Question

Why are the wars in Vietnam and Korea better remembered in the United States than other proxy wars? (5 points)

Answer 1

Because they were very prominent in the public eye, both were huge, formal wars where American troops went in and fought, not a case of locals armed with air dropped weapons.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Oh, in this case, it'd be the third choice. Technically, Korea was a stalemate, and neither war was formally "won" or "lost". And longest is irrelevant since Korea didn't go on too long compared to the Vietnam war. But many Americans did die.

Answer 7

Why did the United States eventually stop supporting South Africa? (5 points)

The government began enacting socialist land reforms.
Popular opinion turned against South African apartheid.
South Africa began taking arms and funds from the Soviets.
The American public stopped supporting African intervention.

Answer 8

First one, it'd definitely be the first one, England/France/Israel working against the wishes of the US made it seem like the US and it's allies were willing to force others to get what they wanted.

Answer 9

And I'm pretty sure it would have been the second one here. Popular opinion against apartheid started going down after Nelson Mandela made it clear what it did to people. I think.
