US Foreign Policy

The United States did not ignore the Holocaust. The world didn't really know that the Holocaust was occurring. That's the way it works with a regime. Information doesn't get in or out. The rest of the world simply knew that Nazi Germany was fighting other nations. When tales of the Holocaust did get out, it sounded so horrifying that people didn't believe it could be possible. America did not ignore the War either. We were in it far before GI's ever shipped out. We gave a great deal of financial support to the Allies, which is one of the reasons Pearl Harbor occurred. But without knowledge of the Holocaust, America thought it was just another European war. We thought it was just a turf war, and as such was none of our business. That's why America stayed out of it. But we didn't ignore it. Read about the Holocaust. It was a massive event. Not knowing about it today is ignoring it. You need to delve deeper than simply asking a question to people you don't even know over the internet.

By mid 1942 the US and British governments were well informed about they Holocaust. In practice, there was very little that they could do in the short term.

From about November 1942 on the Holocaust was reported in the media and people even set up bodies to try to lessen the toll, but for some reason all this has been forgotten.

During George Washington's presidency, the United States faced several foreign policy challenges, most notably relations with France and Britain. The French Revolution strained U.S.-French relations, leading to debates over whether to support France or maintain neutrality. Additionally, tensions with Britain persisted due to issues like impressment of American sailors and trade restrictions, prompting Washington to advocate for a neutral stance to avoid entanglement in European conflicts. His Farewell Address emphasized the importance of avoiding permanent alliances, a principle that shaped American foreign policy for years to come.

The United States first got involved in Middle Eastern affairs during a number of Post-World War II crises such as the Israeli-Arab Conflict, the Coup d'État of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran, and the petroleum trade with the newly independent Arab Nations.

There are several reasons, including, but not limited to: Carter having angered the Russians by praising their disloyal citizens, Carter having a new plan for arms limitation, and Carter discontinuing military aid to Argentina, Brazil and Ethiopia.

1. foreign policy:

   A policy governing international relations.

George Washington believed that European alliances knew it would ruin the new and untried nation. The political parties (factions) were enough, and he needed to make sure the nation didn't make any more mistakes.

Radical followers of the Ayatollah Khomeini overran the U.S. Embassy and took Americans hostage to protest the admission of the Shah of Iran into the United States for medical treatment, or because the US was spying on Iran from inside the embassy.

Because the United States wants to steal Iraq's oil is the most prevalent explanation. They used the September 11 attack as an excuse to invade Iraq. They firstly wanted to tell the world that Iraq supported Al Quaida. When that excuse fell though the mat, they wanted to tell the world they invaded cause Iraq has Weapons of Mass Destruction. They didnt have any of those.

My idea is this. America was attacked and the government needed to respond. The people that elect the president wanted a response and they wanted an immediate one. So The US government had to oblige and they took a world map and decided what countries to invade as to apease the American public's hunger for revenge. They singled out Iraq and since that day have been murdering Iraqis in their thousands on a daily basis.

Keep in mind we invaded Afghanistan first in 2001 and did not invade Iraq until 2003.

Everyone is a critic and has their own political views and beliefs. Look back to Sept 11, 2001 when the US was attacked by terrorists, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were a direct response to those attacks. In reality the decision made by President Bush and at that time a Democratic Congress, the choice was a double edged sword, if they choose to do nothing they would have been criticized and looked at as being soft to the world and would not retaliate against any form of attack on US soil and instead of sitting back and taking that blow we as American people banded together for the first time in years. Americans started flying American Flags, Supporting Troops and became more patriotic all overnight. We did go to the Middle East in search of WMD's, but we also went to find and disband extremist organizations and to take extremist leaders out of control. The left wing Liberals/Democrats and the media portrayed their fellow Americans as to be oil seeking, Blood Hungry, world dominating, baby killers. Why attack fellow Americans who serve in the Military when they are just following orders, doing their job, serving their country, protecting their fellow Americans and the integrity of the US Constitution from enemy attacks. In regards to the Oil, have we actually gained anything oil related from being in Iraq, do we own the Iraqi oil fields and how much oil do the US Soldiers pump out of Iraq daily. To answer that question it is quite simple no and none. The US in regards to Oil in Iraq is to protect the integrity of the Worlds supply of oil produced in the Middle East by taking it out of the hands of extremist groups who would destroy the oil supply to destroy the economic stability of the world, still no American or Coalition Forces are involved and the US does not control or profit from any or a single one Oil Field in Iraq. We are doing great things in Iraq, we have provided the majority or Iraqi citizens with electricity, running water, shelter, educational institutes's, a law enforcement force, firefighters and most important and government that has the interests of Iraq and its citizens in mind. While President Bush was in office the news media showed chaos and military actions all day on television (a bash against Bush), since Obama has been in office how much of the wars on terrorism have you seen on television, realistically on when something terrible happens and its only showed for 30 seconds and never aired again. Many Americans heard that the US was pulling out of Iraq but the media failed to mention that President Obama was pushing more troops in to Afghanistan. We will be in Iraq and Afghanistan for the next 10-20 years just as we are still in Germany (since WW2), Korea (since Korean War), Japan (since Atomic bombs in WW2) and many more. Just support those brave Americans who volunteered to serve the US and if you must hate anyone hate your President, Congressman, Senators and political leaders they are the ones keeping soldiers overseas. If you still have an issue with that you might want begin your political career or find yourself a new country to live in.

Egypt is the second-largest individual recipient of American Aid (after Israel) and this money has gone to fund the Egyptian Army primarily as well as infrastructure maintenance. Given the corruption in the Mubarak, Morsi, and Sissi Regimes, not much of this money trickled down to Egyptian commoners, but it was there. The United States maintains a strategic alliance with Egypt also on account of the Suez Canal which sees most of the Persian Gulf oil-tankers pass through.

None. Nuclear weapons have not been, nor are likely to, authorized for use.

The Open Door Policy was found in the year 1899.

Were American foreign policy decisions in the 1920's justified?

Thinking of it as a religious conflict only confuses things. Israel is an attempt by the Jews as a people to have their own country in their historic homeland. They did not do this by stealing the land, but by buying it and developing it. Most of the people who did this were not religious. Because most of the land had been owned by (Ottoman) absentee landlords, (Arab) tenant farmers did get displaced when the Jews began farming it. But the fundamental issue is that Arabs did not want to share the land with a non-Arab country. Although Arabs have been successful in portraying it as a religious battle, and in getting the support of most Muslim countries, it's really a conflict between Arabs and Jews, not Muslims and Jews. Probably the results would have been about the same if instead of Jews it had been (Muslim) Turks or Persians.

America is on the receiving end of this due to its need for oil and regional security. Israel has promoted American values and engaged in high-level diplomatic, military, technological, and economic exchanges with the United States. As a result, the United States has become a primary ally of Israel's and vice versa. Since the conflict is a national or ethnic one and not actually a religious one, it makes sense that America's grounds for supporting Israel are strategic, not religious.

Mohamad reza shah pahlavi aka aryamehr was the consistently the most pro US leader in middle east during his 37 reign. Iran's economy and military and anything in between was some how modeled Americans.He was the first Muslim leader to establish realtionship with Israel and urged president saddat of Egypt to make peace with the Jewish state. He aligned Iran's interest with that of USA in the region and was instrumental in keeping soviet union's ambitions in check by signing many military agreements with US. Ironically in his last interview with David forest in Panama , the shah blamed the US for his ouster. The shah had grown very powerfull and was begining to move away from US camp, this led to falling in favor with US and his fall from power. He did what he could to keep Iran growing and being in peace with its neighbors in that very volitale region.
Oil, plain and simple. U.S. and Britains have been tangled up in the oil business in the Mideast for many years. Brits started all this. Churchill was key, initially. Later, Truman refused to involve the U.S. but, later, Eisenhower accept Brit BS that they would turn Commies if U.S. didn't help. U.S. got tangled up in Iran and then with Israel and now Iraq and Afghanistan.

US feelings were "let Europe handle it's own affairs." When un-restricted sub warfare began sinking US ships...then it involved the US; and in 1917, the US went to war.

Many people like to relate the hatred extreme Muslims have for Americans to the support of Israel and to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. People who believe these are the reasons extreme Muslims hate America are, to put it politely, not well versed in the history. They hate America because we are a Christian nation, we believe in education, we believe women as being equal to men, we do not support shria law, and above all else we are not a Muslim nation. History proves these are the reasons extreme Muslims hate, the most recent example being Lebanon which was a Christian nation in the midst of an Arab world. Lebanon was a place where Muslims and Christians alike prospered until the immigration of more extreme Muslims drowned out the voice of moderate Muslims by execution and intimidation.

The Koran describes anybody not of Islam to be "Infidels". The Koran acknowledges the enmity and hatred of Christians, and instead of teaching acceptance, the Koran accepts the hatred and explains this will be the way of life until the resurrection.

Anybody who finds themselves asking this question, please don't simply take the answer here as fact, do research. I urge you to research what has happened in the past and dig further that what the mainstream media publishes. Once you have done that I am positive you will find yourself at a simple yet seemingly complicated resolution, they hate America becasue America is a Christian nation.

America is at war because of paranoia rapidly spreading throughout the minds of Americans, because of the 9/11 terrorist attack on The World Trade Center in 2001. The American government has issued this war because of the fear that another attack will occur. However, even though this reason does sound liable, thousands of Afghanistan citizens will lose their lives based on the actions of one colt group.

U.S. Secretary of State John Hay wrote the Open Door Notes in 1899-1900.
