The Line of Demarcation, or the 38th Parallel, was established as an initial administrative division of Korea by the U.S. and the Soviet Union after WWII. It was soon cemented as a hard boundary due to the Korean War. The line became both the physical and symbolic divide between Communist North and non-Communist South Korea.
The Line of Demarcation, also known as the 38th Parallel, was established following World War II when Korea was liberated from Japanese rule. The United States and the Soviet Union, who had both aided in the liberation, divided administrative control of the region along the 38th Parallel. North of the line fell under Soviet control and established a pro-communist government, while to the south, where the U.S. assumed control, a non-communist regime was established.
When the Korean War began in 1950, incited by a push from the communist north into the southern territory, this division was solidified. The fighting, which resulted in a stalemate near the initial division, led to an official demarcation along the 38th Parallel, resulting in the creation of North and South Korea. The 38th Parallel evolved from a simple administrative division to the tense and heavily fortified boundary we know today as the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Thus, the establishment of the Line of Demarcation near the 38th Parallel was not arbitrary but was initially a result of post-WWII diplomacy and then further cemented by the realities of the Korean War. It is a lasting symbol of the larger tensions of the Cold War period.

Answer:
This process was a method of producing very high-quality steel. It was done by shooting the air onto the molten steel, to burn the carbon and impurities. The process is named after Sir Henry Bessemer, who developed the process in the 1850 s. In America, steel production was in huge quantities but the quality was not up to the mark. In the production of suspension bridges and other large structures, it was necessary to have high-quality steel. The Bessemer method revolutionized the steel industry and led to the advancement of construction and shipbuilding. A similar method was patented by William Kelly which he got patented in 1857.

Answer: A) developed as a result of the tensions between the US. and the Soviet Union.
Explanation:
Cold War was the opposition that grew after World War II between the United States and the Soviet Union.
The Soviets had established leftist governments in the part of eastern Europe liberated by them. The United States worried about the Soviet domination of eastern Europe and their goal of spreading communism worldwide.
The correct answer is D. The Tet Offensive was a sudden series of attacks by North Vietnam on bases and towns.
The Tet offensive was a military operation planned by the government of North Vietnam and executed by the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong in 1968, against the US-led allies, especially the Army of the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
During the Vietnamese New Year holiday, known as the Tet, the forces of the north along with the Viet Cong guerrillas launched a surprise attack on several strategic points, including the capital, Saigon.
The planning of the offensive was meticulous and the execution well done; but the military results were disastrous; not so the political consequences, especially in the United States. The large number of US soldiers killed during the offensive, about 14,000, was not digested by the American people. The rejection of the war in the United States increased and this meant a turn of the war towards the defeat of the coalition.
Although the US troops recovered the lost territory again, the repercussions of that offensive made vanish any idea of victory installed in the American imagination. And with it, popular support for the presence of troops in Vietnamese territory.
