The Long Telegram, sent by U.S. diplomat George F. Kennan in 1946, was significant as it articulated the dangers of Soviet expansionism and laid the groundwork for American Cold War policy. Kennan argued that the Soviet Union was inherently expansionist and that the U.S. should adopt a strategy of containment to prevent the spread of communism. This telegram influenced U.S. foreign policy for decades, shaping responses to various global conflicts and the overall strategy of the Cold War. It highlighted the ideological divide between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, setting the stage for a prolonged geopolitical struggle.

The Great Depression destabilized economies worldwide, leading to widespread unemployment and social unrest. In Germany, the economic crisis facilitated the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, who exploited public discontent by promoting nationalist and expansionist agendas. The resulting militarization and aggressive foreign policies, particularly in Europe and Asia, contributed to the breakdown of diplomatic relations and ultimately the outbreak of World War II in 1939. The economic turmoil thus played a crucial role in fostering the conditions that led to global conflict.

This conflict resulted in the U.S. acquiring territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, marking a pivotal shift towards imperialism. The war underscored a growing belief in manifest destiny and the idea that the U.S. had a role to play on the global stage, prompting further interest in foreign territories and influence. This expansionist sentiment was driven by economic interests, national security concerns, and a belief in American exceptionalism.
Switzerland has not been at war with another nation since 1815. Until 1515, Switzerland led an expansionist policy noted by many successful invasions of foreign nations.

The Age of Exploration, fueled by advancements in navigation and maritime technology, allowed them to establish colonies and exploit local populations. Additionally, the spread of Christianity and national pride played significant roles in justifying their expansionist ambitions. Ultimately, these conquests significantly reshaped global dynamics and established colonial empires.
