    International Involvement

    Before the Civil War, America developed a Manifest Destiny that, in part, meant the expansion of the original thirteen colonies into a great nation. This meant expanding from the original borders past the Mississippi River toward the Pacific Ocean. As that Manifest Destiny was being fulfilled after the Civil War ended, a new Manifest Destiny had been conceived by the U.S. Congress. This new Manifest Destiny began a new period of expansion beyond the boundaries of the continental United States, which gave rise to the Imperialist ideals, having the United States in direct competition with England, France, Germany and Spain for the more underdeveloped countries globally. In this paper, I will summarize the United States’ involvement in international affairs during the late 19th century, explaining the extent to which American involvement in international affairs affected global politics.…

Canada had hoped that his would solve the problem of the Cold War. But the UN, with no military force of its own, could not enforce its rulings on the USSR and the problem worsened as the Soviets were given the power to veto important rulings against them. Therefore, in 1949, Canada joined NATO, an organization based on the principal of collective security and would grant them protection and support from other countries if they were ever invaded. Years after, with the threat of nuclear war still very real, a bilateral alliance was formed among the Canadians and Americans, NORAD.…
