1D - Cambodia and Laos were not Communist countries when the USA was fighting the Viet Cong. 2C - the US never sold or deployed nukes in South Vietnam, and a map of the region will tell you why the South could never have invaded China. In 1970 the Americans' aim was to cut off the Viet Cong's supply lines, which ran through Cambodia, which was not officially participating in the war. 3C 4C - weapons production in the USSR in the 80s was about the only thing working.

1. Who supported the Viet Cong in their civil war in South Vietnam? The insurgency in South Vietnam was NOT a civil war. The insurgents were mostly infiltrated into South Vietnam from North Vietnam, and they were created, directed, and controlled by North Vietnam from day one. It was an invasion. 2. Most anti-war protests subsided in 1968. What caused a new wave of protests and peace marches in 1970? The antiwar protests did not really get started until 1968. After the Chicago riots at the Democratic Convention the student antiwar movement broke up into a bunch of radical "revolutionary wannabes" that started engaging in acts of terrorism (like burning down ROTC buildings, inciting riots, attacking businesses and transportation infrastructure and robbing banks). They used the failure to get an antiwar candidate on the ballet in 1968, the Tet Offensive, the My Lai Massacre, the death of the students on the Kent State campus (a riot they incited), and the administration of Richard Nixon as an excuse to run rampant. 3. In the early 1960s, who was found to be living in poverty inside the US? Poverty is a relative term. In comparison to most of the rest of the world, and all of the Third World, the poor people of America (outside street people) were (and still are) rich. Most "poor people" in America have a higher standard of living then the average upper-middle class in Africa, Central Asia, South or Central America, the Middle East, and India. 4. As Gorbachev started leading the USSR, which problem did NOT hinder the USSR? Gorbachev took over a failing system and made a valiant effort to save it. But his efforts were to little to late. The command economy of the Soviet Union had always been pretty shaky. When the USSR won the Cold War in 1973 they went on a spree of conquest in SEA, South and Central America, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. They deployed SS-20 missiles in Europe to neutralize NATO, encouraged client states to go to war (which they backed), threatened to invade Poland, and did invade Afghanistan. During the late 70s and into the early 80s the United Sates was disengaged from the Cold War and did little or nothing (mostly nothing) to confront the Soviet aggression. When Ronald Reagan reengaged the US in the Cold War in the early 80s he pushed their economy to the edge. But the time Gorbachev took over the USSR it was to late. Reagan proposed SDI and pushed it over the edge. Gorbachev tried to save it by disengaging in foreign adventures and loosening up with perestroika and glastnos, but Eastern Europe bolted anyway and the whole house of cards collapsed by 1991. Sorry these are not the answers your teacher is looking for...but this is what really happened in the late 20th century, not the politically correct version.
