1) What was Washington's view of what US foreign policy ought to be? Why did he argue that nations should avoid antipathies and passionate attachments toward other nations? What should guide US foreign policy? Why?
He believed that the United States should have good relations with all countries but they should have not attachment to said countries. He believed that attachment to other countries would draw them into a war that they had no common interest being involved in. Antipathies also led to more frequent collisions and conflicts which is what the US did not want. Becoming friends with a stronger nation meant the weaker nation would become a satellite for the stronger one. In this case the US would be the weaker country and therefore the satellite. Promote trade and a commercial relationship but keep political connection at a minimum.
The US was weak at this time militarily and economically they had just been freed from British colonial control and needed trade only at this time

Containment
The first step in cleaning up a water-based spill is to contain it. Depending on the severity of the spill, you may want to spread out a containment berm to keep the liquid confined to a particular area. If an above-ground tank is leaking a water-based chemical, for instance, you could lay out a berm underneath the source of the leak. Assuming the berm is large enough, it should catch the water-based liquid so it doesn’t spread on the floor.
Note: we talk about the differences between containment booms and berms in one of our previous blog posts. It’s not uncommon for people to confuse these two spill cleanup tools with one another. While booms and berms share some similarities, there are notable differences between the two that shouldn’t go unnoticed.
Clean Up
Once the spill has been properly contained, you should then work on cleaning it up. The good news is that water-based spills are typically easier to clean, but the bad news is that you’ll still have to put some elbow grease into it.
There are several different products designed for spill cleanups, so use them to your advantage. You can use absorbent socks, pillows, pads, mats and rolls to help soak up the water-based liquid. Place these absorbent items into the heart of the spill so they will soak up the water-based liquid. When they are full, carefully remove them from the spill area and dispose of them in a plastic garbage bag. Continue soaking up the spill until there’s no remaining liquid left behind.
When choosing products to clean up a water-based spill, it’s best to stick with ones labeled “universal.” Universal spill cleanup products are all-purpose and can be used for a wide variety of instances, including both aggressive and non-aggressive spills.
The Great Depression of 1929-33 was the most severe economic crisis of modern times. Millions of people lost their jobs, and many farmers and businesses were bankrupted. Industrialized nations and those supplying primary products (food and raw materials) were all affected in one way or another.
States like Oklahoma, the panhandle of Texas, Kansas, Colorado and Portions of New Mexico were devastated.
Obama's visit was historic considering that he is the first American president to ever visit the country. What is also interesting is that the US bombed Laos in the 70s with over 2 million tons of bombs. During his visit, Obama promised that the US would double its financial aid to the country over the course of the following three years, which was also an interesting part of the visit.
