Marianna Gonzalez 3/19/15 Period 6 Mr.Torres Looking at America today, people around the world come to realization that The United States of America is a global superpower to everyone. There are many factors in history that contributed to the increase of America’s rapid growth of power. Those being domestic and foreign policies/events. The foreign policy aspect helped America become the powerful country it is today. The most important question rises, what international events or American foreign policies helped the United States the most in becoming a world superpower during the years of 1865 through 1945?

Workers were thought to not only deserve better wages and working conditions, they also should make some economic decisions and have rights to
The period of 1492 to 1750 offered both the old world and the new world an era of rising independence and connection. During this phase in world history, the Europeans dominated world travel, and by doing so, established colonies in the Americas and also inflamed the African slave trade. As a result of this global domination, the relations focused mainly on Western Europe, the Americas, and Africa. Because of the connection between the three regions of the world, their respective economies developed and drastically changed them from where they were before.

The Punic Wars: Long-Term Changes to the New Roman Empire The Punic Wars saw a number of important changes to the Roman Republic. These changes had both immediate and long-term effects that transform the Roman Republic into the powerful Roman Empire.

This growth therefore aided many social, cultural and political changes that allowed the Roman Empire to hold its immense power until the 5th century AD. Key changes include a shift in political guidance and wealth, the peasant community was altered and many began moving to the cities to look for work and food and Greek culture spread throughout the newly acquired provinces.
The last quarter of the nineteenth century was one of the fastest moving times in American history. There were many “frontiers”, new beginnings opened up many things. These new frontiers led the way in United States history to advancements in our economy and culture. They helped the United States advance socially, geographically, economically, and politically. Socially a new frontier that was created was the reconstruction of the South.
The American Revolution was revolutionary by bringing change in economy. Due to the Revolution there was a big change at the state level where power went to the less wealthy (Doc I). Also the economy was changed by abolishing primogeniture (Doc G). Doing so enabled other people to get wealthy without having come from a wealthy family. Economy was an initiative to stop prevents people from supporting Great Britain.
The World War I had brought America to the forefront of the global outlook. The war time excesses in production transformed into prosperity during the next decade which would watch America seek continued isolation despite the mounting global challenges. The Great War and the resulting Versailles Treaty left Europe in a rather deprived and devastated state where the Europeans continued to seek cultural and economic assistance from their cross-Atlantic neighbors. With new job opportunities, progressive ideas, an air of liberalism had developed around the American continent. This openness and jubilance was most evident in the arts, entertainment and economic sectors of the economy.
It also creates more competition between the party members who want the second seat than it does between rival parties. This system does not represent the interests of the public because it keeps parties out of power that have significant support, but not as much support as the larger coalitions (Huneeus). This system has kept the The Communist Party of Chile out of politics although they had strong support in the 1970s. The Communist Party of Chile is one of the oldest and largest parties in Latin America. Today, The Socialist Party has replaced this leftist party’s popularity.
Both decades indeed brought many different ways of thinking to America. Both became an important age to very important events. They marked the era of different movements and different societies.
