How did the launch of Sputnik affect the American public?

It prompted Congress to investigate communist infiltration in the federal government.

It made many Americans realize that communism was not an inferior economic system.

It raised fears that the Soviet Union could drop a nuclear bomb directly on the United States.

It showed that the U.S.S.R was more interested in scientific development than in an arms race.

Answer 12

Which one do you think?

Answer 13

I don't think it is A or C. I feel like D is the most possible one.

Answer 14

You have got to be kidding!!! You think Russia was more interested in scientific development than in an arms race??? An arms race was exactly what they wanted and got until Ronald Reagan beat them at their own game and caused the collapse of the Soviet Union. You had better start studying. I feel like I am taking your exam for you and I didn't even take the course.

Answer 15

; ~; I'm sorry. It's just... -sighs heavily- If we're talking about the cold war, then I do know what is going on. But during the Sputnik, America freaked out and created NASA because they wanted to beat Russia to the game.

Answer 16

But, I don't feel like it can be C, because they already had that fear whenever Russia had taken over the missile bases in Cuba.

Answer 17

C

Answer 18

All of these answers are just confusing instead of understandable.

Answer 19

What do you mean it's C!?! Why would they /NOW/ be worried about the missiles, if they already had Cuba to THREATEN America with the nukes. That doesn't make any sense!!

Answer 20

When was Sputnik launched?

Answer 21

It was launched in 1957, and the cold war began in 1947 through 1991.

Answer 22

When was the Cuban missile crisis?

Answer 23

The Cuban Missile Crisis was in 1962.....

Answer 24

So why do you say that it couldn't be C?

Answer 25

Well, I guess it does make sense now...

Answer 26

How about this one? I have no idea what the answer can be for it at all...? @Mertsj
