The fundamental aim of NSC-68 was to contain the Soviet threat by increasing the defence expenditure and rolling back the Soviet drive for world domination.

It’s no wonder the republicans and democrats are always at each other’s throats, when discussing certain policies, both foreign and domestic; policies that may hinder the other’s chances over who gets to control Washington. Therefore, the driving research question of the paper is, “To what degree does Idealism and Realism play on key foreign policy decisions-- are these decisions good indicators of possible future implementation, and which of the two is preferred? “ In order to answer this question fully, one must first understand the origins of the two schools, only then can these two schools of thought be applied to past and present case studies; allowing oneself to better predict future implementation, like for example, US relations with Israel and Iran, or Russia’s involvement on the international stage. Idealism can be traced back to Immanuel Kant, but it was Woodrow Wilson who first implemented it, such that it is sometimes
Bryan was against imperialism and the Republican party’s ideal “militant America”, while attacking Mc Kinley’s foreign policies. “Bryan believes that American foreign policy is immoral and that the United States has no business fighting these kinds of wars. He believes that what McKinley has done has not only corrupted American society, but has corrupted the American Constitution.” - WALTER LAFEBER, America 1900 episode -3 http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/1900/filmmore/transcript/transcript3.html Mc Kinley’s foreign policies were aimed at free trade in China, looking to profit/ do business with other Westerners and foreign countries who have already settled in some provinces of China; utilizing the missionaries as well. “By 1900, China is looked at as a nation that can not

The main points of this New Look were “(1) maintaining the vitality of the U.S. economy while still building sufficient strength to prosecute the Cold War; (2) relying on nuclear weapons to deter Communist aggression or, if necessary, to fight a war; (3) using the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to carry out secret or covert actions against governments or leaders "directly or indirectly responsive to Soviet control"; and (4) strengthening allies and winning the friendship of nonaligned governments.” (“American President A Reference Resource”, 5) He was always making sure that the United States did not fall back into a depression so even though there was a high spending for U.S security it never fell 50 percent of his budget. This was impressive because he did balance three of the eight federal budgets. The President put great effort to keep his promise to the American people to end the Korean War.

The Japanese planned to take out the naval and air powers of the United States to cripple them so that they cannot retaliate. Even though sneak attacking the United States gave the Japanese a slight initial advantage they knew the consequences might
