1. Stagflation refers to the period of the 1970s that continued a bit into 1980s in which the US economy was devastated and in the worst shape since the Great Depression. There were three main causes for the stagflation and those were the inflation, economic stagnation and the rising prices.

2. The problem here was that never before has country has to face inflation, stagnation and price rise at the same time. The problem is these presidents did not know really what to do or where to start. Nixon and Ford firstly attacked inflation which did not help. Ford later focused on employment and the economic growth which helped but it was not a major turn that fixed everything. US was highly dependent on oil and that problem blew up thanks to the Oil Crisis that happened during the Carter presidency. He did though cut federal spending which only was evident during the Reagan. The stagflation was finally halted during Reagen's presidency and his supply-side economics but that created other problems.

Answer:

Because of Trade and Technology

Explanation:

You have no power politically if you have no influence. It's like trying to keep the law without the police. America created the first submarines, iron-clad ships, and had a powerful navy before but they had to take it apart since they ran out of money. They were very powerful in the 20th century and became a world super power because of trade with the Allies in the first world war. Using the money, they improved the military and technology. That is why the USA has so much influence.

Answer:

The US were against the government of Salvador Allende in Chile because he was a Marxist and they feared this would increase the influence of communism in the Western hemisphere.

Explanation:

The United States intervened in the presidency of Salvador Allende and supported a military coup by Augusto Pinochet, that would lead to the death of Salvador Allende and the instillation of a military dictatorship in Chile that lasted from 1974-1990. The actions that would actively undermine the Allende government were supported by the US government and the CIA because Allende had Marxist views that when against the liberal democracy ideals of the United States government. Intervention helped assure that there would not be a further spread of communism in Latin America that could threaten the sphere of influence of the United States. I think that the United States shouldn't intervene in the sovereign systems of other countries and that the US should have faced charges of human rights violations for the death of General René Schneider who the CIA paid $50,000 to have kidnapped and delivered weapons to the pro-coup factions who were after Schneider.
