The United States’ approach to foreign policy had not change conceptually from the days it signed its independence. These ideas were primarily based on protecting US interests overseas and restricting foreign influences in the Americas. Once they furthered themselves politically and
economically, they gained the status of being a world power and they still wanted more. They figured they had to strengthen the country industrially as they needed worldwide markets for its growing industrial and agricultural
surpluses as well as sources of raw materials for manufacturing. They could only achieve these foreign markets with more concentrated efforts on its foreign policy as America was principally guided by economic motives.
The internal economic growth of the United States made them want to look outward for foreign markets. Export earnings increased from 450 million to over a billion from 1870 to the early 1890’s. US business’s were soon
overpowering foreign competition as even American steelmakers could easily compete with any British producer in the world. Everything seemed to be inciting the US to expand abroad. Expansionists throughout America emphasized the resources of what other lands could provide and the wealth that could result from their establishment. For example, Cuba offered an abundance of sugar
plantations and land in Panama would offer America control of the canal.
The economic benefits of a foreign land can be seen through an example of Americans exploring the distant islands of Hawaii. During the course of the early 1800s, missionaries from America traversed on a laborious voyage to Hawaii and ended up settling there. They offered accounts of incredible economic opportunities and possibilities in the Hawaiian islands. Consequently, other Americans proceeded to Hawaii to become sugar planters and to establish lucrative businesses.
Best answer for filling in that blank: EQUALITY
Freedom means that individuals have liberty to have their own beliefs, their own lives, without being controlled or dominated by the government or by others in the country who have different beliefs.
Equality means each individual is to have the same rights within the country, so that there is equal justice for all citizens. Every person is to be treated the same way under the laws of the land.
Note that the French Revolution also took up these themes of liberty and equality, to which they added also "fraternity" (brotherhood) as a third ideal for the government and nation they wished to form.
In my opinion, It's "Divine comedy"
At first, General Grant and President Lincoln greatly opposed the total war strategy, but Army General Sherman convinced them otherwise. The strategy of total war was to destroy both civilian and military resources.
Personal Freedom can only be guaranteed in a rule where the person can decide who rules.
Explanation:
In communism the state has the highest power, over the people.
That means that the state can decide when to restrict the movement of the people or to take away their personal freedom from them if the state deigns it so.
In democracy that is not possible.
The personal freedom of movement and of expression are some of the inalienable rights of a true democracy.
No matter what happens these are the rights that are enshrined to a democracy safeguarded by the elections.
