How did american foreign policy choices affect its relationships with old world power?

History
1 answer:
larisa [96]3 years ago
5 0

In the 1800's Amerca mostly focused on developing itself as a country and did not engage much in foreign affairs.

After World War I, American foreign policy seemed to be one of isolation.

By the early 1900's President Franklin Delano Roosevelt sought to make a change to this stance of isolation due to his belief that doing so would aid the American economy in recovery after the Great Depression.

Roosevelt took it upon himself to meet with heads of the Soviet Union and establish a way to ensure friendly foreign relations with the Soviets and allow businessmen from America to buy and sell within their market. He also withdrew troops from Latin America and handed back control to their governments.

President Roosevelt established the Reciprocal Tariff Act of 1934 which promoted trade between foreign countries and the United States (a tariff is a tax on buying and/or selling of goods). The Tariff Act of 1934 allowed for a reduction of tariffs on American goods sold in foreign countries with a reciprocal reduction on tariffs of those same countries' goods sold in America.

After World War II, the US emerged as a powerhouse country. It took a leadership role in helping to found the United Nations, invested money, and built multiple alliances. Their main focus was containing communism. The outcome of WWII led to the collapse of Nazi Germany, the fall of Japanese and Italian empires, Allied forces victory, and the US and the Soviet Union emerging as rival powers.

The fall of the Soviet empire led to the US emerging as a lone power.

What is the primary difference between the principles of capitalism and socialism
SashulF [63]
Capitalism: is an economic system in which the factors of production are privately owned and money is invested in business ventures to make a profit.
(Basically Capitalism referred to people who believed that the government should not interfere with businesses)

Socialism: the factors of production are owned by the public and operate for the welfare of all.

The main difference between the two was that in capitalism, business owners wanted to run everything themselves. They didn't want help from the government at all. Socialism was when the people wanted "some government" involved within the businesses. In summary, the main difference is the amount of government that was allowed to take over in a business.
