The United States decided to help South Korea mainly because of which of the following?
A need to create more equal trade
A need to keep a military base in Asia
A need to keep the Soviet Union out of Asia
A need to protect the American economy
I think it is either B or C
I would go with C)A need to keep the Soviet Union out of Asia.
Hope I helped!
Hey! I would like to know why you chose it.
Oh sorry, because I feel like that is overall a more important cause that simply keeping a military base. Also to keep the influence of communism under control and to protect the future of American economy.
Hoped I helped :)
well darn i missed 8 out of 29 on the test :( :( :|
What r the answers to the test
To determine why the United States decided to help South Korea, we need to analyze the historical context of the situation. In the 1950s, the Korean War broke out between North Korea (backed by the Soviet Union and China) and South Korea (supported by the United Nations, led by the United States).
By eliminating option A (a need to create more equal trade), we can focus on the remaining options.
Option B suggests that the United States decided to help South Korea to maintain a military base in Asia. This is partially correct, as the U.S. did indeed want to preserve its military presence in the region. However, it alone does not fully explain why the U.S. intervened in the Korean War.
Option C proposes that the United States intervened to keep the Soviet Union out of Asia. This is a significant factor in understanding U.S. involvement in the Korean War. At the time, the Cold War was in full swing, with the United States and the Soviet Union competing for influence around the world. The U.S. viewed the Soviet Union's backing of North Korea as a potential threat to its strategic interests in Asia.
Considering these factors, the most accurate answer to the question is option C: a need to keep the Soviet Union out of Asia. The United States wanted to prevent the spread of communism and Soviet influence in the region. However, it is worth noting that maintaining a military base in Asia (option B) was also a consideration for the U.S., but it was not the primary reason for U.S. assistance to South Korea.
