1 answer:

6 0

A) During the Cold War, the American governments foreign policy revolved around the concept of stopping the spread of communism on a global scale. However, after the Soviet Union fell and many of their satellite nations became independent, the US government had to adapt a different foreign policy. This new foreign policy would be extremely complex, as they had to deal with genocide (in countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Rwanda), invasions (like Iraq invading Kuwait), and dealing with the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction by potentially dangerous groups (like Al Qaeda and Isis).

B) The US government has responded to this trend by continually being involved in foreign affairs. The US has helped in providing troops, financial aid, and organization to countries that were destroyed by warfare or harmful radical groups. As times change, America will continue this pattern of involvement in order to protect the rights of individuals all over the world.

The following political cartoon is depicting what U.S policy following World War II

mojhsa [17]

You didn't show us a cartoon, but I would guess it has to do with CONTAINMENT policy, which was the US foreign policy following World War II.

I've attached a political cartoon below, which shows how, at that time, the United States viewed the threat of Soviet communist expansion. Under its foreign policy of containment, the United States aimed to keep the Soviet Union from expanding communism outside its borders.

Explanation/context:

The policy of containment focused on keeping communism and the Soviet Union's influence limited, rather than by trying to confront the Soviet Union directly or eliminate communism completely. It influenced US foreign policy by prompting intervention in places like Korea to stop the spread of communism.

George F. Kennan recommended the policy of containment which set the tone for US involvement in world relations following World War II. Kennan was an American diplomat in Moscow after World War II. In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).

In those days, everyone feared an ultimate confrontation between the USA and the USSR -- that the Cold War would someday explode into a massive heated conflict between the superpowers. Kennan, in Moscow, had much foresight to see the internal problems the USSR had. He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union and wait for their system to collapse under the weight of its own problems. Kennan was right. It took almost 50 years, but eventually the communist system in the USSR fell apart. [The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics came to an end in 1991.]
