They sought a policy of isolationism??? so they were isolationists wdym
Beginning with George Washington’s presidency, the United States sought a policy of isolationism and neutrality with regards to the internal affairs of other nations. Early American political leaders argued that with the exception of free trade, self-defense and humanitarian emergencies, the U.S. would do best to avoid permanent alliances that do not serve American interests but instead deflect attention from domestic issues. When World War I broke out in July 1914, the United States actively maintained a stance of neutrality, and President Woodrow Wilson encouraged the U.S. as a whole to avoid becoming emotionally or ideologically involved in the conflict. Americans were more than happy to stay out of the war, and Wilson won a second Presidential term in 1916 by running on a platform of non-interference; the phrase, “he kept us out of war” became a popular slogan used by Wilson’s supporters.
Answer:
Common sense is a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1776, <em>it turned a largely local Massachusetts protest for redress specific grievances into an ideological crusade for the idea of Republicanism because</em> it made people question themselves about being part of Britain or being Independent, Common sense convinced the people they had the means to achieve independence, Thomas Paine exposed the following reasons why Independence was better for the 13 Colonies:
- Britain had no right in killing people at Boston because "a mother would never murder her child".
- The 13 Colonies needed to fight with Britain's enemies even though they weren't their enemies.
- The 13 Colonies needed Independence in order to survive and grow, because they would be able to free trade with other countries like France and Spain.
- The king would never care for the colonies as much as he did for Britain because he lived there.
- The 13 Colonies needed a Republican system were power would come from the people.
- A king should not be trusted with power because by God's grace everyone is equal and it makes no sense someone is qualified for the job just by birth right.
Economic indicators used by economists can indicate the overall health of the economy. They can potentially be anything the investor chooses, but specific pieces of data released by government and non- profit organizations have become widely followed. They include:
1. Employment- perhaps the most important indicator of the health of the economy. It presumes that when people are out of work, they cannot make necessary purchases that drive corporate profits. If favorable, it results in the biggest one-day movements in both bond and stock markets.
2. Inflation - higher inflation will correspond with high discount rates and subsequently lower project value.
3.Consumer activity - what people buy and where they shop can provide valuable information about the economy.
4. Investor activity - e.g. when foreign central banks are buying U.S. treasuries, interest rates often head lower, when rates are lower, stock prices tend to move higher. The reverse is true - less buying, higher interest rates and, depressed stock prices

A primary tension between the Allies was tension between the Western partners (the USA, Britain, and France) over against the Eastern powers (the USSR and China) - and there was tension between the USSR and China as well. There were tensions about how war ends would be pursued. The USSR under Josef Stalin particularly wanted assurances that the war would be fought until an unconditional surrender by both Germany and Japan. Stalin also wanted a second front to be opened in the war in Europe, to relieve pressure on the Eastern front where Germany was battling the USSR.
Roosevelt, Churchill and DeGaulle (representing the US, Britain, and France) met at Casablanca in January, 1943. Stalin was invited but did not attend due to the difficult state of the war in the USSR at that time. They promised to fight on to the Axis Powers' unconditional surrender. They also discussed opening a second front in Western Europe, but did not determine a specific plan.
Roosevelt, Churchill, and Chiang Kai-shek of China met in Cairo in November, 1943, focused particularly on dealing with Japan and the future status of Korea. Stalin had refused to attend this conference because of China's participation. (Those two nations were rivals to one another.)
Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin met in Tehran in November, 1943, just days after the close of the Cairo Conference. Plans for an invasion into France were discussed, to open up a Western front in the European theater of war. This would be Operation Overlord, which we now typically refer to as the "D-Day" invasion at Normandy.
