had caused serious strain in relations with Washington. The Eisenhower administration faced one overwhelming problem in the Dominican Republic: how to ease Trujillo out of power without allowing pro-Fidel Castro/anti-American elements to take over.

In late January 1958, the Director of the Office of Middle American Affairs surveyed U.S.-Dominican relations and highlighted the principal U.S. interests in the Dominican Republic: its strategic position in relation to the Panama Canal, a U.S. guided missile tracking station on the northeast coast, and general Dominican support for U.S. policies. The Director recommended that U.S. Ambassador Joseph S. Farland meet with Trujillo in an attempt to normalize relations. Farland was encouraged by his discussion with the Generalissimo in early February to believe that a better relationship was possible. (DR–1) Trujillo, however, proved sensitive to U.S. congressional criticism and supposed slights against his family so that relations did not improve markedly. (DR–2, 3)

On June 14, 1959, a small group of insurgents invaded the Dominican Republic by air. The Dominican Army eventually defeated the invasion. (DR–8) Notwithstanding the fact that invasion did not generate popular support, the Department of State became increasingly concerned that the Trujillo regime was about to fall. In January 1960, Department officials raised the issue at the National Security Council. [Page 807]Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Livingston Merchant told the Council that the U.S. objective was to ensure that a successor regime would be friendly to the United States and not sympathetic to Castro or communism. The problem was, according to Merchant, that Trujillo had so stifled moderate opposition that most dissident groups were either Communist or Communist-infiltrated. The Department recommended that U.S. policy during the coming months should be to coalesce non-Communist business, professional, and academic groups into an opposition. (DR–10)

Complete the following paragraphs with the best transition words.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The Beat generation of poetry flowed from another artistic movement, in the other words, that of the bebop movement in jazz music. Bebop was outside  the mainstream and first appreciated most fully in France rather than the U. S. Among its greatest ambassadors were saxophonist

Charlie "Bird Parker, trumpeters Dizzie Gillespie and Miles Davis, and the pianist Thelonious Monk. Monk, along with Gillespie, founded

the Minton Playhouse in the Harlem district of New York City.

Eventually, the venue became a gathering place for not only jazz

musicians, but also poets who were drawn to the freedom they heard in the music played there.

Nevertheless, Beat poets  sought to liberate poetry by bringing it back to the streets," sometimes reading their poetry to the accompaniment of bebop.

Explanation:

Transition words are words used in English to link words, phrases,  sentences, or one idea to the next.  Thus, they help to build up coherence between one sentence and another.

There are many transition words.  They include: Moreover, Therefore, In addition, Besides, etc.
