Answer 1

The most similar aspect of U.S. interventions in Somalia and Northern Ireland is:

• U.S. forces were targets for local hostility and attack in both places.

In both Somalia and Northern Ireland, U.S. forces faced significant challenges, including hostility from local populations. In Somalia, U.S. troops were directly involved in humanitarian operations that encountered violent resistance, while in Northern Ireland, the U.S. had involvement in peace efforts amidst a deeply divided and conflict-ridden environment.
