Answer:

In general, they were able to find out what his last meal was in his stomach, since he was so well preserved. In fact, he's the oldest and most well preserved mummy to be discovered.

They also learned he was killed by a blow to the head, perhaps by an enemy tribesman. They also gained knowledge of his burial rituals and a clear view on everyday life during the prehistoric age.

They've also been able to extract blood from him, the oldest blood sample ever retrieved. It sheds new light on his death and may change the way police study blood found in modern crime scenes.

During the Cold War, the United States was focused on the foreign policy of containment. This idea focuses on stopping the spread of communism on an international scale. This policy explains why the US got involved in Cuba and Vietnam.

In Cuba, Fidel Castro and his followers overthrew Batista and established a communist government. Along with this, Castro established a good trading relationship with the Soviet Union. This resulted in the US attempting to overthrow Castro through the Bay of Pigs Invasion. However, this mission failed and only increased Castro's power and influence in Cuba.

As for Vietnam, the US was always interested in what was happening there, as they were afraid the communist system in North Vietnam would spread to the democratic country of South Vietnam. This act gave President Lyndon B. Johnson the power to take all necessary measures to protect US interests in Vietnam and to increase military action if needed.
