The Global Defense Initiative was started by the U.N. to combat the terrorist activities of the Brotherhood of Nod. The symbol for GDI(Global Defense Initiative) is a golden eagle.
The outbreak of war in Europe significantly shifted U.S. foreign and defense policy from isolationism to active engagement. Initially, the U.S. provided support to Allied nations through programs like Lend-Lease, which marked a commitment to counter Axis powers. As the war progressed, the U.S. began to mobilize its military and ultimately entered the conflict after the attack on Pearl Harbor, leading to a more assertive role in global affairs and the establishment of a defense strategy focused on deterring future threats. This pivot laid the groundwork for the U.S. to emerge as a global superpower post-war.
Hernan Cortes ordered his men to burn all but one of their ships. Cortes reasoned that by eliminating their only method of retreat, his men had no choice but to fight hard to win against the Aztecs, which they ultimately did (Global Business Today (2010)).
The two primary superpowers in the modern world are the United States and China. The U.S. maintains its influence through a strong military presence, economic power, and cultural reach, while China is rapidly expanding its global influence through economic growth and strategic initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative. Both countries play significant roles in international politics, economics, and security, shaping global dynamics. Their relationship is characterized by competition and cooperation across various sectors.
Membership in NATO significantly shaped Canada's foreign policy by aligning it more closely with Western allies during the Cold War, emphasizing collective defense and security. It led Canada to participate in various military operations and peacekeeping missions, reinforcing its commitment to multilateralism and international cooperation. Additionally, NATO membership fostered stronger diplomatic ties with the U.S. and European nations, influencing Canada's stance on global issues and security strategies. Overall, Canada's foreign policy became increasingly intertwined with NATO's objectives, reflecting a commitment to collective defense and global stability.
America formed alliances with other countries to enhance security, promote economic interests, and address global challenges such as terrorism and climate change. These partnerships, exemplified by NATO and various trade agreements, aimed to create a collective defense framework and foster international stability. Additionally, alliances helped the U.S. to counter adversarial powers and assert its influence on the global stage. Collaborative efforts also facilitated humanitarian initiatives and the promotion of democratic values.
