The foreign policies of the United States regarding the Soviet Union was of control and the latter’s attitude towards the U.S. was unquestionably negative. The political relation between the U.S. and the Soviet Union was declining because of the political pressure between the two nations when President Ronald Reagan assumed office. In the pre-Reagan period the relation between the U.S. and the Soviet Union was weakened primarily by the latter’s attack of Afghanistan on December 26, 1979 (“United States Relation with Russia: The Cold War”, n.d.).

    Tragedy of American Diplomacy Review William Appleman Williams’s essay The Tragedy of American Diplomacy centers around American expansion, and the idealistic and economic motivators which inspired it. Williams frames his narrative using a critique of expansionist goals, focusing on America’s attempts at extending its virtues in the world and create a new era of peace. He decides the true tragedy of American diplomacy is that actions undertaken in the name of humanitarianism, self-determination, and peace actually work in opposition to those ideals. Instead of making the world a better place, the United States turns into an oppressive force abroad. While the United States may desire to help others, the only way they will is if they maintain…

I will focus on regime-type, geographical proximity and military capabilities. The authors have their arguments against CoC theory supported by research findings.…
