America's Self-belief of Value System

Explanation:

In his play, The Crucible, Arthur Miller illustrates the self-belief of Americans who are sure of possessing the true value system to guide the entire world. This value system, Americans believe, should be a guiding light for the rest of the world to follow. This sort of ideology has helped Americans since it stopped them falling prey to other ideologies. At the same time, it causes troubles for Americans since other countries may not like the idea or oppose this self-made value system.

region
(2) open United States trade relations with Japan

Answers

The correct answer is 2. A major reason for Commodore Matthew Perry's 1854 visit to Japan was to open United States trade relations with Japan.

In 1854, Perry broke Japan's international isolation and forced it to open up to other foreign countries through the Kanagawa Treaty, which was signed on March 31, 1854 between the Japanese authorities and him, in the Japanese port of Shimoda. This treaty ended with 251 years of isolation from Japan and, at the same time, its policy of exclusion (Sakoku), thus opening the Japanese ports of Shimoda and Hakodate to trade with the United States, guaranteeing the safety of American castaways and establishing a permanent consul in that country.

How did Eisenhower support the Hungarians in their 1956 revolt?

Answers

The Eisenhower's administration decided to not intervene in the Hungary rebellion. Eisenhower made a mistake by failing to even attempt to airlift supplies to the embattled Freedom Fighters. The Soviets killed some forty thousand Hungarian “freedom fighters” before installing a more compliant leader in Hungary. They then hauled Nagy off to Moscow, where a firing squad executed him in 1958. It was a tragic ending to an independence movement that pleaded for the United States to back up its promise of “liberation” with force.

He did not do use American troops to support the revolt and NATO did not intervene when USSR crushed the revolution. One problem was the Britain and France were fighting Egypt over the Suez at this time and we backed them.
