8 0

Democrat President Woodrow Wilson appointed Jennings Bryan as Secretary of State between March of 1913 and June of 1915. During those years, he had the opportunity to develop and effectively communicate his vision about America and international relations. We can summarize it in three major concepts:

1. Pacifism. Convinced pacifist, the first year of his tenure at the head of US diplomacy was dedicated to submitting proposals for the maintenance of world peace, signing a total of thirty arbitration treaties with foreign countries. In addition, Bryan launched the idea of establishing international peace commissions to resolve all conflicts that arose between countries. One year later, he resigned for being totally in disagreement with President's Wilson policy and that of the great majority of the cabinet, favorable to the entry of the United States in World War I after the sinking of the ship Lusitania by German submarines.

2. Nationalism. Jennings Bryan considered the United States as "the supreme moral factor in the world" whose influence and form of government should spread throughout the world.

3. Order of the world. Bryan was convinced that the United States must rescue countries in any conflict, so that America could have an increased influence, that could help to prevent revolutions, promote education, and secure and advance stable and just ways of government.

For what reasons were many colonies granted independence after World War II? Check all that apply.

Lostsunrise [7]

The answers are:

- Recognition of universal human rights.

- Pressure from United Nations.

- Growth of nationalism.

- Promises made to colonies during the war.

- European economic weakness.

After the World War II many colonies were granted independence because of the European economic weakness. During the war European colonial countries were sucked dry economically to a point were they were all on the verge of collapsing as countries. After the war they were all in ruins and needed all the funds to rebuild themselves in every aspect. This caused the European colonial countries to grant independence to many of their colonies because they were not able to keep them under control anymore, be it financially or with the military.
