Please do not post this question again.
Yes, the correct answer is: The United States established new military bases around the world to thwart the missile gap.
Yes, the launching of a Soviet satellite had a significant impact on the United States, leading to the establishment of new military bases around the world to thwart the perceived missile gap.
To explain how to arrive at this answer, we can break down the options and eliminate incorrect ones:
1. The United States concentrating its efforts on the development of rockets is a possible consequence of the Soviet satellite launch, but it is not the most significant impact on the United States. This option focuses on the American response rather than the direct significance of the satellite launch itself.
2. The United States planning to eliminate high school to train soldiers to fight the Soviets is not a correct statement. There were no plans to eliminate high school education as a response to the Soviet satellite launch.
3. The United States establishing new military bases around the world to thwart the missile gap is the correct answer. Following the launch of the Soviet satellite, the United States was concerned about the perceived missile gap, which indicated that the Soviets were ahead in missile technology. In response, the United States increased its military presence around the world to counter the perceived threat.
4. The United States fearing the bomber gap created by Soviet advances is not the most accurate answer as the primary concern was with the missile gap, not the bomber gap.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3 - The United States established new military bases around the world to thwart the missile gap.
