They express alarm over the fact that capitalistic principles were violated by the bailout and that the federal government overstepped its bounds. They condemn the fact that irresponsible business practices were rewarded by a government handout. Finally, they further their argument by proposing that the natural flow of a free market economy, which relocates resources to where they will be most productive, was stemmed at the cost of the advancement of new, innovative businesses. These vastly different views have been well articulated and argued extensively by their proponents; however, this question still calls for a definitive answer: was the auto bailout in the best interest of America?

When Germany asked Mexico to join the war against USA, this message was deciphered and led to the entry of USA in the war. In 1917 Russia withdrew from the war, which allowed Germany to send over the troops from the Eastern Front to the Western front. This allowed the Ludendorff Offensive take place. The strategy worked well in assumption, but in reality the casualties were extreme and the tactic exhausted the men. The strategy was to send German troops to push back the French and British lines, they were able to push back the lines, but they weren’t able to break the French lines.
As well, the only way that the Wilson plan would have survived the political intrigue of the Europeans was either through a league that had real teeth, or a super power willing to intervene as a worldwide police officer. Neither of which existed in 1918. Clemenceau’s views represented the average sentiment of the European Allies after the war. In the closing days of the war, a war weary European population must have tried to make sense of the carnage, of the loss. Clemenceau casts a pale light on the German population, blaming the war on the aims of “the intolerable German Aristocracy.” (Clemenceau, p. 73) The entire argument for the French and nay, European view, was the perceived threat that Europeans felt of German arrogance.
The economic problems of the Soviet Bloc were at the core of communisms downfall. In the early days of communism Stalin had set out to emulate the success of the western capitalist economies, which were at the time dominated by heavy industry (steel, power plants, and chemicals). Stalin thought that this success could be reproduced, but at a much faster and efficient rate with planning and communist control. Stalin did actually achieve this, and the soviet bloc enjoyed long periods of economic prosperity. However, Stalin’s adaptation of the model for economic success was too rigid, and as capitalism moved on, providing luxury goods to consumers such as cars, “the Soviets and Eastern Europeans found themselves in the 1980s with the most advanced industries of the late 19th and early 20th centuries- polluting, wasteful, energy intensive, inflexible-in short with massive rust belts” (Chirot, 1991 p.283).
One thing the Germans were not happy in the treaty of Versailles is the War Guilt Clause, take blame for the war. Because of this they had to the reparation to the big three. The German government didn’t have the money to pay for the reparation as the country just lost a war and the factory are destroy and the environment is in a poor state. So then the USA banks lend Germany government loans. Its was all going well as Germany was getting in a better state and they are paying their reparation until 1929.
As a leader, he had pulled Germany out of the economic depression they were in. Most other countries had not accomplished that yet which is partly why they were not able to hold their defenses against the German army. America made the decision to aid in the war before it was a part of the war. First they sent supplies and material overseas to Britain and Russia. The axis powers that consisted of Italy, German, and Japan, were spreading.
The statement "America was conquered in Germany" means that whichever country would prove to be the most powerful in Europe would boost the rights to America since allegedly no troops where worthy enough to send them to America.

Who’s to Blame? : An Analytical Look at the U.S/ British Participation in the Destruction of the Lusitania The attack on the cruise liner ship the Lusitania is an event in history that continues to create controversies about its fall to a German U-boat torpedo on May 7th, 1915. The Germans have been single-handedly blamed for the attack and its actions were seen as completely unjustifiable. The day after the attack, The New York Times declared: “From the Department of State must go to Berlin, the demand that Germans will no longer make war like savages drunk with blood and that they should cease to seek the attainment of their ends by the assassination of non-combatants and neutrals…” (War by Assassination).

The typical thought of the average American is that America is a melting pot and culture is only imported into America when in reality American Culture is an Export and companies like Coke, McDonalds, and Walmart are proving this fact. Richard Pells goes into further detail by describing Hollywood entrepreneurs as immigrant entrepreneurs. Richard Pells argument on Hollywood could not be more wrong.

The United States could not safely increase their military and defense spending without the nation’s public getting upset. This is where the Cold War fits in because it could have been largely avoided but the American government jumped headlong into it in order to accomplish their goals at hand. With communism such a large threat, the American government would have the perfect opportunity to increase spending while getting the public’s full support in the matter. Secondly, the United States wanted the Asian, European, and Middle Eastern economies for American business to prosper in the future. America was becoming a large export nation and needed economies where they could sell their products.
