Foreign policy often seems like a double edged blade and a dubious decision between who to anger. If you make one action, you anger a certain group of people, if you choose to go forth with another action, you open up a whole other can of worms with another country. After the First World War, the United States took a solemn vow to keep out of foreign affairs for fear of getting swept up into another world war. In the period from the 1920’s through the beginning of World War II, the United States…

theory is the idea that working or paying for something is unfair to the worker or payee. Theorists believe that if an individual pays for say a lease on a car, he never sees a return on his investment, he doesn’t actually own the car; the leasing company does.

Economically, America was looking to make money off of the war; however, as America became more involved, the war effort would cost the country. Deals such as “Cash and Carry”…

The Second World War set aflame a world illusioned by the veil of peace put in place by the Treaty of Versailles. The genocide against Jews and Slavs, the destruction of London, Berlin, and Leningrad, and the perversion of humanity to fit a political agenda coalesced into the complete destruction of the European balance of power, and in this power vacuum arose a climate polarised by the Soviet Union and the United States. Yet the Cold War was just one of the many effects of the war that…
