Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The United States for the first time had acquired an overseas empire.

Explanation:

Spanish-American War (1898) is considered a turning point in American foreign policy because in 1898, the war ended in the victory for the United States and the end of the Spanish Empire in the Pacific and Caribbean. Due to this victory, the United States for the first time had acquired an overseas empire and take the charge in the Pacific and Caribbean region. Harry Truman’s presidency (1945-43) was also marked a turning point in American foreign policy because at this time, the policy of regaining new territory were stopped and the policy of preventing the spread of Communism was adopted. The Truman Doctrine was a policy of aiding those countries which are in danger of falling into Communism.

Answer 2

Answer: During his eight years in office, President Harry Truman faced many challenging international affairs. He led the US through World War II, which ended, as well as the Cold War, which started. He also intervened in the Korean Peninsula and supported Israel's creation.

Truman inherited a national security team that was already heavily focused on protecting Roosevelt. He would transform it into a more streamlined operation during his presidency. Truman substituted him with Gen. George Marshall. Marshall was the Army's chief of staff during the Korean War. Truman also reformed the military and national security structure through the passage of the National Defense Act in 1947. It unified the various military branches under a single military division headed by a civilian secretary of defense. The NSC grew in prestige and power during its first years due to the U.S. involvement in the Korean War. When Truman took office on April 12, 1945, the end of World War II in Europe was near. However, the war with Japan was far from over. Truman knew that there was another option. In July, while attending the Potsdam summit, he learned that a test of the atomic bomb had been successful. Truman's decision to use the bomb against Japan was made after Japanese leaders failed to agree to unconditional surrender. On August 6, 1945, a B-29 bomber known as Enola Gay, dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. It flattened the city and killed over 100,000 people.

He believed that the US and its allies could maintain a favorable relationship despite the potential conflicts that might arise between them. At the Potsdam conference, Stalin told Truman that he would not hesitate to join the war in the Pacific if asked. Despite the lack of progress, Truman still accepted Stalin's terms. Truman was able to get along with his fellow leaders, but the inability to resolve outstanding issues between Poland and Germany revealed deep divisions between the two nations. The US used diplomacy and military power to blunt Soviet intentions in Ukraine and Georgia. In January 1946, Truman told Byrnes that he was tired of babying the Soviets. Then, in February, George Kennan delivered his assessment of the Soviet Union's foreign policy. Winston Churchill warned that the Soviet Union was building an iron curtain across Europe.  His words brought the public's attention to the threat posed by the Soviets. In response, the UK received a loan from the US to help it rebuild. In Germany, Byrnes committed the US to helping the country recover. Truman's decisions to dismiss Henry Wallace and appoint James Baker as commerce secretary in 1946 signaled an emerging worldview among policymakers that the US needs to protect its interests from Soviet expansion.

Answers

Answer:

A) Korematsu v. United States was a case during World War 2. Fred Korematsu refused to report to an assembly center. He was convicted in a federal district court for violating the military order. Korematsu appealed his conviction arguing that the exclusion of Japanese Americans constituted a race based classification, that violated the equal protection cost.

how did Nelson Mandela accomplish his goals as president

Answers

ANSWER :

Mandela and de Klerk led efforts to negotiate an end to apartheid, which resulted in the 1994 multiracial general election in which Mandela led the ANC to victory and became president.

Hope it helps ya...!!

Answer:

Nelson Mandela, one of the most recognizable human rights symbols of the twentieth century, is a man whose dedication to the liberties of his people inspires human rights advocates throughout the world.

Born in Transkei, South Africa, Mandela was the son of a tribal chief, and educated himself with a university degree and law degree. In 1944, he joined the African National Congress (ANC) and actively worked to abolish the apartheid policies of the ruling National Party. On trial for his actions, Mandela declared, “I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

Sentenced to life imprisonment, Mandela became a powerful symbol of resistance for the rising anti-apartheid movement, repeatedly refusing to compromise his political position to obtain his freedom. Finally released in February 1990, he intensified the battle against oppression to attain the goals he and others had set out to accomplish almost four decades earlier.

In May 1994, Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa’s first black president, a position he held until 1999. He presided over the transition from minority rule and apartheid, winning international respect for his advocacy of national and international reconciliation. An international celebration of his life and rededication to his goals of freedom and equality was held in 2008, on the occasion of his 90th birthday.

As a leader, South African President Nelson Mandela demonstrated remarkable leadership qualities, including advocacy for peace, powerful presence that disarmed enemies with his smile, high level of forgiveness, positive thinking, ability to see the big picture, focus on goals and missions beyond himself.
