He, however, hired Tesla due to his intellect and offered him $50,000 if he succeeded in improving his DC generation plants. Tesla, after several months, announced he had completed the task and Edison claimed the $50,000 was a joke and “after he became a full-fledged American he would understand.” Tesla immediately quit. He eventually received an investment from Mr. A.K. Brown of the Western Union Company to invest in the AC motor. Clearly, the $50,000 is enough to create a conflict between the two.
Churchill believed that in order to guarantee the security of Czechoslovakia, Europe should have held Germany back and Britain and France should have worked together as an alliance. George F. Kennan, an American Secretary of State during the cold war also disagreed with the Munich Agreement. Kennan thought that Chamberlain and Daladier only agreed with Germany’s proposal only because they didn’t want to participate in war. Chamberlain and Daladier wanted to maintain the peace in Europe.

With Roosevelt believing that Great Britain was their key for America’s security the U.S. policy started to change. He started to remove the neutrality acts to help Great Britain. Since Great Britain still controlled the seas Roosevelt ended the arms embargo so it could only
Jorge Luna February 23, 2013 Period: 1 U.S Foreign Policy Change between 1920-1941 From 1920-1941 the United States foreign policy changed from being a strict isolation and neutrality policy to a more liberal policy because of the circumstances and tensions of the future world war two. This new change in the policy allowed America to help its allies and keep America safe from the totalitarian dictators of its time. In 1918 after the First World War ended, the United States created a foreign policy in which they stated that they weren’t going to help in any way any nation at war. Many of the reasons were because of the economic depression that was going on also, because the people of America didn’t want to go to war again. For a few years America tried to isolate itself from the rest of the world trying to ignore the fight leading up to World War Two.
It was in this period that Bonhoeffer produced his book “The Cost of Discipleship” and that Bonhoeffer first became widely known. In 1938, his brother-in-law, Hans von Dohnanyi, introduced him to the group seeking to Overthrow Hitler. Bonhoeffer continued his work for the resistance movement under the cover of his employment in Germany's Military Intelligence Department, which was a centre of the resistance. In 1942 he flew to Sweden to tell British government the conspirators' proposals for a peace; these proposals were unfortunately rejected. Bonhoeffer was arrested on April 5, 1943, and imprisoned in Berlin.

Born in 1902, Carl Rogers was brought up in a very religious family who believed in the virtues of hard work. At the age of twelve, his family bought a farm – Rogers believed one of their reasons for doing so to remove the adolescents of the family from the temptations of suburban life. It was in this new farm environment that Rogers demonstrated much aptitude and interest in science, including scientific controls. Rogers early years in college opened up his understanding of the world. Here, Rogers was given the opportunity to travel to China, see the impact World War II had on French German relations (they hated one another, despite each being a likeable individual), was forced to expand his thinking outside the religious beliefs his
William Shockley: Father of the Bipolar Transistor William Shockley was born in 1910 to American parents in London, England. He graduated from the California Institute of Technology before getting a PhD in physics from MIT. After that, he went to work at Bell Labs, taking a brief break for radar research for the military during WWII, returning to Bell after the war ended. During his schooling at CIT, Shockley married Jean Bailey, who gave birth to Alison Shockley in 1934. Later, Shockley would divorce Jean and marry Emmy Lanning, who would have a son, Dick.
His greatest passion was his work, but he was also an avid sailor and skillful violinist. Einstein’s contributions to science and physics brought him great joy as well as fame and notoriety, but alienated him from his family in the process. Born on March 14, 1879 to a simple Jewish family in Ulm, Germany, Einstein initially had an
