Short Answer: How did the launch of Sputnik I affect U.S. education? Provide your answer in 1 paragraph (5-7 sentences).
The launch of Sputnik I affected U.S. education in several ways. One of the most significant impacts was that it sparked a nationwide focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Americans were shocked that the Soviet Union had beaten the United States in this area and feared that their nation was lagging behind, so the government poured resources into STEM education. New legislation was passed to fund math and science programs, and the U.S. government invested millions of dollars in education and research. Furthermore, the emphasis on STEM education continued to grow in the decades following the launch of Sputnik I, resulting in a more rigorous curriculum for American students.

Read this statement from a speech by U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles in March, 1954.
[The] Communists in Indochina use nationalistic anti-French slogans to win local support. But if they achieved military or political success, it is certain that they would subject the People to a cruel Communist dictatorship taking its orders from Peiping [Beijing] and Moscow. The tragedy would not stop there. If the Communist forces won uncontested control over Indochina or any substantial part thereof, they would surely resume the same pattern of aggression against other free peoples in the area.
In 2-4 sentences, identify and explain the threat that Dulles is describing.
In his speech, Dulles is describing the threat of Communist expansion in Indochina and its potential to create a domino effect of Communist aggression throughout Southeast Asia. He warns that if the Communists manage to gain control of Indochina, they would subject the people to a dictatorship and continue a pattern of aggression against other free nations. His argument reflects the US policy of containment, the belief that the spread of Communism needed to be actively resisted in order to avoid further Communist expansion.
