American Foreign Policy in Asia 1850-1950
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper tracing US involvement in Asia during this 100-year period. By 1950, the US was wary of the new communist government on mainland China, but it maintained the position as a benevolent protector of Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines, which promised strategic positioning. The US represented a largely silent threat to dictatorial forces in Asia, a force that promised to lie dormant unless there was need for it to arise. With the memory of World War II so very fresh, none of the more oppressive forces in Asia doubted that the US would act if it believed action to be necessary. Bibliography lists 1 source.

American History Defines Progress - 1867 -1909
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) In the last portion of the nineteenth century Americans progressed at an uneven gait. In the West, men took giant steps across the country as they explored and claimed land; often walking over others such as the Native Peoples in the process. These same men "brought their" women with them through incredible difficulties, but then saw no reason to give them any political allowances. Children were "owned" as much as women were. Racial differences, although somewhat equal on paper made little progress. In the East labor and management systems, political patronage, and social reform began to demand attention, and progressive attention.
