it's B
Right.
To determine the correct answer to the question "What was the Eisenhower Doctrine?", let's break down each option and eliminate the incorrect ones:
A.) The United States would liberate the countries behind the iron curtain.
This option is incorrect because the Eisenhower Doctrine did not specifically address liberating countries behind the iron curtain. The iron curtain refers to the division between the communist Eastern European countries and the non-communist Western European countries during the Cold War.
B.) The United States would use force to help any Middle Eastern nation threatened by communism.
This option is the correct answer. The Eisenhower Doctrine, which was announced by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in January 1957, stated that the United States would provide military assistance, including the use of force, to any Middle Eastern nation threatened by communism. This was a response to the increasing influence of the Soviet Union in the region during the Cold War.
C.) The United States would recognize the People’s Republic of China.
This option is incorrect because the Eisenhower Doctrine did not address the recognition of the People's Republic of China. The United States did not recognize the Communist government of China until the early 1970s.
D.) The United States would nationalize the Suez Canal.
This option is also incorrect. The Eisenhower Doctrine did not involve the nationalization of the Suez Canal. The Suez Crisis, which involved the nationalization of the canal by Egypt, occurred in 1956, before the announcement of the Eisenhower Doctrine.
Therefore, the correct answer is B.) The United States would use force to help any Middle Eastern nation threatened by communism.
