...During December, 1941, U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt devised the name "United Nations " for the Allies. He referred to The Big Three and China as a "trusteeship of the powerful", and then later "the Four Policemen". The Declaration by United Nations, on 1 January 1942, was the basis of the modern UN. Douglas Brinkley, FDR & the Making of the U.N. At the Potsdam Conference of July-August 1945, Roosevelt's successor, Harry S. Truman, proposed that the foreign ministers of China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States "should draft the peace treaties and boundary settlements of Europe", which led to the creation of the Council of Foreign Ministers.

Why was America reluctant to The approach of another world
war caught the U.S. largely
unprepared. Having just
emerged from the Great
Depression, there was little
time to recruit and train a
military, which the nation
preferred to avoid. However,
the threats from fascism and
communism made modern military
and technology necessary. The
adjustments made during World
War II left the U.S. as a
superpower afterwards, both
economically and militarily.

Didn't want to be directly involved with the war. We wanted to be neutral or isolate ourselves from what was considered to be a European problem. All that changed when pearl harbor got bombed. |

Why did Russia leave the Right before the Berlin Wall
was built, Russia left the
Allies. I need to know why, as
I had it on one of my note
cards but I have so many note
cards that I've lost that one
in particular.
I feel like an idiot now. I
just remembered right after I
posted this question about the
communist belief of the
Russians and the Allies
democratic beliefs.

Russia ( Joe Stalin) figured to spread it's sphere of influence over countries it had occupied beating the Germans back to Berlin. The only communist country at the time was the Russians so they would spread communism by not leaving the countries they occupied. When the intent was understood the world was not ready to go to war again to beat an enemy that had just helped them beat Hitler. Gen. Patton was relieved of his army command for just stating plainly that he should use his army against the Russians. Having read the others here they are obviously too young to know what really happened. the history of communism started with the U.S.S.R. unfortunately it didn't end there. |

It had a pretty big impact, actually. We knew the Soviets were going to attack on the 8th, and as relations between the US and Soviets deteriorated in Europe, the US clearly wanted to end the war before the Soviets declared war, or failing that, to bring about Japan's surrender before the Red Army had occupied much territory. If attempting to limit Soviet territorial gains wasn't a factor, why did we drop our entire available supply of bombs so quickly? The Trinity test was on July 16, and the planned invasion of Japan wasn't set to begin until November. Yet Hiroshima and Nagasaki had both been bombed less than a month after the successful test explosion. The only plausable explanation for the timing is that we didn't want to see Japan divided the way Germany was, and this was not an unreasonable concern on our part. The Soviets were planning an invasion of Hokkaido for the first week of September, so had Japan not surrendered when they did, there would have been a Soviet Occupation zone in Japan as well as in Germany. Given this possibility, why wouldn't Truman have done everything in his power to prevent it? |
