The 1955 Baghdad pact is an example, where in brief, Nasser launched a campaign to prevent Arab states from joining a British anti-soviet alliance. This shows that Nasser refused to take part in anything to do with Britain. Another example is the 1955 Czech arms deal where Egypt was to be supplied with weapons. Similarly, both impacts of the example encouraged Arab unity because it resulted in Nasser able to defend Egypt while setting an example and persuading other Arab states to do the same. Nasser standing up to Western imperialism is another factor of encouraging Arab unity such as the 1956 Suez crisis.
such as Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, China, and North Korea were communist’s states with the influence of the USSR having an impact; it could be argued that the crisis didn’t need to prove that containment had failed. The presidents after Truman attempted to uphold containment but did not succeed as well as they could have. Containment had failed as the crisis did not have enough commitment from Kennedy, therefore the policy and Truman’s doctrine had failed. The crisis ended with Cuba still being communist, the only real success for America was that the missiles had been removed, America did not need to remove their Jupiter missiles from Turkey and Castro was wary of Khrushchev; the actual fact that Cuba was still as communist state was not focused upon enough. Containment may have of failed and been made evident with the Cuban missile crisis however it led to a growing awareness of the need to create some control over the nuclear arms race by placing restrictions on nuclear tests.
There are many successes and failures of self-determination in the Middle East in the early twentieth century. In the analysis of the documents some successes might be that writers are asking for a home for the Zion Jewish people, the Ottoman Empire, and Syria. Failures might be the request for guardianship of the people to be entrusted to more advanced nations. Another failure might be that the General Syrian Congress opposed the creation of a Jewish commonwealth inside their borders, and also opposed any migration of such peoples into their country. Looking at the two maps ([doc.1], [doc.6]) I can see some successes and some failure.
The creation of Israelin 1948 exposed the lack of a common ideology or strategy between the Arab countries in how to deal with the newly formed state.On the one hand Jordan had begun direct negotiations with Israel by 1949,while Syriaremained unmoved from its position of non-co-operation with Israel. [1] Despite the Arab League’s declarationsinsisting there was unity between the Arab countries in fighting for the Palestinian cause,[2] Jordan was pursuing its own interests through negotiations with Israel, showing the ideological bareness of the League after the 1948 war.However, it can be argued that the creation of Israel, and the ongoing conflict, added to the strengthening of Arab nationalism among the Arab populations in the region,despite the disunity among the individual countries.The 1948 war and the creation of Israel contributed towards the Egyptian revolution in 1951 which saw
Arguably the role of the UN was the most important factor in the creation of Israel. In 1947 UNSCOP Was set up to investigate, and then recommend how to resolve the Palestine problem. The main recommendation was to divide Palestine, and set up both a Jewish and an Arab state, this would give the Jews 55% of the country and the Arabs 45%, this was officially accepted by the Jewish Agency, but the Arab higher committee declined it, this factor is so important because it led to the civil war a few days after the partition plan. The civil war also arguably an important factor in the creation of Israel because it helped the Jewish get more land and over 300,000 Arabs were expelled by the Jews, which meant more of the land was theirs. The civil war eventually led to the war of 1948-49 where 6 different Arab forces attacked Israel.
Newly free black, brown, and yellow nations could not support a country that continued treating non-whites like second-class citizens at home. And even conservatives like Richard Nixon himself used the phrase! All in all, this aspect of Civil Rights traditionally isn’t discussed much. To say that Civil Rights came about not just through sheer altruism, but also because of self-interest, diminishes the mythology that has built up around the movement. But it makes more sense.
The countries that were targeted were; North Korea, Iraq, and Iran and were known as the “Axis of Evil”. However an Islamic sympathizer stated “the War on Terrorism is not about terrorist threats against the U.S, but instead is a religious and economic, unilateralist war waged against certain foreign states.” This suggests America is abusing its powers and the American Foreign Policy for America’s self-interests. From the countries in the “Axis of Evil” Iraq was the prime target. In 1980’s, the government run by Saddam Hussein was accused of trying to develop weapons of mass destruction. The U.N sent inspectors of weapons of mass destruction into Iraq but Saddam did not allow the inspectors to do their job, so the inspectors withdrew.
Both of Them didn’t have thoughtful communication about world affairs and domestic policies. They were uninformed about initiatives of the successful prosecution of WWI. Later in The election of 1948, Truman was best remembered for his come from behind victory. Truman placed a civil rights plank in the party platform in order to calm domestic Political waters. He was a Democratic .His purpose was to assuage the conflicts Between the northern and Southern wings of his party.
"Soviet, American and UN diplomatic efforts regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict in the period December 1968 - September 1973" The Soviet Union, the United States and the UN tried to influence leaders of Egypt and Israel, and to some extent Jordan and Syria, to reach diplomatic solutions and finally put an end to the interminable Arab-Israeli Conflict. However, the USSR and the US had different reasons for getting involved in this region and both were acting out of their own selfish interest rather than a peaceful solution. Jerome Slater describes the situation as follows: “The Arab-Israeli conflict became entangled in the global rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union”. [1] It was only the third party, the UN, who offered diplomatic efforts that did not serve for personal interests but rather a more neutral aim as solution. Yet, the United Nations showed lack of strength and influence as they did not manage to reach any settlement.
With the large scale settlement of displaced Jews into Palestine in the wake of World War Two, Israel was able to declare independence, although this was marked by bitter war in the region, and the beginning of the Arab-Israeli Conflict that continues to the present day. The Balfour Declaration did include a stipulation that "nothing shall be done that may prejudice the religious or civil rights of the existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" - a clause that was not exactly heeded by the founders and rulers of Israel. But little more could have been expected as the declaration itself stripped the Arab community in Palestine of its right to land and self-determination. Lord Balfour was a true representative of the imperial values of his times - an anti-Semitic politician who sought to solve what was then seen as 'Europe's problem' while setting the stage for the creation of a pro-Western entity in the Arab world. His declaration was an embodiment of both imperialism and anti-Semitism, the repercussions of which are still being felt thousands of miles away from where his short policy statement was
