US Foreign Policy

President

Well, the Roosevelt Corollary stated that the United States would pay off the debts of Latin American countries in order to keep Europe out. Roosevelt feared that European powers would loan money to these countries and thus become involved in the western hemisphere (a violation of the Monroe Doctrine). Because of this, this was an extension of the Monroe Doctrine, and became a part of the US foreign policy.
The Roosevelt corollary is important because it added to the Monroe Doctrine in matters of foreign military actions.

The United States didn't join the League of Nations because some Americans, including senators and other government officials, disliked the idea of the League of Nations, because it went against U.S. policies of isolationism.

During the years of 1930-1941 the goals of American foreign policy has changed. They have been struggling with the balance of isolationism and intervention. So instead of getting involved in the war in Europe they just been finding all kinds of ways they can help but not get involved such as trading. But there are reasons to why the policy started as little change then moved on to a more heavy change and most of them came from Franklin D Roosevelt's decisions also the Japanese

First it began with the Good Neighbor Policy which was established by Franklin D Roosevelt and it was the central part of getting America to promote better relations with the Latin Americans and prevent further conflict with them by non intervention and non interference. The Good Neighbor Policy was also to change America from a world power country to a regional power. It interest and activities confined exclusively to the western hemisphere.

Roosevelt's decisions got us into the war because the people did not what anything to do with the war they even took a poll whether to get involved in the war(Doc E), most of the questions had "NO" for the unanimous answer but FDR kept insisting on making all kinds of acts and bills which would allow them to help England in some kind of way and not get involved such as the Lend Lease Bill which give England money and arms also America gave England 50 destroyers in return we get access to eight valuable defensive base sites. Also Congress had passed the neutrality act (Doc C) that told the people no cruising in war zones and no trading to both sides this was to prevent Americans from harm's way but when armed merchant ships used, no more neutrality act because they were told to shoot on site so this is just begging Europe to let America get involved in the war. The cash/n/carry got rid of the people's concerns of credit and not getting paid so now the buyers had to come to the trader with the many and they can carry out the product.

The Japanese played an important role in changing our American foreign policy because they ignored and blasted away to every treaty we had set up with them (Doc A) such as the Kellogg-Briand Pact which renounced aggressive war which made it illegal so you were only allowed to defend yourself also the Nine Power Treaty which reduced the amount of arms and ships also it endorsed China's open door policy which means they were to respect its independence and territorial administrative integrity. But the big issue was that Japan refused to get out of China even though we asked them to and they attacked when no one least expected which was on "Black Sunday" December 7, 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor which caused about three thousand American casualties. This event angered the congress so when it was time to vote whether to go to war the senate and house voted yes, the unofficial war has just became official at this point.

The real question to all this information is why did these goals change? These goals changed because Hitler was becoming too much of a threat and eventually it would come to America at one point. If England falls then there is a chance that America might fall so FDR spent $37 billion dollars to increase our defense. Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill gave a speech to the people about the end results of the war for when they win and the basically said that they will not change nothing not even territorial changes (Doc H).

It was the policy of isolation an example was the Manchurian Crisis even though the League of Nations got involved they were useless due to the fact America was not involved due to the policy of isolation

The animosity or allied-making overtures of both communist and democratic nations towards their neighbors during the Cold War resulted in very strong ties between some, and great divisions between others.

And there was also fear. The threat of nuclear holocaust, was very real around the world, even in no-nuclear nations. Everyone was watching what was about to happen. Would there be war or peace? No one knew.

Allow the U.S. access to trade with China

The US has launched wars against Iraq on two distinct occasions.

The US joined the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991 on January 17, 1991 with bombing raids on Iraqi positions along the Iraqi-Saudi border.

The US joined the Iraq War of 2003-2011 on March 20, 2003 when US soldiers landed in Iraq and began a northwestward march.

The United States provides many forms of AID including: provisioning of food and water, provisioning of money, provisioning of shelters, providing disease treatment expertise, providing mechanical or construction expertise, providing military support or equipment, diplomatic support for international agreements, and numerous other forms of useful expertise.

Washington first foreign policy was issued in 1793. It was called the Neutrality Proclamtaion. He would not take part in the French and British War. However, this was short-lived because many Americans wanted to go to war and Britain started to seize our trade-ships in an effort to make America join the war

George F. Kennan, a career Foreign Service Officer, formulated the policy of “containment,” the basic United States strategy for fighting the cold war (1947–1989) with the Soviet Union.

Both Wanted a bigger role for American businesses in the world.

The policy of Fordism affect workers because they gained higher wages and could buy more goods.

Politicians could no longer declare total war anymore. They had to manuever their politics around the new "limited wars", such as Korea and Vietnam. Wars have been declared or fought by statesmen (politicians) for OVER 2,000 years! Commencing in 1945...no more. Atomic Weapons negate that.

The Iran-Contra Affair involved three nations: (1) the United States, (2) Iran, and (3) Nicaragua. It was a secret arrangement led by US President Ronald Reagan to sell US weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988 and use the profits from those sales to fund the Anti-Communist Contra Rebels in Nicaragua. In this way, Reagan was "officially" keeping his hands clean of the death and destruction in Nicaragua.

The policy of containment, developed by George F. Kennan of the State Department, was adopted by the Truman administration. The policy would allow communism where it already existed, but would use all force necessary to prevent any further expansion. In other words, communism would be "contained" where it presently existed. Because of Russian expansion to the west, a policy carried on by the Soviets, it would be impossible to come to a quick settlement with Stalin, following the Second World War. Since the Russians would test the US by a cautious expansion and not start a major war, Truman developed the Truman Doctrine, with the aid of George Kennan. This Doctrine provided military and financial aid to all the nations that agreed to resist any attempt by Russia to take them over. It was first applied in Greece and Turkey.

the president and his chief advisers are the principal architects of U.S. foreign Policy.

Under the direction and support of the US President,there are actually more than four goals of American foreign policy. The following covers the key elements. 1) National Security: protection of of a nation's borders and territories against invasion or control by foreign powers. Also helps determine how the US deals with other nations. Inter action with the US Department of Defense is required. 2) Free and Open Trade:Maintaining trade with other nations and preserving access to necessary Natural Resources have been basic goals of US foreign policy Interaction with the US Commerce Department is vital to this task. This is an absolute necessity for the US. 3) World Peace: American leaders work for world peace because they believe it helps the nation avoid outside conflicts and aids national security. The US tries to help other nations settle disputes and has also supplied economic aid to at-risk countries, in part to prevent uprising and revolutions unless such activities aid the US. 4)Democratic Governments: The US aids democratic nations and helps others create democratic political systems. With US help, many formerly Communist nations in Europe began to form democratic political systems in the 1990's. 5) Concern for Humanity: Victims of natural disasters or starvation have looked to the US for help. In such times of crisis, the US has responded by providing food, medial supplies, and technology assistance for humanitarian reasons. At the same time, this aid serves the strategic interests of the US by maintaining political stability in the world.

Nationalism is generally defined as patriotic feelings of devotion to one's own country. This can impact foreign policy by leading it to favor the best or selfish interests of the country creating it.
