Foreign policy is important because it has a lot to do with the trade, technology, and communications of the United States. Also by nations working together global problems can be fixed easier. Equal rights are important to the U.S because it shows that everyone has the same rights including: black people, white people, Asian, men and woman, ect. A bad president would make the economy go down, not believe in equal rights and have a bad foreign policy. The best president in U.S history I believe is Abraham Lincoln.
they have very powerful military personnel in Western Europe and have their own global intelligence network: the CIA. The USA has worldwide spread military bases, although most of these are found in the USA, they do have bases that cover most of Europe, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Secondly Superpowers can exert their influence through cultural power. This includes exerting influence through the media to spread culture and change the way people behave and think. For example the British Empire has exerted its influence through the widespread use of the English Language, the drinking of tea and playing cricket.
Marisa Barrera Professor Turner English 1A May 6, 2008 Lead By Example Does it ever cross anyone’s mind why a third world war has not occurred? Aside from the United Nations one other group is due gratitude for not only preventing a third world war but also for working toward world peace by encouraging cooperation among European and non-European countries. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization often referred to as NATO for short, is long overdue credit for this feat of accomplishment. Initially the alliance was formed as a defense union for Western Europe to protect democracy in response to the USSR attempt at communist takeover of Europe. Faced with an immensely difficult task of resisting an attack from a vicious enemy with an upstanding army greater than all other signatories combined (“History of the Atlantic Alliance” 1), it quickly became clear that mutual cooperation was needed to achieve their common goal.
The American economy was in a strong state before the war broke out. Due to its neutrality, the USA continued trade with Europe despite the war. In 1913 the value of American trade was about $2 billion, but by 1916 it had risen to almost $6 billion. By late 1916, Great Allied trade was initially financed by the sale of some of the extensive assets that the British held in the USA, but by 1915 Great Britain relied heavily on loans raised in New York. New York rather than London became the world’s financial capital.
Explain why the USA entered WW1 There were several reasons the USA joined WW1 on the side of the allies, one such reason was the idea that it was a “fight for democracy” and that the USA would be saving Europe from oppressive administrations. This was only possible because Tsarist Russia had left the War leaving only France, a republic and Great Britain, a constitutional monarchy. This enabled the USA to join on a morality basis in that now all the Allies were “democratic”. This coincided very well for the USA in that they were already establishing heavy trade links with the Allies in that trade with them increased massively while trade with Germany has fallen to just 10% of what it had been in 1914. In this way the USA had a strong affinity
With the foundation of a federal government, that government can regulate and maintain both domestic and international trade without individual state interference, therefore making the United States one of the most important trading countries in the western world. This is only one possible explanation, another might be that they honestly did purely want to build a government for the people of the United States and by the people, which is supported by Paul Johnson’s writings. Other debates between intentions lie behind the injection of United States into the Vietnam conflict. Some historians say that the reason for our entrance into the conflict was to protect democracy and stop the spread of communism. Others say that the U.S. involvement wasn’t to protect democracy but to protect our economic interests in the nearby South Pacific and Middle East.
Palin doesn't believe that we should pull out of Iraq until their government can properly handle the Iraqi people. We will Know to pull out when our commanders on the ground tell us that the proper conditions have been met. Obviously we know how to govern their country much better than they do, even though their culture, religion, and way of life are completely different than ours. Our democracy is the best system of government in the world and countries like Iraq are fortunate to have people like us come in and do our part to better unify the
Defense of the Loyalists “I affirm that it would be most excellent policy in those who wish for true liberty to submit by an advantageous reconciliation to the authority of Great Britain” Great Britain was not only a powerful nation, one of the strongest military powers, but also one of the worst groups of people to be on bad terms with in the 18th century, not to mention the financial stability maintained by that nation. For all the colonists knew, going to war was just setting themselves up for disaster. Also, being the number one economic power, England was the prime buyer of American raw materials and agricultural products. So not only did they have a reign on their economy, but also the colonies’ as well. The overall impracticality of
The only WWII winner that has remained non-liberal is Russia and they have had an uneasy relationship with the West including “cold” warfare (further strengthening Kant’s claim). This, however, is not the whole story as globalization appears to be increasing the potential for conflict outside the liberal-democratic Global North. Globalization is more than just a geographic term describing the
The America is the largest consumer of energy resources like oil and natural gas but not the producer. The power show by America will not last for long if they continue to waste resources in the same way. Instead of cold war, the politicians should work on improving relationships with Russia, china and other countries. The meaning of democracy and freedom must be justified. Democracy is not achieved by any war rather it is achieved by the people of the nation with their determination and will to live in democratic ambience.
