Which of the following  best  explains why the united states sent military aid to south vietnam in the 1950s?

The answer is: to help South Vietnam without committing US troops to a war

Explanation:

But what America didn't predict (or they predict, I believe), is that the interference in South Vietnam would become a conflict. After World War II, France left Vietnam and accepted it's asking for freedom. At that moment, Eastern Europe and some regions of Asia were under the communist influence zone (China introduced a communist regime in 1949). In the case of Vietnam, which was split into two parts (a capitalist, and a socialist/communist one), the problem was bigger. Somehow, the country didn't want to be separated, but be part of an influence zone, in this case, the Soviet zone. The threat of the communism be influent in so enormous territory (practically, a half part of the Asia continent, if we count China, the Korean peninsula, and Vietnam), America sent troops to South Vietnam to avoid an attach with the Soviet Union. Then, a war has begun.

if im not mistaken its a. collective emotional arousal

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
