I think I should give the reason for my being in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the argument of “outsiders coming

in.” . . . Several months ago our local affiliate here in Birmingham invited us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented and when the hour came we lived up to our promises. So I am here, along with several members of my staff, because we were invited here. I am here because I have basic organizational ties here.

How did NATO represent a historic change in American foreign policy? It created military bases outside the continental United St
Julli [10]

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: " It committed the United States to a peacetime alliance to defend other nations." NATO represent a historic change in American foreign policy by committing the United States to a peacetime alliance to defend other nations. 

Explanation:

Strong control of Germany isn't specifically true. They have their personal government. The Monroe Doctrine if recollection assists me is a sign for European nations to keep out of the New World .We had roots in other places, like the Philippines I suspect, and in Hawaii, etc. I can't think of any companies that commissioned us to protect other countries though.
