.... Coca-Cola," said Averell Harriman, who had been FDR's special envoy to London and Moscow during the second world war. But in Washington and New York, a small group of men feared the worst. Most of them were, like Harriman, Wall Street bankers and diplomats with close ties to Europe and a long view of America's role in the world. They suspected that in the Kremlin, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin was waiting like a vulture. Only the United States, they believed, could save Europe from chaos and communism. With sureness of purpose, some luck and a little convincing, these men persuaded Congress to help rescue Europe with $13.3 billion in economic assistance over three years. T ....

Culture, language values and society itself developed by free choices made by the Korean government. However, China was always ready to step in if Korea seemed to get to powerful or weak. Cummings makes this relationship sound as if everything was all right as long as Korea depended on the aid of China and respected China’s dominance of the region. Japan although at times respected China’s power believed that if Korea would consider themselves equal to China Japan could take the role of the regional superpower. ....

.... we seized from the Mexican War into free or slave territory. President Polk suggested stretching the Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific. While others stated that Popular Sovereignty should be placed in effect and that the people living in the territory should decide whether they live in a slave or free state. Still, others proclaimed that slavery should be banned completely in the land seized from Mexico. Calhoun said that the ban on slavery was unconstitutional. The constitution stated that slaveholders had the right to own property, which included slaves, since slaves weren’t human, according to the South. There were three candidates in the election of 1848: Lew ....

.... world so intriguing and appealing to photographers? First, it truly is another world - a world of motion and tranquillity. Like outer space, it offers photographers a sense of adventure, the thrill of discovery, and the promise of excitement. The underwater world also appeals to photographers because its natural state seems so foreign to ours. In part, this reflects tremendous differences between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Land environments are dominated by plant life, while the underwater environments are dominated by animal species. When we describe land environments, we refer to grasslands, redwood forests, and oak tree groves. When we describe und ....

.... Basra, a city in the south of Iraq. However, the Ottoman province collapsed after World War I and today's Iraqi borders were not created until then. There was also a further and more obvious blunder in a bid to justify this illegal invasion. Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, had namely recognized Kuwaiti independence in 1963.
