US Foreign Policy

The law that specifically deals with encryption policy in the United States is the Export Administration Act (EAA) of 1979. This law regulates the export of encryption software and products from the US, imposing certain requirements and restrictions on their exportation. However, it is worth noting that the EAA expired in 2001 and has not been reauthorized, so its provisions are currently not in effect.

limit tensions among the great powers in the Pacific and protect China's territorial integrity.

A decision to intervene in some human rights situations but not others

The policy of containment was the theory that communism was scattered and could be contained as a method of preventing its spread. The Truman Doctrine supported United States intervention whenever the Soviet Union attempted to take authoritarian control, or pressure smaller democratic countries. The Marshall Plane provided restoration funding for the allies, with the exclusion of Russia. NATO formed a group that would join with the other member countries to protect countries from invasion or aggression from belligerent countries. The four policies served the purpose of uniting the allies, containing the communist threat, promising to assist countries who were being bullied upon by the Soviet Union, and joining other NATO allies in keeping peace in western Europe.

The presumption in the question is a commonly made one, but it is incorrect. The US is not at war with Muslims as a religious group. The US is at war with Islamism, which is the belief that theocratic states governed by Islamic Law should be implemented as political systems throughout the world, but especially in Muslim-majority countries. Some of the biggest allies that the US has in its war against Islamism are Secular-Minded Muslims who see the danger Islamism poses to them and those they love. This system of governance is not only antithetical to the idea of secularism, which defines US political philosophy, results in numerous human rights abuses to those unfortunate enough to live under such under such a system, but also sanctions violent attacks against the US and its citizens. This last problem is what makes it imperative for the United States to minimize the presence of Islamism and Islamists.

If that were to happen, oil prices could soar and deliver a blow to already wobbly Western economies. Drivers would pay more for gasoline, airlines would spend more on fuel and shippers would pay more for diesel. That would leave people and companies with less money to spend and invest.

not sure, but guessing Herbert Hoover

John Hay's first note did not intimidate foreign diplomats and had little effect on the actions of Japan or the European Powers. The United States was seen as a secondary world power and therefore not a country that would be able to intimidate the great world powers.

The USS Constellation was the result of the US congress authorizing President John Adams to rebuild the US navy. The warships first captain was Thomas Truxton and in 1799 he swiftly surprised France by the capture of French Frigate, the L' Insurgente.

It has a responsibility to create and maintain policies and communication with foreign governments.

President Woodrow Wilson ordered Veracruz occupied in April of 1914, to protect American interests.

The same reason no one should invade anyone. War is gruesome. More specifically, Iranians are a very warm and friendly people. They are fascinated by western culture and praise the development of western industry. They love westerners. They have families and friends who they love. If the U.S. invades, all these innocent people will die. Don't forget, the media is very exaggerated and only shows the 1% of Iranians who provoke invasion. All other Iranians are normal people.

The 1817 agreement between the US and the UK on naval operations in the Great Lakes was due to the negotiations between the acting US Secretary of State, Richard Rush and Britain's Charles Bagot.

America and Israel currently have some diplomatic disagreements, but they are certainly not fighting. The US and Israel still have numerous arms trade agreements going on.

The United States pressed its allies to vote in favor of UNGA Resolution 181 (II) which would give the Jews of Mandatory Palestine the right to declare an independent state (e.g. Israel). Unlike the Soviet Union, the United States did not provide an arms to nascent Israel.

The US has no issue with Iran having a program to produce nuclear energy in accordance with IAEA guidelines and oversight. However, Iran has repeatedly prevented IAEA inspectors from visiting sites where nuclear weapons are rumored to be in production. As a result, the United States is very distrustful that Iran is engaging in a peaceful nuclear energy production program and most European nations share the US's skepticism on the matter. The United States also categorically opposes Iran having a nuclear weapon given that Iran has expressed militancy towards and supported/founded militant groups that act against a number of key US allies in the Middle East, like Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States.

Since I do not work for the State Department, this is the policy as far as I understand the State Department's articulations on the matter. As a result, take the answer with a grain of salt.

Yes, the United States does have a SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) with the Kingdom of Thailand.

idk what acts your talking about, but before WW2 the US was beginning to have more imperialistic policies. These can be seen in the US interactions with Latin America and Asia.

No.

NO. 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.

President Carter permited the deposed Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to come to the US so he could receive medical treatment for cancer. Iranian militants felt this action was the West interfering with their country's business and argued that the Shah should be returned to Iran to stand trial for his crimes against the country.

The term Banana Wars was coined to describe US interference in Central America from 1898 to 1934. So from the end of the Spanish American War until the Good Neighbor Policy by Franklin W. Roosevelt, the US intervened in Haiti, Cuba, Panama, Honduras, and Mexico.

They were meant to protect the U.S. business interests in China ~
