6 0

I found an excerpt with the above question. It also had choices.

The excerpt goes like this:
I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures... If we falter in our leadership, we may endanger the peace of the world - and we shall surely endanger the welfare of our own nation. - President Harry Truman, 1947

The choices given were:

a. Regional wars in South America

b. The spread of communism

c. Civil disobedience in U.S. cities

d. The formation of the United Nations

e. The rise of the military industrial complex

Based on the excerpt, the threat President Truman was referring to was:

B. THE SPREAD OF COMMUNISM.

This refers to the French dynasty in the 6th-9th centuries, led by such people as Charles Martel and Charlemagne.

scZoUnD [109]

That would be the Carolingian dynasty. "Carolingian" is a word stemming from medieval Latin, "karolingi," meaning "descendant of Charles." ("Carol" and "Charles" are essentially the same name in different languages.) So those who came after Charles Martel in his family line get the name "Carolingian."

By the way, Charles "Martel" is Charles plus his nickname -- Carolus Martellus (in Latin) means "Charles The Hammer." Think of it like a wrestlers' nickname, but here we're talking a strong warrior who rose to power by winning battles.

Charlemagne, the most famous member of the Carolingian dynasty, is "Carolus Magnus" (in Latin) or "Charles the Great." Personally, I like to call him "Big Chuckie" ... but I think I'm the only one who refers to him that way. ;-)
