The main reason for the percentage increase in the United States defense spending in 1950 was <u>A.  the nuclear arms race ...</u>

<h3>What is Defense Spending?</h3>

Defense spending is the total budgeted expenditure for maintaining and equipping the United States armed forces.  It also includes the costs of developing and testing modern weapons for warfare.

<h3>Purpose of Defense Spending</h3>

The increased defense spending in 1950 was to counter the threats posed by communism hoisted on the world by the Soviet Union.

Thus, the increased defense spending in 1950, apart from the nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union, was not meant to:

  • Rebuild Japan's military forces.
  • Increase troops for the Korean War.
  • Finance the United Nations peace-keeping troops.

Answer:

In his farewell address, President George Washington warn against becoming overly involved with foreign politics.

Explanation:

In his Farewell Address, Washington warned against foreign influence in domestic affairs and US interference in European affairs. He warned against bitter partisanship in domestic politics and urged men to go beyond partisanship and serve the common good. He warned against "permanent alliances with any part of the outside world," and said the United States should focus primarily on American interests. He advised friendship and trade with all nations, but cautioned against participating in European wars and entering into long-term "entanglements" of alliances.

The Farewell Address quickly established the values of America regarding religion and foreign affairs.

What are 2 negatives to practicing imperialism?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

War and losing allies

Explanation:

Although taking over more land may be better, these countries being taken over or turned democratic may result in that country waging war. also other allies of the acting party may also leave because those allies don't want anything to do with other countries purely trying to protect themselves. a good example of this is us Americans. *he he.

So if you go around the world and talk about america around business owners and politicians, they'll be likely to shun you for it, because we are likely to police the world in any way we can trying to eliminate communism. This results in few allies and many enemies. Hope this helps.
