Did the US want the satellite states?

The United States did not seek to acquire satellite states during the Cold War, as its primary goal was to contain the spread of communism rather than expand its own influence. The U.S. aimed to support free, democratic governments in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, countering the Soviet Union's control over these nations. American foreign policy focused on establishing alliances and promoting democratic values rather than directly controlling other countries.


Who would most likely support the secession of the Southern States from the union change the channel and stuff and Douglas Jefferson Davis or Abraham Lincoln?

Jefferson Davis would most likely support the secession of the Southern States from the Union. As the President of the Confederate States during the Civil War, he was a strong advocate for Southern independence and the preservation of states' rights. In contrast, Abraham Lincoln was firmly opposed to secession and fought to preserve the Union. Stephen Douglas, while a prominent political figure, held a more moderate stance on the issue, often advocating for popular sovereignty rather than outright support for secession.

What two factors kept England from throwing its full support to the Confederacy?

Supporting the Confederacy would have led to outright war with the United States. It would have also caused labor issues, since the industrial workers sympathized with the slaves and were openly opposed to slavery, and some threatened to leave their jobs rather than support the slave holding Confederacy.

Is Vietnam stronger than Mongolia and China?

No. Vietnam is a populous country of over 100,000 million people. However, China has a population of 1.3 billion people, including an army which is over ten times the size of Vietnam's. (During the Vietnam War, much of its supply and support came from China.) Mongolia is a sparsely populated country situated between China and Russia and, therefore, is a rather inconsequential part of this question.


Why do many Vietnamese people speak French?

In the later part of the 19th century, Vietnam was a French colony. France, like all colonial powers, forced its language on the Vietnamese people, and ties to France remain to this day. This is the same reason people in Argentina speak Spanish, or people in the US speak English--in these countries, the native languages just never managed to keep any sort of foothold. Former French colonies have a tendency for the people to speak French as a secondary rather than primary languages, since they mostly kept French in only governmental capacities.

Why did the US support south Vietnam rather than?

The U.S. supported South Vietnam primarily to contain the spread of communism during the Cold War, adhering to the Domino Theory which suggested that if one country fell to communism, neighboring countries would follow. Additionally, the U.S. aimed to support a non-communist regime in Southeast Asia to promote stability and protect its strategic interests in the region. This support was part of a broader policy of intervention to counter Soviet influence globally.


Did the people have the support of the military in the french revolution?

Yes the people had the support of the military during the French Revolution, and is the reason why Louis XVI was removed from power so quickly. The military was made up by the third estate and they obviously supported their own kind rather than the nobles and clergy from the first and second estate.
