Answer 24

Use the graph below showing the number of wounded killed and missing for the nations involved in the Korean War to answer the following question.

Which of the following is a reasonable interpretation of this information?

Chinese casualties were high because most of the fighting took place on the North Korean/Chinese border.

United States casualties were very low because American units did not actively participate in the fighting.

Korean civilian deaths were very high because the fighting took place on Korea's soil.

North Korea had the smallest number of deaths due to the high quality of their medical care.

Answer 25

it is c because they were on korean soil. a is no because that is incorrect as there would have been chinese civilian deaths. not b the us did actively participate. not d as they had a high number of deaths not the smallest.

Answer 26

uhm i think its c

Okay, that's what I just saw


Which cause and effect relationship is correctly matched?

communists rule North Korean—China and the Soviet Union back North Korea

Why are the wars in Vietnam and Korea better remembered in the United States than other proxy wars?

because the United States lost these wars

because the United States won these wars

* because many Americans died in these wars

because these were the longest proxy wars

3-a
not sure about 1 or 2 but i think that you did get 1 wrong.

Answer 42

and if you wouldn't mind, can you explain the correct answers?

Answer 43

I can't really help you there, sorry. I only guessed the answers, and when I submitted them, they were correct.

Answer 44

there were more deaths in south vietnam in the chart so that is where more fighting took place. - question 3.

we would not remember about losing a war or a long proxy war. we could be remembering it because we won or because lots of deaths. I do not know how many died so i am unsure. - question 2

communists rule North Korean—China and the Soviet Union back North Korea - this seems right because of the communists. i have never done this test or the lessons so i do not know about this question.

Use the graph below showing the cost of wars in the 20th century to answer the following question.

Which is the best explanation for why the Cold War is not included in this chart?

Since the Cold War didn't involve fighting, there was no money budgeted or lost in fighting the Cold War.

Because the Cold War is just another name for the Vietnam War, that cost is included in the graph.
