Polk was very anxious to purchase California from Mexico, and he knew that Mexico would refuse to give it up. He thought there was no time to be lost, as he feared that England would seize it as a strong point on the Pacific, the wisest course was what we would now call "eyeball" diplomacy — staring hard at the opponent and expecting him to blink first. This technique was beginning to work with England, and Polk had no doubt that it would also work with Mexico.

Explanation:

  • The borders of European nations would be redrawn.

Nations in East Europe and the territory that Germany had occupied were reshaped.

Lost territories included East Prussia, Farther Pomerania, Neumark, West Upper Silesia, Lower Silesia.

The USSR territorial ambitions made him expand at the cost of eastern European countries. Some countries got indeed bigger: Poland had recovered again most of its boundaries.

  • Germany would be forced to pay reparations to the Allies.

Germany was made again responsible for paying reparations after World War II. Total debt of over $300 billion, later Germany was responsible for paying over $3 billion.

The debt was to pay the devastation it caused on European cities.

  • Leaders of Nazi Germany would be made to stand trial for war crimes.

Hans Frank, Wilhelm Frick, Julius Streicher, Alfred Rosenberg, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Fritz Sauckel, Alfred Jodl, Wilhelm Keitel, and Arthur Seyss-Inquart were found all guilty.

A total of 12 officials were sentenced to death by hanging. Some of them were never captured and others committed s.u.i.c.i.d.e before the hanging.
