The United States emerged from World War II as one of the foremost economic, political, and military powers in the world. Wartime production pulled the economy out of depression and propelled it to great profits. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Harry Truman had given the  famous “Iron Curtain” Speech at the time. The Soviets had resisted to show power and tried to dominate Europe the United States had show themselves to oppose the Soviet Union.  ]]> 2018-12-06 11:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/3368421/vxca7q446hjz/wish/311750786 3368421 https://padlet.com/3368421/vxca7q446hjz/wish/311752975 During the Second World War, the United States, Britain, Germany and the U.S.S.R. were all engaged in scientific research to develop the atomic bomb. By mid-1945, however, only the United States had succeeded, and it used two atomic weapons on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to bring a rapid and conclusive end to the war with Japan. U.S. officials did not debate at length whether to use the atomic bomb against Japan, but argued that it was a means to a faster end to the Pacific conflict that would ensure fewer conventional war casualties. While presiding over the U.S. development of nuclear weapons, President Franklin Roosevelt made the decision not to inform the Soviet Union of the technological developments. After Roosevelt’s death, President Harry Truman had to decide whether to continue this policy of guarding nuclear information. Ultimately, Truman mentioned the existence of a particularly destructive bomb to Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin at the Allied meeting at Potsdam, but he did not provide specifics about the weapon or its uses. ]]> 2018-12-06 11:47:05 UTC https://padlet.com/3368421/vxca7q446hjz/wish/311752975 3368421 https://padlet.com/3368421/vxca7q446hjz/wish/311758997 Following World War II, the victorious Allied governments established the first international criminal tribunals to prosecute high-level political officials and military authorities for war crimes and other wartime atrocities. The four major Allied powers—France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States—set up the International Military Tribunal (IMT) in Nuremberg, Germany, to prosecute and punish Eastern war criminals. Allied Occupation in Japan after WWII
The groundwork for the Allied occupation of a defeated Japan was laid during the war. In a series of wartime conferences, the leaders of the Allied powers of Great Britain, the Soviet Union, the Republic of China, and the United States discussed how to disarm Japan, deal with its colonies (especially Korea and Taiwan), stabilize the Japanese economy, and prevent the remilitarization of the state in the future. In the Potsdam Declaration, they called for Japan’s unconditional surrender; by August of 1945, that objective had been achieved.]]> 2018-12-06 12:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/3368421/vxca7q446hjz/wish/311758997 3368421 https://padlet.com/3368421/vxca7q446hjz/wish/311767836 With the Truman Doctrine, President Harry S. Truman established that the United States would provide political, military and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from external or internal authoritarian forces. The Truman Doctrine effectively reoriented U.S. foreign policy, away from its usual stance of withdrawal from regional conflicts not directly involving the United States, to one of possible intervention in far away conflicts.]]> 2018-12-06 12:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/3368421/vxca7q446hjz/wish/311767836 3368421 https://padlet.com/3368421/vxca7q446hjz/wish/311769110 The National Security Act of 1947 mandated a major reorganization of the foreign policy and military establishments of the U.S. Government. The act created many of the institutions that Presidents found useful when formulating and implementing foreign policy, including the National Security Council (NSC).]]> 2018-12-06 12:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/3368421/vxca7q446hjz/wish/311769110
