Dbq Treaty Of Versailles

This event was a test to show if the new country could take the violence current countries had to take. Shays Rebellion showed the American government was weak and needed a change soon. This event was so tragic that this led to the destruction of The Articles of Confederation. In current day America we are now governed by a stronger government under The Constitution that is why the event is so important in American history and that is why I chose this event.

I find Charles Lewis to have a valid point by saying that this country is in fact very militant. The reason why I think he says we don 't want to associate ourselves with wanting to be militant is because of all of the horrible things that can happen during war. When watching why do we fight every president has always gone into another country and tried to do it so that it was as if they did something to up hold America 's freedom. America likes to police the world and most Americans agree with it, this makes them feel safe. I think the real truth though in this statement is that fighting as a nation is in our best interest and we all should support anything our country

The Declaration of Independence was written for the American people. King George III had imposed a number of unwise regulations and the miserable acts so the American people did not want to follow under the rules. This document was to persuade the people to finally leave King George’s power so they could be under their own government with their own laws. Now saying that, a lot of people were not completely on board with this proclamation. During this time going against the King and his acts would make you guilty of treason.

The reason I request for its repel is because it was a violation of the first amendment, turned political parties against each other, and because the only reason the Sedition Act was made was because of the president’s wife. First of all the sedition act was a direct violation of the first amendment. Many newspapers wrote about what they thought and would get arrested for that. In the Sedition Act it states, “false, scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States, or either house of the congress of the United States, or President of the United States,” (Adams 1798) this isn’t fair. The first amendment was made to protect you right of the

Furthermore, war also played a considerable amount in United States history. George S. Patton once said, “the object of war is not to die for your country but, to make the other bastard die for his.” This shows the idea that human nature is devious and destructive. The United States is the world’s superpower. We are seen as the big brother and other countries depend on us as we depend on other countries. However, everything can not be solved with a peace treaty.

In reality the Republican party believed that Great Britain had not respect for Americans. The United States was a strong force against Great Britain throughout the war. During the War the British would capture American men thinking they were British Troops who traded sides. The war had a huge impact on the Americas was in 1814 when Great Britain captured Washington D.C. eventually burning the White House. During this time America stood strong and did not let this attack stop them from pushing forward.

Relations between the British and colonial Americans during the French and Indian War were hostile to say the least, and in this essay I will be arguing how economic, ideological, and political struggles defined the hostility between the two nations. It’s widely known that the Intolerable Acts, and a number of other factors led to hostile relations between the British and Americans, however there were definitely other factors including discrimination, taxation, and of course, wars. In this case, the French and Indian war will be solely discussed. In a 1763 British Council Order, an economic trial was discussed. In the document, it is cited that the regulation of American trade with the British was “of immediate necessity”.

On November 22, 1787 James Madison forged the Federalist 10, to instill upon Americans why factions are and would be the ultimate demise of the American government. Although Madison had stated that factions, also known as political parties, were a terrible thing, we have them today, and it is evident that they are a very big dilemma. According to Federalist 10, Madison argued that factions would harm the country, a democracy would encourage factions, and only a republic would alleviate the issue. One of the first ideas that Madison had instilled upon the American people was the idea that factions are dangerous and could be catastrophic to the country. “Inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other than to co-operate for their common good.”(Federalist 10) Madison is trying to say that factions are more likely to anger and subdue each other, due to a mutual friction that they have between them.

The peace treaty of Versailles had created a lot of hatred between nations, especially Germany, which was left humiliated and isolated. When Germany gained power again and resisted the obligations of Versailles, other European powers became alert and saw the need for new alliances. They all feared another war. Nationalist fascist leaders gained power in Germany, Italy, and Spain. These nations were very militaristic and probed for a new war, especially Germany.

They hated each other. So with the assassination of one of the Austrian royal member, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, This caused A-H to have a proper excuse to start a war. They actual had to start a conflict because if they ignore this assassination it would greatly injure their status and prestige as a great power. Prestige and status was important at the time, countries would want to compete each other, to be the most powerful nation in the European power. Because of its importance at the time, countries are forced to do action that was unnecessary and that would start conflict.

Respectively, insofar as the act posed threat to the editors in overall, a Republican editor would have totally been against the act. As for John Adams, his position in respect to this article was a bit ambivalent. While at that period, “criticism of his foreign policy reached an all-time high”, this act was useful for the President since it allowed to avoid disapproval of his policies (Roark 282). However, from the other point of view, the act extended the power of the central government to a large extent. Nevertheless, he considered such measures necessary in the conditions of war preparation since the act provided more rights not only to the federal government but also to President himself.

One of the major effects that over extended the powers of American foreign policy is that it gave the US a reason to interfere with any war they wanted as long as it involved communism. Therefore, this policy can be easily abused as it can serve for a way to allow the US obtain its national interest, rather than just fighting for democracy. This was a major factor in the Korean War since the South Korean government that stated they were democratic, were actually controlled by a dictator. American policy became highly criticized because it implied that the US only used the policy of containment to satisfy its own
