b. flexible response policy.
c. Strategic Defense initiative.
d. zero option policy. E. policy of massive retaliation.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: John Foster Dulles is closely associated with the policy of mutually assured destruction. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "a". It is actually a national security policy involving the military doctrine of full scale use of nuclear weapons by the attacker as well as the defender, resulting in mutual destruction.
Answer 2
Answer:

Correct answer:  E. policy of massive retaliation

Answer A is similar, but is incorrect, because at the time Dulles was proposing a policy of massive retaliation, the nuclear arms race had not yet escalated to the point of "mutually assured destruction."  The term "mutually assured destruction" (MAD) was not coined until 1962, by Donald Brennan, an analyst at the Hudson Institute.

Context/detail:

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under President Eisenhower.  He held the office from 1953 to 1959.  He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinksmanship."  In an article in LIFE magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

The Dardanelles Campaign was a __________ for _____________.a. success/France
b. success/Russia
c. failure/Great Britain
d. failure/Ottoman Empire

Answers

The Dardanelles Campaign was a great "failure" for "Great Britain," and the fact that Winston Churchill was a leader during this campaign made it very hard for him to attain the political office he wanted. 

Answer:

The Dardanelles campaign was a failure for Great Britain.

Explanation:

In the first place the Dardanelles campaign was a failure for Great Britain. Because, it was a very important strategic point due to its geographical location and the utility it provided to the power who dominated it. In second place because it was a big impact into Great Britain's and French's alliance reputation. But in third place because major personalities like Winston Churchill himself were in command of that fight and they weren't able to achieve success in it. But in fourth place because it made a perfect combination of failure with the Gallipoli defeat and dragged too much attention to the strength of the alliance.

Answer:

C- People accused of a crime have the right to be represented and defended by another person in court.

Explanation:

Magna Carta Libertatum, better known as the Magna Carta, was a letter granted by John I of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on June 15, 1215. It was written first by the archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, with the aim of make peace between the English monarch, with wide unpopularity, and a group of rebellious barons. The document promised the protection of ecclesiastical rights, the protection of the barons from illegal detention, access to immediate justice, and limitations on feudal rates in favor of the Crown. The agreement would be implemented by a council of twenty-five barons. None of the sides complied with their commitments and the letter was annulled by Pope Innocent III, which led to the first war of the Barons.
