Sanctions are a way of achieving foreign policy goals without resorting to military interventions. An example would be refusing to trade with a country until it improves its human rights record. The economic influence of imposing trade sanctions against a country might be a way to move that country along toward a foreign policy goal important to the United States, such as the recognition of universal human rights.

The United States uses sanctions as a way to punish foreign countries. Sanctions are essentially economic punishments made by one country against another. These punishments can include trade restrictions, tariffs (taxes on imported goods), or trade barriers. By implementing a sanction, one country is hurting another country's economy and financial well being.

In using these, the US hopes that the country who they punish will change whatever policy the US disagrees with.

AP US History question:

vodka [1.7K]

In general, this is true. The main motives for the US going into both these wars was born from "Manifest Destiny" which dictated that the US was destined to reach from coast to coast. This left very little chance of the opposition winning with a logical argument against invasion. It was a mission of conquest, not defense.

Marcel duchamp's bicycle wheel was constructed using:

NISA [10]

It was constructed using objects that he could find around him. For example, he had only a single wheel mounted on a bicycle fork and it all stood on a simple white chair. He said the idea behind it was that he always wanted to mount it on a chair and just watch it turn around and around infinitely.
