The enslavement of african American taken from Africa
Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan came into office with little experience in foreign relations but with a determination to base their policy on moral principles rather than the selfish materialism that they believed had animated their predecessors' programs. Convinced that democracy was gaining strength throughout the world, they were eager to encourage the process. In 1916, the Democratic-controlled Congress promised the residents of the Philippine Islands independence; the next year, Puerto Rico achieved territorial status, and its residents became U.S. citizens. Working closely with Secretary of State Bryan, Wilson signed twenty-two bilateral treaties which agreed to cooling-off periods and outside fact-finding commissions as alternatives to war.
In a statement issued soon after taking office, Wilson declared that the United States hoped “to cultivate the friendship and deserve the confidence” of the Latin American states, but he also emphasized that he believed “just government” must rest “upon the consent of the governed.” Latin American states were hopeful for the prospect of being free to conduct their own affairs without American interference, but Wilson's insistence that their governments be democratic undermined the promise of self-determination. In 1915, Wilson responded to chronic revolution in Haiti by sending in American marines to restore order, and he did the same in the Dominican Republic in 1916. The military occupations that followed failed to create the democratic states that were their stated objective. In 1916, Wilson practiced an old-fashioned form of imperialism by buying the Virgin Islands from their colonial master, Denmark, for $25 million.

On June 17, 1940, The defeated French signed an armistice and quit WW II, leaving Britain standing alone against Germany. In the Summer and fall of that year, German and British forces clashed in the skies over Britain in the first all-air battle in history.
A significant turning point in WW II, the Battle of Britain ended when Germany's Luftwaffe failed to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force . Britain's decisive victory saved the country from a ground invasion from the enemy and proved air power alone could also be used to win a major battle.
The significance about Vicente Fox’s election as Mexico’s presidency in the 2000 is it had produced a new competitive electoral system and has encouraged coalitions to form to the left and right of PRI. Fox was the first president elected from an opposing party since Francisco Madero in 1910.
