In a famous speech at the 1896 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, William Jennings Bryan declared that mankind should not be "crucified on a cross of gold."
Answer: America had to get involved in the war.
Explanation:
Just like in the First World War, when America remained neutral, a similar thing happened at the beginning of the Second World War. We were forced to defend ourselves. America did not enter the war on its own but was drawn in. So the United States did not intend to be part of that global madness, but the country came to a situation where it had to defend itself. The attack on Pearl Harbor directly violated the integrity and sovereignty of the country. America was one of the world's most powerful powers at the time, so there was a moral obligation to fight the Third Reich's brutal policies and their allies.
If the United States had not been involved in the war, then the world would not be the same today. It is likely that after the Soviet Union and Britain, the United States would be the target of Hitler and his allies. Scenarios like Pearl Harbor would probably be even more so if the country had not joined the war in time. Hitler hated all those who emerged victorious from the First World War; he considered them guilty of Germany's situation. The United States was also on the list of those countries. Therefore, if America had not entered the war, and Hitler had won, the world would have been a terrible place.
You have to choose something like the Berlin Airlift for example, and you need to explain how it reflected the us policy of containment.
Be sure to add the bolded parts
here is some information you could use for the article you need to write--
<span> --The Berlin Airlift came about as a
result of an economic crisis and an attempt by the West to introduce a
new currency to stabilize the country’s finances.
The Russians closed
access to the Western-controlled sectors of Berlin, threatening to
starve the people in those sectors unless the Allies withdrew their
currency plans.
Since ground and rail transportation routes were blocked
by the Communists, the west flew planes into West Berlin with food and
supplies, starting in June of 1948.
By the following spring, more
supplies were reaching the city than had previously arrived by rail, and
the Soviets ended the blockade in May of 1949. None of this changed the
boundaries or lowered tensions much.
--</span>
The West, primarily the U.S.
simply maintained the status quo with their policy of containment so
that Communism didn’t speak significantly into other parts of the world.
The freedom of West Berlin was an example of the will of the West to
maintain that containment.

<span>The thinking at the time was that,
if South Viet Nam fell to the Communists in the North, then the other
countries in the region would “fall like dominoes.” (</span><span>the domino theory)
