1148 wordsRead More - dbqanalytical essayAfter the expense of WWI and a retreat from the policy of isolationism that had led America into it, American people were ready to focus on themselves. They wanted to build up the American economy and stay uninvolved in foreign affairs, following similar ideals as the Monroe Doctrine. The toll of WWI led to the U.S. isolationist policy, but as the years went on and war drew closer, this policy became near impossible. Isolationism for many years allowed the U.S. to focus on its own financial problems and with the great depression, this was pivotal. Another reason for isolationism was that both the Democratic and Republican parties promoted it. In theory this isolationist policy made sense with the current state of affairs in the U.S., but the the U.S. had become too much of a world power to withdraw completely. During the Period from 1920-1941 the foreign policy of the U.S. can be divided into three sections: the early twenties and a relatively strict isolationism, the late twenties and thirties and more and more involvement, and then finally WWII and the declaration of war by America on Japan and eventually on Germany and Italy.

4087 wordsRead More - DBQanalytical essayIn the colonization period, the urge to conquer foreign territories was strong, and many lands in the Western Hemisphere were conquered. With the colonization of these areas, a mercantilist relationship was formed between the conquered civilization and the maternal country. A major part of this was the restriction of exportation of native resources only to the mother country as well as the banning of trading with colonies of other countries. In turn, there was an increasing in the number of smuggling activities during the time. According to a British sailor named William Taggart in 1760, the illegal smuggling of goods into these areas had a positive impact because it brought prosperity to the people in Monte Christi, as there were only one hundred poor families. Likewise, Dominica governor John Orde praised the trading because it created prices much lower than with its maternal country. However, British admiral David Tyrell, Roger Elletson, Dominica governor John Orde, and a 1790 Bahaman newspaper report all had similar views on the harmful effects and corruptness present in smuggling. Despite this, physician George Lipscomb and British Lieutenant Governor Thomas Bruce had neutral opinions on the matter, and only stated what they witnessed in the process.
