Answer:

After becoming a rich and industrilized nation, the US looked for a larger involvement in world affairs to promote its interests globally. Rebellions for independence against the Spanish in both Cuba and the Philippines gave it a pretext for action to achieve those ambitious goals. Washington declared war on Spain and defeated it quickly in 1898. As a result, the US incorporated the Philippines, Puerto Rica, Guam and gained control of Cuba.

Win for taxation policies--loss on reversing social welfare programs.

Reagan was able to reverse taxation and provide breaks for the upper classes to stimulate job growth and wages. However, programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid were so heavily used he was not able to get rid of those programs. 

Reagan wanted to return to a country with free trade, laissez-faire policies, and limited government influence in the economy. However, some of the New Deal and Great Society programs had become widely used especially by the ever growing elderly population. Reagan was not able to stop these programs without major repercussions to his elderly base.<span />

How did the Treaty of Versailles help pave the way for the Nazi party to gain control of Germany?
rjkz [21]

The Treaty of Versailles helped pave the way for the Nazi party to gain control of Germany by creating resentment and anger among the German people. Many German people were very resentful of their government (the Weimar Government) for having signed the peace Treaty in June 1919, since the terms of the Treaty were indeed very harmful to Germany: it took territory from the country, it forced it to pay reparations, and (and this term really caused indignation about the Germans) it blamed it and her allies for having started the war.

Since the Weimar Government was not popular and the country was facing tremeduous economic and social problems, the Nazis were able to gain the support of the German people, and eventually had the control of Germany.
