During the war, once the Allied powers from the
west joined forces with Stalin's Red Army, trouble
was inevitable. Luckily for the world, America had
a great leader and foreign diplomat in Franklin D.
Roosevelt while England countered with Winston
Churchill. This duo created a steady working
relationship with Stalin, thus creating the Big

Many times the media often bring up the worst in a
public official or candidate as seen by that of

Threat To The United States Soviet Union
1,354 words
In 1938, the United States possessed the most
productive economy in the world with one of the
largest navies. However, to describe it as a fully
active world power as we have shown already would
be inaccurate. If it was America that sealed the
fate of Germany in the First World War, its
financial muscle during the twenties that brought
a degree of stability to Europe, then it was its
isolationist policy in the thirties compounded by
the Depression that upset the international
system. This encour...

Policy Of Containment Economic And Social
1,489 words
As promulgated in 1947 by one of its chief
architects, George Kennan, the policy of
containment fashioned a strategy to deal with the
implacable challenge posed by Soviet Communists
(Kennan, 582). Because of their ideology and
history, the Soviets were held to be dangerous and
thus their expansion must be countered by the
West. To deal with the Soviet threat, Kennan
called for a long-term and vigilant containment of
Russian expansive tendencies (Kennan, 575).
Although containment policy was wide...

Regularly Scheduled Elections Made Publicly Not Secretly

In any system which claims to be democratic, a
question of its legitimacy remains. A truly
democratic political system has certain
characteristics which prove its legitimacy with
their existence. One essential characteristic of a
legitimate democracy is that it allows people to
freely make choices without government
intervention. Another necessary characteristic
which legitimates government is that every vote
must count equally: one vote for every person. For
this equality to occur, all people m...
