To answer the first question about how America's involvement changed after the fall of France and the air war against Britain, we will go through each answer choice and see which one is correct.
1. Congress declared war on Germany: This is not correct as the United States did not declare war on Germany after the fall of France and the air war against Britain. The United States did not enter World War II until after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
2. There was no formal change of policy: This is a possibility, as there might not have been any formal change of policy regarding America's involvement in the war. However, we should explore the other answer choices to find a more accurate answer.
3. American advisors trained the resistance: This answer is not likely as the United States did not have a significant presence in Europe during this time to train resistance movements. It was primarily focused on providing support to Britain through the Lend-Lease Act.
4. The President admitted "disappointment": This answer is also not likely as it does not indicate any change in America's involvement. The President's admission of "disappointment" does not provide specific information about policy changes.
Based on the given options, the most accurate answer would be: There was no formal change of policy.
Moving on to the second question about the policy that stated the US would assist any nation opposing Communism, we will analyze each answer choice.
1. Totalitarian Expansionism: This is not the correct answer as it does not specifically address the US assisting any nation opposing Communism.
2. The Lend-Lease Act: The Lend-Lease Act, passed in 1941, allowed the United States to supply its allies (including the Soviet Union) with war materials during World War II. However, it did not specifically mention assisting nations opposing Communism.
3. The Truman Doctrine: The Truman Doctrine, announced in 1947, stated that the United States would provide political, military, and economic assistance to any country threatened by communism. This is the correct answer as it directly addresses the US assisting nations opposing Communism.
4. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution: This answer is not correct as the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution specifically refers to the escalation of US involvement in the Vietnam War.
Therefore, the correct answer is: The Truman Doctrine.
Lastly, for the question on how President Truman resolved his differences with General MacArthur, we will evaluate each answer choice.
1. Appointed him Secretary of War: This answer is not correct as President Truman did not appoint General MacArthur as Secretary of War.
2. Appointed him Vice President: This answer is also not correct as President Truman did not appoint General MacArthur as Vice President.
3. Fired his wife from the Post Office: This answer is not correct as President Truman did not fire General MacArthur's wife from the Post Office.
4. Fired him: This is the correct answer as President Truman ultimately removed General MacArthur from his position as the commander of US forces in Korea due to their differences in strategy and approach.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Fired him.
