Great! All three are correct! :-)
To determine the correct answers to these questions, we can analyze each option and its connection to the historical context. Let's go through each question one by one:
Question 1: "Which of the following is a reason the United States became involved in affairs in the Middle East following World War II?"
The correct answer is option B. The United States became involved in the affairs of the Middle East following World War II to prevent oil-rich Arab nations from falling under Soviet influence. This involvement was primarily driven by the desire to maintain access to oil resources and curb Soviet expansion during the Cold War era.
Options A, C, and D are incorrect. Limiting Jewish immigration into the region was not a primary reason for American involvement in the Middle East. On the contrary, the United States supported the founding of a Jewish homeland in the region (option C is incorrect). Additionally, overthrowing dictatorships in Arab nations (option D) was not a principal objective for the United States during this period.
Question 2: "During the Cold War, a major goal of United States policy in Latin America was to..."
The correct answer is option C. During the Cold War, a major goal of United States policy in Latin America was to protect American financial investments in the region. This policy, known as the "Monroe Doctrine," aimed to prevent the influence of foreign powers, particularly the Soviet Union, in the Western Hemisphere.
Options A, B, and D are incorrect. Building nuclear weapons bases in Central America (option A) was not a primary objective of United States policy. Encouraging Latin American countries to join the United Nations (option B) was a broader diplomatic goal but not the main focus of US policy in the region. Similarly, although preventing Fidel Castro from taking over Cuba (option D) became a significant aspect of US foreign policy during the Cold War, it does not encompass the entire goal of US policy in Latin America.
Question 3: "What role did Rosa Parks play in the struggle for equal rights?"
The correct answer is option A. Rosa Parks played a significant role in the struggle for equal rights by helping spark the Montgomery bus boycott. In December 1955, Parks, an African American woman, refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus, leading to her arrest and subsequent protests that lasted over a year. The Montgomery bus boycott became a pivotal event in the civil rights movement and propelled Rosa Parks' role as an iconic figure in the fight for equality.
Options B, C, and D are incorrect. Rosa Parks did not argue the case of Brown v. Board of Education (option B), which was a landmark Supreme Court case that ended racial segregation in public schools. She also did not take part in the desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas (option C), which was an important event during the struggle for civil rights but involved other individuals. Additionally, Rosa Parks was not a leader in the Native American movement for equal rights (option D).
