Question

President Johnson's foreign policy philosophy encompassed all of these principles EXCEPT which one?

a. deterring and resisting aggression
b. promoting economic and social progress
c. encouraging cooperation among nations of the same region
d. seeking compensation from the communist world

Answer 1

D. seeking compensation from the communist world

Step-by-step explanation:

The leadership of US President Lyndon B. Johnson was especially complicated in terms of foreign policy. He had to face the management of the Vietnam War, which was characterized by significant strategic and discursive deficits that increased even more if possible the opposition to the struggle in the bosom of society, which eventually ended up leading to the called "Vietnam syndrome", which marked the problems and contradictions of Washington's foreign policy for decades. This article tries to analyze this key episode from a new political and communicational perspective that complements the classic structural and internationalist vision.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) Seeking compensation from the communist world.

During Johnson's presidency, he did not seek any compensation from the communist world. Rather, he tried to stop the communist world from spreading their influence to non communist countries. A perfect example of this would be Johnson's escalation of American involvement in the Vietnam War.
