Option 1:
a.) The US policy of containment stated that they would contain communism to prevent it from spreading into the other countries. This can be seen in the Korean and Vietnam War because the US fought to stop the others from spreading the idea of communism.
b.) The agreements that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis was the idea of open skies. Each country would disarm their nukes and other atomic weapons and allow the skies to be open for “surveillance.” This, however, ended up failing as a US pilot was shot down after “surveying” the skies. The interesting thing about this is that the US president was already getting rid of all the atomic bombs in the US, but told the SU that they were not going to disarm. This scared the SU into disarming.
c.) in my opinion, I believe this containment policy failed. The US was unable to stop communism as it spread to china. The US tried hard to stop this spread but ultimately failed.

Option 2:
a.) The causes of the Korean War include the fear of spreading communism. North Korea were communist and South Korea were not. Just as the US were going through imperialism, North Korea was too. This caused them to want to spread the idea of communism. They attacked South Korea, so the US lead the counter attack and pushed the North Korean forces back.
b.) Due to the lack of support, the US lost the Vietnam war. There were many factors that contributed to this, making the Americans question the real intentions of the war. For example, the Tet Offensive was a turning point in the war. The war was almost over, and Johnson told the public they were winning, but when the US attacked Vietnam on the Vietnamese New year, they lost support. There was a request for 200,000 more troops and the US people saw this as an act of desperation. There was also the My Lai massacre where innocent Vietnamese citizens- mostly children and women- were killed by US soldiers for no reason. This was all covered up by the US government. The war eventually ended when Kissinger negotiated with north Vietnam. The US ended the longest known war and the last few troops leave Vietnam in 1973. South Vietnam surrendered in 1976, which is considered a loss because the US unsuccessfully helped them.
c.) same as option 1

Renaissance artists wanted to celebrate human _________
vfiekz [6]

The correct answer is experiences

The Renaissance Artists represented the most important figures of the Renaissance Movement in Italy, of which stand out: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Rafael Sanzio.

Renaissance art valued the cultural aspects of man and nature, and was essentially focused on the retaking of classical Greco-Roman models.

Based on naturalism, rationalism and hedonism, it represented a watershed in that the art of the Renaissance brought technical and thematic innovations, for example, the emergence of perspective, rather than the prior art (straight plane).

What role did teenagers play during the Holocaust? Minimum of 5 sentences.
amm1812

Answer:

Thousands of Jewish children survived this brutal carnage, however, many because they were hidden. With identities disguised, and often physically concealed from the outside world, these youngsters faced constant fear, dilemmas, and danger. Theirs was a life in shadows, where a careless remark, a denunciation, or the murmurings of inquisitive neighbors could lead to discovery and death. The Nazis advocated killing children of “unwanted” or “dangerous” groups either as part of the “racial struggle” or as a measure of preventative security. The Germans and their collaborators killed children for these ideological reasons and in retaliation for real or alleged partisan attacks.
