The OAS or the Organization of American States is an organization that was founded in 1948 that seeks to maintain peaceful alliances and cooperation amongst the nations of North and South America.
The Organization of American States (OAS) holds nearly every independent state of the Western Hemisphere, in both North and South America. It was formed in 1948 to strengthen economic, military, and cultural cooperation between its members. Its main goals are to deter any foreign intervention, to keep peace among the members and to strengthen security in the region as well as democratic governments.
It was Tammany Hall that was the location associated with political machines in the 19th century, since this was the place that many men would meet not only to discuss politics but also to elect members to office.
