with Russia and the countries of the world. Ultimately, the SDI never cumulated to a full-on arms race to space, but it was yet another sign showing how viable this all was becoming. As is evident above, the idea of global reach and power, goes hand in hand with the theory of deterrence.

Truman decided to let France its claim in colonizing Vietnam in the hands of France, (727) instead of giving Vietnam the independence they sought since Roosevelt’s administration. That decision of Truman was motivated by two reasons. First, Truman hoped to get support…
