President Roosevelt lauched his well-known "Four Freedoms Speech", in order to ask for support to get in the World War II. Dr. Hutchins, the president of the Univeristy of Chicago, in response to the speech said that "if we would change the face of the earth, we must first change our own hearts". In fact, Dr. Hutchins believed that America had a well-prepared army to go to war, but was not intellectually and morally capable to execute the moral mission behind it. In order to help humanity, human dignity should have a meaning within the country primarily. <u>At that time, America itself struggled with human exploitation, oppression and discrimination against the Oakies, the sharecroppers, the black population, and slumdwellers. These groups did not have freedom from want nor freedom from fear, they couldn't understand the meaning of democracy, justice or human rights. </u>What Dr. Hutchin meant was "How would America go to war to implement the Four Freedom principles overseas when they couldn't even implement them in their own country?"

<span>Besides timber Crete exported food, cypress wood, wine, currants, olive oil, wool, cloth, herbs, and purple dye. Its imports consisted of precious stones, copper (most likely from Cyprus), ivory, silver, gold, and other raw material. They also imported tin that was used in the production of bronze alloys. Interestingly, the nearest known tin mines appear as far as Spain, Britain, central Europe, and Iran.

What was the significance of taiwan after the red army took control of china in 1949?
TEA [102]
Taiwan became important because an exile government of China was formed there that claimed to be the rightful government of China. This caused China to have two governments, one that ruled China which was the communist one and one in exile which claimed their right to have power over China but couldn't actually use that power in any way. The problem still exists today and other countries have mostly been neutral on this question.
