Answer:

D. Are happening at this time.

Explanation:

When historians talk about the present they are referring to events that are happening at this time. They must not precisely talk about events happening at the same time, they could take five years to refer to as the present.

If you´re reading a book and in there the author talks about the present you have to place yourself in the context in which the book was wrote. For example, a book of 1920 talking about the greatest war the world has ever seen he is referring to World War I.

I hope this answer helps you.

The present is a time frame that is usually happening at the moment. For example, 1850 is the past, 2017 is the present, and 2037 is the future.

How does Wallace’s description of American foreign policy compare to Truman’s and Novikov’s?
Digiron [165]
Henry Wallace's description of American foreign policy was somewhere between the positions of President Truman and Soviet ambassador Novikov.  Wallace acknowledged that America's policy was an attempt to establish and safeguard democracy in other nations.  But he also noted that attempts to do so in Eastern Europe would inevitably be seen by the Soviets as a threat to their security, even as an attempt to destroy the Soviet Union.    

President Truman's position (as stated in the speech in March, 1947, in which he laid out the "Truman Doctrine"), was that those who supported a free and democratic way of life had to oppose governments that forced the will of a minority upon the rest of society by oppression and by controlling the media and suppressing dissent.  

Soviet ambassador Nikolai Novikov went as far as to accuse the Americans of imperialism as the essence of their foreign policy, in the telegram he sent sent to the Soviet leadership in September, 1946.

Henry Wallace had been Vice-President of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1941-1945, prior to Harry Truman serving in that role.  When Truman became president after FDR's death, Wallace served in the Truman administration as Secretary of Commerce.  After his letter to President Truman in July, 1946, and other controversial comments he made, Truman dismissed Wallace from his administration (in September, 1946).  Truman and Wallace definitely did not see eye-to-eye on foreign policy, especially in regard to the Soviet Union.
