Answer:
The correct answer is <u>B</u>: Congress declared war on Japan.
Explanation:
In 1941, Japan occupied Indochina and acquired valuable sources of material goods and materials. Their next plan was to attack East India, because of its oil sources. The US responded to this by an oil embargo that particularly hit the Japanese Navy. The Japanese government decided to occupy East India, although it brought them an armed conflict with Britain and the US.
As a further warning, the US government had moved most of its Pacific fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor. That was a great opportunity for Japan to gain dominance in the Pacific and conquer the rest of Asia.
On December 7, 1942, the US base (Pearl Harbor) was attacked by Japanese aircraft which damaged a large number of ships and aircraft. This attack, carried out without a formal war declaration, caused great anger among the American public and the Congress decided the USA should be involved in world events and declared war on Japan.
Answer:
1. First hand experience of poverty.
2. The United States was not invaded nor thoroughly destroyed.
3. Economic help.
Explanation:
1. Marshall came from a settler family in Virginia. His father suffered financial difficulties when George entered the Military Institute.
2. Marshall, who served in the first and in the second world war, had a more than average knowledge of the European continent. For him, having seen the destruction of Europe after world war II, he was aware that it might be difficult to explain the needs of millions of Europeans to Americans save at home in a country that didn´t suffer (civilians) like other countries did.
3. As my (grand)parents in the Netherlands once told me, the most difficult years of the world war came when it ended. There was nothing to eat.
The Netherlands, like most devastated European countries, urgently needed economically help in order to build up what was utterly destroyed.
Tip: look for the movie Europe by Lars von Trier.
