In order for the world to be free, the Truman Administration suggested that Indochina no longer be communist. America getting involved into Indochina ran into its tradition of anticolonialism however, it ignored this somewhat to support France. After the French army won, America then wanted Indochina’s independence. America came up with “Operation Eggshell” in which France was urged to give Indochina independence while continuing the anticommunist war. By 1952, the National Security Council formalized the Domino Theory by describing a military attack on Indochina as being dangerous.
He formed the Vietminh, trying to win Vietnam's independence. France, however did not want to release its grasp on Vietnam. French troops moved back into Vietnam and eventually controlled the cities of it's southern half. At this time the United States was at France's aid. During a conference meeting Eisenhower explained his domino theory.
Salutary neglect in its self was an undocumented, though long-lasting, British policy of avoiding strict enforcement of parliamentary laws, meant to keep the American colonies obedient to England. Or in much simpler terms, if England left the colonies alone, the colonies would have absolutely no problem with parliament. Since the imperial authority did not assert the power that it had, the colonists were left to govern themselves, therefore becoming accustomed to the idea of self-control. The effects of such prolonged isolation eventually resulted in the emergence of a collective identity that considered itself separate from Great Britain causing the American Revolution. The end of salutary neglect meant the American colonies were not happy with England.
The root of this decision lies in the pirate activity of the four African Barbary states (Document D). When Tripoli demanded the US buy protection in order to stop the naval harassment, Jefferson refused, negating the views of other Federalists who would have done differently. Tripoli declared war on the United States, and Jefferson was forced to augment the size of the navy in order to defeat the Barbary pirates. The Louisiana Purchase is another course of action taken by Jefferson known for contradicting his strict constructionist views. Neglecting the fact that there is no clause in the Constitution permitting him to purchase land, Jefferson used Napoleon’s European conquest to help him get rid of New World worries.
After France withdrew from Vietnam, the Vietnamese Communists took over control of North Vietnam. South Vietnam was a weak non-Communist government; the United States stepped in to support to keep the Communists from over taking the government. (The American involvement in Vietnam) What was the Counterculture? According to New World Encyclopedia counterculture is generally used to describe a theological, cultural, attitudinal, or material position that does not conform to accepted societal norms. Yet, counterculture movements are often co-opted to spearhead commercial campaigns.
American citizens and politicians alike began calling the conflict the “second war of independence.” The political standpoint of entering the war was to preserve the rights of sailors and would-be American immigrants from British impressments. The US also wanted to prove that big brother Britain could not tell them who they could and could not trade with anymore (meaning France). This was an easy pill for the American public to swallow because of continued tensions with Britain after the Revolution and the rise of the anti-Britain, Democratic-Republican Administration and
Under Wolsey’s influence the Star Chamber dealt with 120 cases per year compared to 12 under Henry VII. However the nobles did not appreciate this as they were often targeted by Wolsey for abusing their privileges and were often held responsible for them, “he favoured the people exceedingly…especially the poor” this created resentment among the nobles but popularity among the common man. Another change that he brought about was the shift from the usage of Common Law to the use of Civil Law, which places emphasis on a written law rather than customs. His major success with domestic, and especially financially was the shift away from the fifteenths and tenths system into a subsidy system that was described as “several centuries ahead of its time” as it accurately reflected the wealth of the taxpayers across England. Between 1513 and 1526 it raised £170,000 where as the old system only raised £90,000.
Causes of the Revolutionary The cause of the revolutionary war was not one but many causes. The main cause which seems to be fact was the the colonists and Britain’s views on laws that Parliament had enforced upon the colonies such as new taxes. The colonists believed they should not be taxed with out representation because they wanted to voice their opinion about laws Parliament creates. Britain believed the colonies were created to be used to benefit Britain. When the French and Indian War ended the British felt they had the right to settle former French land even though Indians inhabited most of it.
Japan refused and invaded Jehol, another province of China. It left the League in 1933. Excuses were given for all sorts of reasons. Britain did not want troubles in the far east disrupting its trade with Japan, nor were they too send their navy, the French had no interest of sending
The Portuguese were determined to control the East-West trade; so Malacca still retained its importance as a trade center until 1641 when the Portuguese surrendered Malacca to the Dutch. The Dutch who had a stronger foothold over the Indonesia archipelago swung the trade center over to Sumatra. In the meantime, Malacca's trade also declined due to the silting of its port. In 1795 Melaka (Malacca) was given to the British to prevent it form falling to the hands of the French, where the Netherlands was captured during the French Revolution. By the time British took over in 1824, the focus of the trade has shifted from Malacca to Singapore and Penang.
