section 2, question 5
eisenhower was very militarily based. truman was very to himself, although he did use the atomic bomb, america just did what they had to do. he just wanted to use 'containment'. eisenhower wanted to become simpilier and stay that way. he did have the cold war during his presidency, which was a tricky perdiciment.
Eisenhower felt south Vietnam was in danger of becoming a communist government so he aided its anticommunist government. he felt that if one Asian country fell to Communism soon after all the other Asian country s would as well.
Section 2 number 4
4.) The Soviet launch of Sputnik affected science and technology in the United States because it caused the Americans to feel eager to launch something like the Soviets. They tried launching their own space satellite- Vangaurd. However, it didnt manage to succeed. The attention the Americans recieved was being made fun at, due to their unsuccessful launch.

section 2
5) The Truman administration was more influenced by balance of power considerations than any other considerations, including domestic politics
Arms race was like a race of weapons produced in competition between the soviets and USA

The Soviet launch of Sputnik and the Vanguard failure led America to develop its own space program. Federal money poured into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)the new government agency in charge of the space program. When the United States succceeded in launching the Explorer satellite in January 1958, the Associated Press reported: "The missile took off in a beautiful launching. It rose slowly at first in a huge splash of flame with a roar that could be heard for miles...." The space race had begun, and the United States soon began pulling ahead.

Ho Chi Minh- Born in 1890 and died in 1969 was a Vietnamese Marxist Revolutionary leader who was also president and prime minister of North Vietnam. He was president until he was taken out of it and became the prime minister, but was still a powerful figurehead. One of North Vietnams' cities was renamed Ho Chi Minh City, in honor of him.
Dien Bien Phu- Is a city in northwestern Vietnam and is famous for events during the first Indochina war and the battle of Bien Dien Phu.
Geneva Accords- it is a permanent status agreement to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Fidel Castro- Born in 1926, he is the leader of the Cuban Revolution. He has served as the first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba.
Nikita Khrushchev- Born in 1894 and died in 1971, he was the leader of the Soviet Union during the Cold War. He is also responsible for the de-Stalinization of the Soviet Union.
After the Soveit Union's launch of the space shuttle sputnik, there was an increased interest in science and technology in the United States. Citizens of the United States were worried that they were falling behind and needed to catch up and pass them. They started advance placement programs in school and pushed people to excel in these areas. It was later beneficial because we were the first to land on the moon.
Eisenhower was willing to give aid to vietnam becuase he didnt want communist to gain control over it. if they did he feared that a domino affect would takeplace and they would ened up taking more places. this was an example of containment
