Fourth reason was refusal of South Korea to hold elections as per North Koreas demands.

The era dominated by Andrew Jackson and his followers ushered in a period of development in democracy. Jacksonian economic policy, changes in election politics, and the Second Great Awakening were some prominent causes of changes that occurred in the developing democracy of the United States from 1820 to 1840. These changes entailed the economic chaos and shift of economical advantages away from the elite class through Jacksonian economic policy, the start of catering to the “common man” when campaigning for president, and the move towards individualism and rationalism in the Second Great Awakening. Andrew Jackson had an enormous influence on the economy of the United States. In Jackson’s time, there was a growth in the market economy because more people understood how banks, tariffs, and internal improvements affected their lives.
Truman made some decisions that ultimately had a huge effect in the build up to the cold war. When plans were made for the division of power after WWII, Truman originally opposed America ganging up against Russia and said he would keep the agreements that were made with them. But Truman wanted to appear decisive and tough and he was not prepared to accept any deal if he could not get the majority of it his way. When Truman went to the Potsdam Conference in July 1945, he went there only to advance American Interest and he believed that the atomic bomb was the way to do this. Though this treat he was able to have his way at the Yalta conference.
They argue that that in no way that the United States was in the right to drop the atomic bombs onto Japan for any reason at all. There were even a few American top military leaders wasn’t cool with using the bombs because they knew that it was of little effect on the war seeing as Japan was trying to surrender. The reason that American political leaders give for the use of the bombs that they had to demonstrate the power that they held by destroying a city. See the whole reason behind dropping the bombs in the first place was to scare Russia from getting involved in the war with Japan and that by showing them the kind of power that they had that they believed that they could get Russians to agree upon their terms in both Europe and Asia. They said that it was to be their master card.
Later that year in Potsdam, many open disagreements took place because Germany had lost the war so Russia had promised to fulfil, Churchill had lost the 1945 election and Roosevelt died so Truman, who replaced him was angered by the large scale reparations imposed on Germany and the setting up of a communist government in Poland. He did not trust Russia, so kept him in the dark about him having the atomic bomb in 1945 before he dropped it on Japan to get them to surrender. By America using the atomic bomb, Stalin knew that it was possible for it to be used against them. Russia was therefore tricked by America preventing the Red Army from going to Japan. This threatened Russia and warned them that America was wary of them and could act on it.
The New Deal was simply a response to the economic crisis that sought to help venerable individuals such as the poor, unemployed, and most of all get the economy back to normal. In his famous declaration of the New Deal he embarked “"I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people." He made himself with aligned the people and identifying himself as a fellow American. Hoover argued that this so called “New Deal” will worsen the depression more by raising taxes and increasing the national debt that would stifle free
Rational Choice Theory in “Fail Safe” In the movie “Fail Safe” the President of United States of America meets issues that create security dilemma between two nations where he has to make certain hypothesis, assumptions, and correct decisions that will be consequential to the United States as country as well as a nation. Being at the state of Cold War, United States and Soviet Union were trying to avoid and prevent limited war that would lead to Mutual Assured Destruction of two nations. However, due to technological failure one of the USA bombers gets false signal to bomb Moscow with two by twenty megaton bombs and US cannot reach the bombers because Soviet Union was jamming US radio system. As the Commander Chief of United States of America, the President has to deal with Rational Choice Theory to stop the bombing of Moscow. He has to make assumptions why all this happened, what should be done to stop Group Six from accomplishing their mission, and if the bombers will not be stopped and the bombs will be dropped what should be done to even the situation.
Why was President Roosevelt’s plan for national recovery called a “New Deal” for Americans? In your opinion, did they offer Americans a new deal? • Possible thesis statement: FDR’s plan for national recovery was a “new deal” for the American people because it created the foundations of the federal welfare system ( a system that did not exist before the 1930s and that continues to define our contemporary political world. • The New Deal expanded the powers of the federal government into the lives of all Americans by regulating new areas of the economy, proving a major force in the agricultural economy, presiding over the birth of the modern labor movement, supervising and funding major public works projects, creating a powerful coalition in the Democratic Party that dominated American politics for most of the next thirty years, and producing a new liberal political ideology that shaped the post-war reform efforts for the next generation of
Because by the early 1950’s they were both in possession of functioning state-of-the-art hydrogen bombs, they knew that pushing things slightly too far would result in both of them being completely annihilated. Prior to the Korean War, governments in possession of nuclear weapons only thought to use them in aggression. But this changed after the war and nuclear weapons were established only as a means of defense. The US had then begun to develop their defense systems by enhancing their nuclear resistance on their territory as well as amplifying their retaliatory nuclear-weaponry. The United States was in fact not as prepared for war as they considered themselves.
Although he did approve of the bomb, Roosevelt was unconcerned about actually dropping the bomb on Japan. Instead he supported the idea that since Germany was possibly looking into the same type of destructive weapon, the U.S. needed to advance in the field in order to prevent detrimental attacks against them. He had the Great Depression on his hands as well and was less motivated during his time to destroy Japan to end the war more efficiently. On the other hand, Truman saw his opportunity of bringing the United States to the end of the war in a quick manner by releasing the bombs since Japan had no intentions of taking an easy surrender. To prevent going through an invasion, Truman made a hasty decision to drop the bombs.
