In the 1940s, the United States was ruled by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who served from 1933 until his death in 1945. The government was characterized by strong federal leadership, particularly during World War II, as Roosevelt implemented policies to mobilize the economy for war efforts and maintain national unity. The era also saw the expansion of social programs and government intervention in the economy, a legacy of the New Deal. After Roosevelt's death, Harry S. Truman assumed the presidency and continued to navigate the complexities of post-war recovery and the beginning of the Cold War.

Where can an oligarchy be found?

Oligarchy means, "rule by a group." It is the most common form of government in all of history. And it is the most common form of government today. Most of the nations of the world are ruled by a powerful few. Every king has his council of nobles or earls. Every dictator has his bureaucrats. And every president has his cabinet. These types of government aren't ruled by one, they are ruled by a group.

How did the Red Scare represent American fears of Communism?

The Red Scare, particularly in the late 1940s and early 1950s, embodied American fears of Communism by amplifying concerns about the potential infiltration of communist ideology into American society and government. Fueled by events like the Russian Revolution and the Cold War, these fears led to widespread paranoia, witch hunts, and the persecution of individuals suspected of communist affiliations, exemplified by McCarthyism. The fear of losing democratic values and the influence of Soviet power contributed to a climate of suspicion, resulting in significant social and political consequences in the United States.


How did invasions contribute to the beginning of the federal system?
