Answer:

In the fall of 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union came as close as they ever would to global nuclear war. Hoping to correct what he saw as a strategic imbalance with the United States, Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev began secretly deploying medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles to Fidel Castro's Cuba. Once operational, these nuclear-armed weapons could have been used on cities and military targets in most of the continental United States. Before this happened, however, U.S. intelligence discovered Khrushchev's brash maneuver. In what became known as the Cuban Missile Crisis, President John F. Kennedy and an alerted and aroused American government, military, and public compelled the Soviets to remove not only their missiles, but also all of their offensive weapons, from Cuba

Explain why, in the years before it entered World War I, the United States did more business with the Allies than with Germany.

ratelena [41]

The US did more business with the Allies than with Germany because they were closer to the Allies in politics and in language.

America and Great Britain spoke English and had similar laws. They also had similar ancestry and Americans sympathized more with Britain and France.

Germany was also blocked off by a British blockade so trading with them would have been useless. Nothing would get through.

dalvyx [7]

The Roosevelt Corollary was a revision to the Monroe Doctrine.

In 1904, Roosevelt decided to conform to former Monroe Doctrine. The corollary was a foreign policy by which the United States will intervene in any conflict between European countries and Latin American countries. This will insure that European claims over Latin American countries will be legitimate and will avoid having the European claims directly.
