How did the United States react to the following 7 events, and why?
The United States is always competing with the Soviet Union. For example, the Sputnik and H-Bomb. As soon as the U.S. heard about Sputnik being launched, they immediately had to figure out how to make a satellite for themselves. But this failed the first time they made one. The U.S. made the H-bomb first, but weren't expecting Soviet Union to finish theirs not too long after. The United States were competing because they didn't want the Soviets to be ahead of them in technology or anything really.
