The answer is indeed a confusing one, and seems incomplete. However, the during WWII, the Soviet Union invaded Eastern Europe and took it from German control. However, once the war ended, the Soviet troops that had liberated Eastern Europe maintained their occupation and kept control over the area. Their control of Eastern Europe was the extent of Communist control.
Answer:
The Spanish-American War influenced the emergence of the United States as a world power in two key ways:
Explanation:
The first way is that it showed the military prowess of the U.S., a relatively young nation at the time (a little over 100 years old), against a much older nation, Spain, that had been a world-encompassing empire just a century earlier.
The second way is that it gave the United States possession of some of its first territories or colonies: Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Phillippines. These made the United States an Empire, that had colonies just like the old European Empires like Britain and France.
These explanations "make people feel safer and the
world more comprehensible".
The just-world hypothesis otherwise
called just world fallacy is the cognitive inclination or supposition that a
man's activities are innately disposed to convey ethically reasonable and
fitting results to that individual, to the finish of every honorable activity
being in the end compensated and every insidious activity inevitably rebuffed.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
What responsibilities, if any, do Americans have to promote representative democracy and constitutional government in other nations?
The United States has no responsibility to promote democracy in other countries because that would be intromission in other nations. In today's world, that is not acceptable. Every country is autonomous and has its own right to establish the best form of government their citizens approve.
What the US can do is to be an example of a democratic government by its actions and legislation. It can show other countries the possibilities that democracy offers. However, every country has its own problems and challenges, including the US. That is why it is important to respect the sovereignty of each country.
