History

Delvig [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

With the conquest of land in the west, the oppression of the Indians, the forcible appropriation of Texas and other areas of Mexico in 1848, the American policy, influenced by its own sense of mission, the Manifest Destiny, showed imperialist features early on. Before the Civil War, the internal American debate about the admission of slavery had led to considerable delays in the discussion of one's own position on colonies when it expanded to the American continent. This imperialist view was defended by many, but mostly by  conservatives, called "war eagles".

With the victory in the Spanish-American War in 1898, the United States also entered the circle of imperialist world powers. The acquisition of the Philippines and Puerto Rico as well as the occupation of Cuba and the construction of the Panama Canal were also seen in the domestic political debate as the first step towards competing with the European colonial powers.  

After its victory in World War I, the United States received German island groups in the Pacific from the League of Nations as mandate areas. During the Second World War, other Pacific islands came under US rule.

The foreign policy of the USA in South and Central America up to the 1980s, with its interventions and influences, is often cited as an example of neo-imperial power politics.

Consider the United States' and the Soviet Union's plans for post-World War II Germany. How did they contrast?
Vaselesa [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Considering the United States and the Soviet Union's plans for post-World War II Germany, we can say they contrast first of all, in that the US and the USSR had completely different ideologies that soon confronted and created what was known as the Cold War after World War II.

The United States firstly tried to implement the Morgenthau Plan, elaborated by US Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau Jr. in 1944. The idea was to severely diminish Germany's military power to avoid another world war in the future, but the plan was later rejected.

The United States decided to support the reconstruction of Europe with the Marshall Plan and loaned millions of dollars to help reconstruction.

On the other hand, the Soviet Union wanted to maintain power and control over some Eastern European countries, included Germany. The USSR kept control of Berlin and East Germany, while the US kept the support of West Germany.

Soviet leader Joseph Stalin ordered the construction of the Berlin Wall, kept the satellite nations such as Czechoslovakia, Rumania, Albania, Bulgaria, Poland, and Hungary, and instilled the ideology of Communism.

The United States reacted by implementing the policy of containment to avoid the spread of communism to other nations.
