b. the early successes of North Korea
c. the US threat to use nuclear weapons
d. the UN victories in the northern peninsula

The correct answer is B) the early successes of North Korea.

What prompted China to enter the war directly was the early successes of North Korea.

It seemed that China could be a natural ally to North Korea after the result and composition of the international order after World War II.

Under the rule of Mao Ze Dong, China had changed its government to Communist ideology. The Soviet Union was a primary ally of China and heavily influence the entrance of Communism under the rule of Mao.

So on November 25, 1950, Mao decided to enter the Korean War supporting North Korea. The Chinese troops aggressively attacked troops from the United Nations and the United States. General Douglass never saw it coming but to his surprise, more than 250,000 soldiers had been sent to attack the troops at his command.

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
