The United States (US) established itself as a great power in the early 20th century. America’s economic dynamism enabled it to become pivotal in both regional and world politics (Brzezinski, 1997: 4). The path was forged through continuous application of US’s growing power; hard and soft alike. America shaped its regional milieu to best serve security and material ends. In the period studied (1898-1918) US foreign policy is characterised by interventionism and the use of military might to further America’s vital interests: security and economic well-being (Art and Waltz, 2004). America also exerted other forms of power. Notably, US gained influence in international diplomacy, swaying global events. To elucidate US’s rise to world-power status, we will focus on specific case-studies, assessing them with the help of the three levels of analysis.

We begin this essay analyzing American economic growth, its sources and its implications for US power and foreign policy. Economic power set the foundations of American power, facilitating leaders to pursue ‘grand’ policies. In this essay we examine how this immense wealth was transformed into great power. Enlightened Presidents and top decision-makers with their visions and strategies were crucial in this crusade to power. McKinley’s shaping of America’s milieu with its positive implications for security and trade were critical starting points. Moreover, Roosevelt’s building of the Panama Canal, his effective defence strategy and his diplomatic achievements were also fundamental. The personal beliefs, values and ideologies of the ruling elite are considered when analyzing these policies. Mahan’s geopolitical suggestions and their influence on policy-making were also decisive (Vevier, 1960: 334). Involvement in WWI established America in a prominent position among world powers. Wilson’s sense of timing, effective planning and successful carrying-out of US participation in WWI propelled America to the top of the world order.

NeTakaya
President Kennedy, in those words from his inaugural speech in 1961, wanted to urge Americans toward public service and global service.  Kennedy was instrumental in establishing the Peace Corps, which was put into place not long after his inauguration (already in March, 1961).  The Peace Corps enlisted Americans as volunteers to give their time to serving underdeveloped nations in the world.

worty [1.4K]

The election of Nelson Mandela as president was the 20th-century event in South Africa's history that is most closely associated with the end of apartheid.

<h3>What is the Apartheid?</h3>

An Apartheid refers to the white-ruled South Africa's Nationalist Party that contributed to the country's harsh and institutionalized system of racial segregation.

The national party came to an end in the early 1990s in a series of steps that led to the formation of a democratic government in 1994.
