Question

Why would a nation most likely use military force? Select three options.

to remove trade restrictions
to defend territory
to support allies
to promote political relationships
to protect economic interests

Answer 1

Answers:
- to defend territory
- to support allies
- to protect economic interests

Brief reasoning: Military force is commonly used to defend a country's sovereignty and borders, to fulfill defense commitments or come to an ally’s aid, and to secure critical economic interests (resources, trade routes, infrastructure). Removing trade restrictions and promoting political relationships are usually pursued by diplomatic or economic measures rather than direct military action.
