One way in which the U. S. government helped struggling African nations was to forgive some of the debt owed to the U. S. by those countries. Why would the U. S. be willing to do this at this time? a. The U. S. hoped the African governments would buy American products once their citizens had moved beyoned the AIDS crises.
b. The U. S. did not need any additional income at the time and felt the effort was not worth the money involved.
c. The U. S. was more interested in promoting goodwill throughout the world and stabilzing parts of Africa to gain allies.
d. The U. S. wanted the African governments to pay off other debt--to countries that might try to step in and control Africa otherwise.
