To match the places to the given descriptions, let's go through each one individually:
1. "This country's attack on its neighbor prompted UN forces to intervene."
- To find the answer, we can review historical events. One notable conflict that involved the intervention of UN forces was the Korean War, which began in 1950. North Korea attacked its neighbor, South Korea, prompting the United Nations to intervene. Therefore, the country in question is North Korea.
2. "In the 1980s, this nation was a world industrial leader as well as a major economic competitor of America."
- To identify this nation, we can look at historical records and economic data from the 1980s. During that period, one country often cited as a major industrial leader and economic competitor of the United States was Japan. Therefore, the country in question is Japan.
3. "In 1947, a new constitution proclaimed this country a socialist democratic republic."
- To determine the correct country, we can analyze the historical context and search for countries that became socialist democratic republics in 1947. In this case, the correct country is India.
4. "A nationalist government was established on this island after a Communist victory on mainland China."
- Identifying the country in question can be done by researching historical events and geopolitical changes. After the Communist victory in mainland China, the Nationalist government, led by Chiang Kai-shek, fled to the island of Taiwan and established its government there. Therefore, the country in question is Taiwan.
5. "Gained independence in 1947 after a military coup d'etat in Portugal."
- To find the country, we can review the events around 1947 and Portuguese colonization. In 1947, Burma (now known as Myanmar) gained independence from British colonial rule, not Portugal. Therefore, the country in question is Burma (Myanmar).
Matching the places to the descriptions:
- Japan: In the 1980s, this nation was a world industrial leader as well as a major economic competitor of America.
- Taiwan: A nationalist government was established on this island after a Communist victory on mainland China.
- North Korea: This country's attack on its neighbor prompted UN forces to intervene.
- Cambodia: -
- Burma: Gained independence in 1947 after a military coup d'etat in Portugal.
- China: -
