Answer:

Abolition of the Draft system.
War Powers Act.

Explanation:

The Vietnam War was a conflict between the forces of the Communist North Vietnamese along with their Viet Cong allies and the Capitalist South Vietnamese. The U.S. supported the South as they did not want communism to spread but had to leave when it became clear that the Communists would win. The war caused widespread dissent in the U.S. as many American soldiers died.

The War led to some consequences such as:

Abolition of the Draft system - As a result of the widespread criticism of the government for using a draft to increase the ranks of the U.S. army, the government finally abolished the draft. It is not impossible that the system will be used again but that possibility is highly unlikely and this was as a result of the Vietnam war.
War Powers Act - The war also led to the reduction of the war powers of the U.S. President with restrictions placed on how long they could engage the army in combat without Congressional approval.

Explain the relationship between World War II and the three-world order. African and Asian countries became part of the Third Wo

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

read below :)

Explanation:

Decolonization of Asia and Africa, mainly occurred during years 1945–1960.

World War II set the scenario for countries to seek independent movements that demanded autonomy.

Many former colonies had provided a significant source of soldiers and sources to the war effort in return for the promise of obtaining political independence.

Once the war was over, many revolutionary movements were supported by the Soviet Union, that saw this as an opportunity to spread socialist and communist influence on the former capitalist colonies.

Examples of this are Cuba, that directly received aid from the USSR, and Algeria, in Africa, with India as well in Asia as new countries that formed.

The Europeans were devastated and had to concentrate in recovering and reestablishing Europe so they did, in turn, were weakened and recognized the newly created and independent states as part of a more inclusive international policy.
