President Herbert Hoover and President Franklin D. Roosevelt both played a significant role in promoting economic opportunities during the Great Depression based on their own political ideologies. For example, Herbert Hoover’s reacted based on his conservative viewpoint and President Franklin D. Roosevelt had a liberal viewpoint. Both presidents succeeded in promoting economic opportunities during the hard times, but I believe that President Roosevelt’s actions succeeded in advancing economic opportunities for all American than President Hoover. The actions from President Hoover to assist all American in advancing in economic opportunities was not as effective as President Roosevelt.…

At the start of the first world war, Germany and the Soviet Union signed a nonaggression pact. With Germany and the Soviet Union being allies, the rest of the world had their suspicions. In the U.S., Senator Truman expressed his dislike of both countries and his view of them as potential enemies(Doc A). Unfortunately for the Soviet Union, the pact between him and Hitler was soon broken by a German invasion. The invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 was a surprise to everyone, especially Stalin who was not prepared for it. According to Churchill, it was the turning point of the war. This turn on Stalin seemed like a great thing, if the Soviet Union hadn’t collapsed so quickly. With the fear of the Soviet Union’s surrender, Churchill and Roosevelt secretly met in the historic Atlantic Conference in August 1941. An outcome of the conference was the eight-point Atlantic Charter, where Churchill and Roosevelt agreed to defeat Germany before turning to Japan, and they planned for a new world organization, and affirmed their commitment to self-determination for all nations.…

At the point when Coolidge moved into the White House, he introduced a rocker on the entryway patio, in which he delighted in sitting in the early night and smoking his stogies. Alice Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's little girl, got a kick out of the chance to comment that Coolidge looked as though he had been "weaned on a pickle." When he grinned, somebody once said, it was "similar to ice separating in a New England waterway." But quite a bit of his notoriety for hush was intentionally developed; in discourse, as in such a variety of ranges, Coolidge regarded watchfulness the better a portion of valor as well as an instrument of sound…

Roosevelt, so much so that their administrations and thoughts on how to run the country existed on two completely different paradigms in relation to their views on the governments role in society.…
William Taft and Franklin D. Roosevelt were total opposites when it came to their personality and humanity. William Taft expanded the limits of his Precedential power to keep African Americans and immigrants in their place. During his inaugural address, Taft said that would not hire anymore African Americans to federal Jobs like a mailman or postmaster position. This would cause a problem for any African American that was already employed at a Federal Facility. Taft wanted to keep the African Americans in their place. Taft fails to follow the humanitarian mission historically associated with the Republican Party. This is what caused African Americans to move toward the Democratic Party.…
This was very crucial for the United States expansion to the west because of the threat of Russia. Russia also had a goal to expand throughout Asia, this created a race throughout Asia between the U.S. and Russia . President Teddy Roosevelt knew that the Russia was the only thing holding them back from obtaining China. Since China was beginning to slightly adapt to Russian, American, and Japanese heritages and cultures. While Russia was still regrouping from the war with Japan, America’s strategic focus was now to fully empose the Open Door Policy into Asia and create more economic markets and furthermore make the United States an even greater power. While the United States had finally reached their goal of establishing an open economic market in the western countries, Japan had begun to establish their imperialist government throughout Asia after the battle of Japan and China in World War 1. After the United States military and cultures begin to back out of Asia, China shadowed Japans heritages, cultures, and economy as China became a dictatorship under Chiang…

In addition to having less experience and still succeeding, Truman also had much more demanding problems.…
At the turn of the 19th century a new political party rose and that whole era was named the Progressive Era. This party based its decision on what is right for the people and not big businesses in the economic world. Two major leaders and Presidents of the United States, of this time were Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Though both men contributed so much while in office, which one had the greater impact? Even though their achievements are equal in most areas, Wilson took the cake with his actions to exempt unions from being prosecuted as trusts.…

Mao Tse-Tung’s 1953 proposal to the Soviet Union brought to life the very fear that the domino theory foreshadowed. The plan entitled, “Memorandum on a New Program for World Revolution”, was a detailed plan for world conquest, in which every country, except the United States, would be communist-controlled by 1973 (Rivera). The first phase was to be completed by 1960 and called for Korea and Indochina to be under Chinese control. The Korean War of the early nineteen-fifties can be viewed as proof that these were serious plans China intended to follow. The end of the war resulted in a divided Korea in which China, along with the USSR, aided in establishing North Korea as a communist state where American support influence democracy in the south.…
