President Nixon pursued two important policies that both culminated in 1972. In February he visited Beijing, setting in motion normalization of relations with the People's Republic of China. In May, he traveled to the Soviet Union and signed agreements that contained the results of the first Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty talks (SALT I), and new negotiations were begun to extend further arms control and disarmament measures.These developments marked the beginning of a period of “détente” in line with a general tendency among Americans to favor a lower profile in world affairs after the Vietnam War, which finally ended in 1975 with the last withdrawal of U.S. personnel. While improvements in relations with the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China signaled a possible thaw in the Cold War, they did not lead to general improvement in the international climate. The international economy experienced considerable instability, leading to a significant modification of the international financial system in place since the end of World War II.
During the Nixon Administration, international scientific, technological, and environmental issues grew in prominence. In October 1973, Congress passed legislation creating the Bureau of Oceans and International Environments and Scientific Affairs (OES), to handle environmental issues, weather, oceans, Antarctic affairs, atmosphere, fisheries, wildlife conservation, health, and population matters. The Department had difficulty filling the new Assistant Secretary position until January 1975, when the former Atomic Energy Commissioner, Dixie Lee Ray, took the job. However, she resigned six months later claiming that OES was not playing a significant policy role.
Although Secretary Rogers still had broad responsibility for foreign policy, including Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and international organizations, the Department of State resented its exclusion from key policy decisions, and the Secretary continually fought to make his views known.
Answer:
Oil
Explanation:
Ever since oil was discovered and used in the world most of it came from the Middle East. Many wars were fought over who controls that area of the world and are still being fought today. The economy of countries in the Middle East rests on oil for the most part and during World War 1 control over the Balkans meant that there was a direct land connection between the Central Powers and the Middle East.
Answer: Antisemitism became the national doctrine of Germany.
Explanation:
Antisemitism is widespread propaganda among the German people. During his imprisonment, Hitler wrote a book called Mein Kampf (My Struggle), which became the core ideology of the strongest German uncle, the National Socialist struggle. This book is full of hate and racial discrimination. Hitler needed a "scapegoat" to defeat Germany in World War I and blamed the Jews as the culprit for all of Germany's problems. Through robust and unprecedented propaganda, he sought to and succeeded in convincing German society, which began to turn to this ideology of hatred and destruction massively.
