	Foreign Affairs - The United States and the World Economy - Leonard Silk
		After World War I, and the inflations released by it, the major countries adopted highly restrictive monetary policies, which by the end of the 1920s choked off economic growth.
		In the United States restrictive tariff legislation was passed, especially the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Act, which hurt other countries and forced them to engage in severe deflation to maintain the exchange rates of their currencies.
		After the long post-World War II boom that lasted until the early 1970s and was followed by oil shocks, inflation and stagnation, the world economy is again suffering from overcapacity and high unemployment.

		The Axis lost, at least partly because the Allies, after the USA's and the Soviet Union's entrance into the war, had greater productive resources, and were able to turn these resources into greater numbers of soldiers and weapons than the Axis.
		This was further compounded by the comparative lack of equipment standardization among the Axis forces and its failure to use its large territorial (and associated resources) gains in an economy on war footing.
		For instance Nazi Germany was the only war economy which largely didn't make use of the labour of women.

	The Cold War Decoded excerpted from the book Buried Alive Essays on Our Endangered Republic by Walter Karp
		They were determined at war's end to bestride the world like a colossus, to punish aggression, to root out "spheres of influence," to ensure the independence of all nations great and small-in a word, to "make the world over," in the exuberant phrase of the exuberant hour.
		As early as 1943, the State Department, grown giddy with newfound consequence, was already working up "a diplomacy which pretended that we were interested in every disputed region everywhere," as Walter Lippmann scornfully remarked at the time.
		The ambition of America's political leaders to subjugate the American republic once and for all had spawned and sustained the Cold War.

	Second World Summary
		The term "Second World" has largely fallen out of use because the circumstances to which it referred largely ended with the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, and also because the popularity of its sister phrase "Third World" has divided the world between rich and poor in many people's minds.
		After World War II, people began to speak of the NATO and Warsaw Pact countries as two major blocs, often using such terms as the "Western bloc" and the "Eastern bloc".
		Austria was within the United States' sphere of influence, but in 1955, when it became a fully independent republic, it did so under the condition that it remain neutral.

	Thucydides in the Modern World
		In fact, political scientists have treated the work of Thucydides as a coherent attempt to communicate silent universals that have served as the basis for American foreign policy and security doctrine in the post World War II era.
		Specifically, the foundations of American diplomacy during the Cold War with regard to the struggle between the two superpowers and the ethical consequences or problems posed for smaller states caught in the vortex of bipolar competition are derived from his work.
		The significance of such an examination is found in the parallels that have been made between the Peloponnesian War and the Cold War, and the practical consequences of such scholarship on American diplomacy in the Cold War era with regard to the relationship between the superpower balance and regional politics in regions of contested influence.

	[No title]
		After Roosevelt's death and the end of World War II, American liberalism became characterized by a defense of the mildly redistributive welfare state that emphasized equalizing, at least for whites, the possibilities of opportunity.
		A political community based on common origin, history and language is not liberal, but liberals never tried to form the voluntarist, contractual, non-historical state - which liberalism would logically imply.
		The nation state was simply taken for granted, as the political and economic arena for liberal process.

	Korean War
		The first military clash of the Cold War and the first United Nations-sanctioned conflict, the Korean War pitted the United States and its allies against the Soviet Union and its communist clients.

		The United Nations Security Council responded by adopting a U.S.-sponsored resolution calling the North Korean attack a breach of the peace and designating the president of the United States as its executive agent to prosecute the war.

		Long before the post-World War II division of Europe and long before "silent revolutions" in Eastern Europe ended that division, there was another time when Germans took to the streets to demand freedom and unity and for a few months seemed to achieve their goal.
		Though of varied political beliefs, all sought such basic rights as freedom of the press, trial by jury and constitutional systems of government in the states, as well as the unification of Germany into one nation-state.
		The political groupings and alliances that emerged during this time, however ineffective, may be seen as precursors to the political parties of modern Germany.

		For much of the world, it was mystifying to hear the most powerful country in the history of the world speak as though it were a besieged nation, boxed in on all sides.
		And while the United States can act largely by itself in certain special circumstances, such as Iraq, the fewer allies, bases and air rights it has, the higher the costs will be in American lives and treasure.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Spring 2000
		And since states are engaged in a constant struggle to advance their interests and to diminish those of other states, there is little here to be seen as truly morally grand.
		The officer is obliged to serve the state with integrity and to conduct military operations in a professional manner, disciplining subordinates and ensuring that they conduct themselves within the bounds of the laws and customs of war.
		The moral standing of any particular state depends upon the reality of the common life it protects and the extent to which the sacrifices required by that protection are willingly accepted and thought worthwhile.

	The Globalist \| Global Diplomacy -- Mr. Bush in Europe — Leadership Primacy No More
		But the true losers are the United States and Great Britain — in that their foreign and national security elites have to contend with the charge that, in picking Iraq, they ultimately chose conflagration over containment.
		The memory of the past, successful U.S.-UK leadership is further diminished by the refusal on the part of those elites to acknowledge that they went to war for the wrong reasons — as is evidenced by their ever-changing rationales for the war.
		For the United States and Great Britain, the Iraq excursion will — for the foreseeable future and especially with the current leadership — probably mean the loss of their traditional primacy in setting the global policy agenda.
