US Foreign Policy

Nations consist of people; people change. Foreign policie's have to reflect that change too.

The United States released a large number of frozen Iranian funds in Western Banks in exchange for the Hostages. To find out more, see the link below.

I dont know sorry

Jimmy Carter himself was never taken hostage, but the Iran Hostage Crisis occurred during his presidency.

He did have international support, from the Soviet Union. However, the Soviets were not willing to defend the regime militarily unless they could be guaranteed that the Tudeh Party (the Iranian Communist Party) would have primary power in Iran. Mosaddegh could not promise this because he did not agree with the Communists' aims in all regards. Mosaddegh was unable to get US assistance because the US feared a Communist-aligned Iran more and favored a strong US-UK relationship. As a result, when the US CIA launched Operation Ajax to restore the Shah in 1953, the Soviets did not directly intervene.

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th US President. He was a Republican and was president from 1901 to 1909. He was not an isolationist at all. His policies in South America and in Colombia and the new Panama demonstrated that he was active in foreign affairs. He was an imperialist in China and brokered the peace treaty between Russia and Japan after the Russo-Japanese War. n fact he won the Nobel Peace Prize for the war ending treaty. He also had dealings with Spain.

He overthrew the previous Qajjar Dynasty.

The Louisiana Purchase.

The Louisiana Purchase was the gaining of 828,800 square miles of France's land by the United States in 1803.

People in the US could be prevented from buying goods from a country that the US government has placed sanctions on.

The Truman doctrine, Marshall Plan, and the Berlin Airlift provided political, economic, and military support for countries fighting against Communist militias and the militaries of sovereign Communist countries. This allowed countries like Greece, Turkey, and West Germany, which could have fallen under Communist influence to remain aligned with the Capitalist West.

The United States supported Israel against the Arab countries of Egypt and Syria in war. However, most Arabs hated US Foreign Policy long before the Arab-Israeli War of 1973.

Many welsh men joined the army in ww1. Because many men worked in the mines they wanted these men to be in the trench because they were familiar with the wet, cold and dark climate.

Many people say that the Welsh were mainly in the front line because the English didn't want their own men dieing. I don't know if this is true or not. Look it up :)

The MONROE DOCTRINE was the crowning foreign policy of President James Monroe, which argued that European Powers would be required to respect the freedom and independence of all countries in the Americas. While it was not the aggressive US foreign policy of the late 20th century, it was a bold step for a relatively powerless country to make against the greatest powers in the world.

The small oil-rich country of Kuwait, historically part of the Ottoman Empire, was invaded by Iraq on August 2, 1990. Kuwaiti forces retreated to neighboring Saudi Arabia and appealed to the UN for help. President George H. W. Bush ordered the deployment of massive military forces along the Saudi border with Kuwait, supported by a coalition of more than a dozen other nations. Between January 17 and February 28, 1991, combat operations in Operation Desert Storm routed the Iraqi army and sent it fleeing back to Iraq. In the retreat, many Kuwaiti oil wells were set ablaze.

In 1979, in anger at the United States' refusal to render the deposed Shah back into Iranian custody, Iranians loyal to the Khomeini regime stormed the US embassy and took all of the embassy personnel hostage. The majority of them were held for 444 days and only finally released when the United States unfroze a number of Iranian foreign bank accounts,

Novembet of 1979.

A factor that led to an imperialist policy in the United States in the 1800's was the desire to expand into new trade markets. Another factor was commercial interests and nationalism. At its worst, it demonstrated greed.

This is true.

Despite all US President Woodrow Wilson's efforts in establishing the League of Nations, the USA did not join the League because of objections raised in the Senate, especially from Republican politicians William E Borah and mainly Henry Cabot Lodge, and Wilson's refusal to compromise ensured that the US would not ratify the Covenant of The League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles.

Joining the League of Nations would be like signing a blank cheque - America didn't want to have to ship its troops half way across the world for disputes that didn't concern them. It didn't want to risk its economy or any more American lives after the losses of WW1. The Republicans wanted to return to Isolationism - being an independent country and not involving itself in other countries affairs.

America also strongly disagreed with the Treaty of Versailles. Many Germans lived in America and Americans felt it was far too harsh. One of the Leagues aims was to uphold the Treaty of Versailles which made some Americans very averse to joining the League.

It was a threat to the western hemisphere

Secretary of State John Jay issued the Open Door Note to propose the Open Door Policy in 1899 to deal with keeping China open to trade with all countries on an equal basis.

Back door diplomacy is basically the practice of nations to conduct politics out of the view of the public and out of the view of the international diplomatic world as required with highly sensitive foreign policy issues.

Basically when there may be a conflict and neither nation is willing to admit its own fault, the nations may use backdoor diplomacy to avoid admitting anything to the public. An example of this was during the Cuban Missile Crisis, backdoor diplomacy was practiced between the USSR and the United States. Neither nation would publically admit to being inferior to the other nation yet both nations knew any act of aggression could result in nuclear war. To save this, they entered backdoor diplomatic negotiations in order to save their nation.

Additional more up to date examples are US & Israeli relations. For example, every US president in the past five administrations has promised to move the US embassy in Tel Aviv, to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. The current president-elect Trump has also made this promise. If Trump is serious, then back door or behind the scenes diplomacy will need to be carried out. That's because it's a highly sensitive issue.

No. After World War I, US foreign policy was focused on isolationism. The US public was deeply disinterested in international politics or involvement. It would be only after World War II that the United States took a more expansionist tone.

YES. The Kuwaiti Government-in-Exile was a strong ally of the United Nations Coalition (led by the United States) because the UN Coalition had the mandate of restoring the independence of Kuwait.
