Roosevelt: historical cotext, his achievements, and a conclusion, with a reflection of a very popular phrase he said when he was elected as a president.
The Marshall Plan provided extensive economic aid to Western Europe after World War II. Secretary of State George Marshall argued that the U.S. needed to offer aid to help stabilize countries left in ruins by the war. In 1947, Marshall proposed a plan to provide $13 billion in aid to 16 Western European countries. While Eastern European countries like the Soviet Union were invited, only Yugoslavia accepted the aid. The Marshall Plan succeeded in boosting industrial production in Western Europe by 41% within four years and stabilized economies. The U.S. benefited economically by selling more goods to recovering European nations.
Harry S. Truman was the 33rd president of the United States. He took office in 1945 after Franklin Roosevelt died. As president, Truman faced major decisions including dropping the atomic bombs on Japan to end WWII, starting NATO and the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, and fighting communism through policies like the Truman Doctrine. He won an unlikely reelection victory in 1948. During his second term, Truman sent troops to Korea and fired General MacArthur, faced accusations of communism from Senator McCarthy, and oversaw the rebuilding of the White House. After leaving office in 1953, Truman worked to establish his presidential library and later died in 1972.

The document discusses the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan, two key US policies following WWII. The Truman Doctrine aimed to contain the spread of communism globally by providing economic and military aid to countries resisting Soviet influence. Many US citizens opposed interfering abroad. The Marshall Plan was a $12.5 billion program to rebuild Western Europe devastated by war through food, machinery and jobs aid. It aimed to address the poverty and instability fueling communism's spread. Countries received aid if not communist and rebuilt cities, economies and stability in Western Europe.
- The United States initially sent military advisors to South Vietnam in 1961 to support the South Vietnamese government against communist North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. Over time, U.S. involvement escalated with the arrival of more troops and bombing campaigns against North Vietnam.
- By 1965, there were over 185,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam and the air campaign called "Rolling Thunder" dropped more bombs on North Vietnam than the entire Second World War.
- In 1968, the Tet Offensive involving 70,000 North Vietnamese soldiers launched a massive surprise attack and marked a turning point where U.S. public support for the war began declining.
The Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan were American policies to prevent the spread of communism in Europe after World War 2. The Truman Doctrine provided military and economic aid to Greece and Turkey, establishing the policy of containment of communism. The Marshall Plan allocated billions in aid to rebuild European economies and prevent further communist expansion. These policies divided Europe along political and economic lines between Western allies of the US and Eastern bloc countries under Soviet control.

The document discusses the increasing tensions between the US and USSR during the Cold War. It outlines several key events and policies that contributed to the escalation of conflict between the two superpowers, including the Truman Doctrine that aimed to contain Soviet influence through economic and military aid to Greece and Turkey, the Marshall Plan that similarly provided aid to rebuild Western Europe, and the Berlin Airlift that responded to the Soviet blockade of West Berlin. The USSR in turn established opposing policies and alliances to counter US involvement and bolster its own sphere of influence.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd president of the United States, serving an unprecedented four terms from 1933 to 1945. His presidency was dominated by the Great Depression and World War II. Roosevelt implemented extensive New Deal programs to provide relief, reform, and economic recovery. He led the country through World War II after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, forging an alliance with Churchill and Stalin. Roosevelt appointed many Supreme Court justices and helped establish America's role as a global leader. Harry S. Truman succeeded Roosevelt in 1945 after his death and also faced the end of World War II and beginning of the Cold War.

The document discusses the US government's response to the Great Depression in the 1930s under President Hoover and then President Roosevelt. [1] Hoover initially believed the government should not intervene in the economy but later took some actions like creating new agencies, though it was too late to turn the economy around. [2] Roosevelt was elected in 1932 promising a "New Deal" and enacted major programs and agencies to provide relief, create jobs, and reform agriculture and industry. The New Deal programs are credited with helping lift the US out of the Depression.
This document provides an overview of World War 2 including its powers, causes, casualties, effects, and some benefits. It discusses the major Allied powers including the US, UK, Soviet Union, and China as well as the major Axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The major causes of WW2 highlighted include the rise of Hitler, militarism, Japanese expansionism, the Treaty of Versailles, and appeasement. Over 60 million people were killed making it the deadliest military conflict in history. The war had widespread effects and some unexpected benefits for economic growth and international power.
The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic downturn that began in 1929 and lasted until about 1939. It originated in the United States when the stock market crashed in October 1929, wiping out millions of investors. As the Depression deepened throughout the early 1930s, unemployment in the US rose to about 25% and many Americans lost their homes and lived in shanty towns. President Herbert Hoover did little to help the economy in the early years of the Depression. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected in 1932 on a platform of the New Deal, which involved major government intervention in the economy through relief programs, recovery efforts, and reforms. The Dust Bowl drought exacerbated issues in the Great Plains region during this time. The Depression finally ended as
The US involvement in the Vietnam War can be divided into 3 stages:
1. 1945-1964: Initial assistance to France and South Vietnam against communist forces.
2. 1964-1968: Escalation under President Johnson, with troop levels rising from 15,000 to 500,000. Intensified bombing and fighting failed to defeat North Vietnam.
3. 1969-1973: Nixon's Vietnamization policy attempted to transition fighting to South Vietnamese forces and reduce US troops, culminating in the 1973 Paris Peace Accords. However, South Vietnam ultimately fell to communist forces in 1975.
1. After WWII, the United States helped rebuild Europe and Japan by providing massive financial aid through programs like the Marshall Plan to help their economies recover from the devastation of the war and prevent the spread of communism.
2. Germany was divided into East and West Germany, with West Germany receiving aid from the United States and becoming democratic while East Germany was controlled by the Soviet Union.
3. The United Nations was formed near the end of WWII to replace the League of Nations and prevent future global wars, with the United States taking a leading role.
The document summarizes the history of Vietnam from the 1800s to 1975, including its transition from French colony to independent North and South Vietnam after the Geneva Accords. It discusses key events like the rise of the Viet Cong resistance group in the South and Ngo Dinh Diem's authoritarian rule as president of South Vietnam. It also covers growing US involvement through military advisers during this period and the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution that expanded President Johnson's war powers.
Harry Truman served as President from 1945 to 1953. He took office after FDR's death and faced many challenges both domestic and foreign. Domestically, he worked to transition the economy from wartime to peacetime and passed policies like the GI Bill and civil rights initiatives. Internationally, his administration dropped atomic bombs on Japan, established the UN and NATO, pursued containment of communism through the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan, and engaged in the Korean War.
The document discusses the expansion of Soviet control in Eastern Europe following World War 2 and the policies put in place by the United States to contain the spread of Soviet influence. It describes how Stalin broke agreements on allowing free elections in conquered countries and instead installed communist governments.

This document provides an overview of the origins of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union following World War II. It discusses the wartime alliance between the US, Britain, and Soviet Union which was pragmatic but lacked trust. At conferences like Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam, the Allied leaders were unable to resolve disagreements over the post-war structure of Europe. As the Soviets exerted control over Eastern Europe, tensions rose further and the Cold War began, marked by the Iron Curtain speech in 1946 and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO.
The document summarizes key details about the roads to the presidency and presidencies of several important US presidents, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and George W. Bush.

The document discusses Truman's Marshall Plan and the Truman Doctrine, which provided economic and military aid to countries in Europe recovering from World War 2. It explores the differing perspectives on whether this aid was a generous gesture to help allies recover, or an underhanded attempt to undermine the Soviet Union and prevent the spread of communism for strategic political reasons. The document contains speeches, propaganda, and viewpoints from both American and Soviet/communist perspectives on the intentions and impact of the Marshall Plan.
1. After WWII, the US and USSR emerged as rival superpowers competing for global influence, leading to tensions in Europe and the establishment of communist governments in Eastern Europe under Stalin.
2. In response, the US formulated the policy of containment to prevent the spread of communism and provided aid to Greece and Turkey through the Truman Doctrine, marking the beginning of the Cold War.
3. The Cold War escalated with the development of nuclear weapons by both sides and establishment of opposing military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact.

Here is a possible 338-word journal entry from the perspective of someone living in Greece or Turkey during the Cold War:
May 12, 1947
It has been an incredibly difficult few years for our country since the end of World War II. The civil war has torn Greece apart and brought immense suffering to many. Just when it seemed things could not get any worse, the communists were gaining more and more power and control. It seemed almost certain that they would take over the entire government.
But in his speech to Congress yesterday, American President Harry Truman announced a new policy that has given us hope - the Truman Doctrine. He pledged American economic and military aid to help Greece and Turkey resist communist pressures and domination. This aid
The Tet Offensive of 1968 saw surprise attacks by Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces across South Vietnam on the Tet holiday, as they attacked 68 cities and 50 towns. Though the offensive was eventually defeated, it lasted for up to two weeks and was bloody, with high casualties on both sides. The capture and mass burial of 1,000 civilians in Hue demonstrated the ferocity of the fighting. While a military defeat for the Viet Cong and North Vietnam, Tet had a powerful psychological impact on Americans, undermining confidence in the war and leading many to question how to exit Vietnam, with President Johnson replaced by Nixon two months later.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States. He led the country through two terms from 1933 to 1937 and two additional terms from 1941 until his death in 1945. Roosevelt implemented his New Deal program to provide relief, recovery, and reform during the Great Depression. He also led the United States through World War II, working with allies Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. Roosevelt died in April 1945 at his home in Warm Springs, Georgia at the age of 63 from a cerebral hemorrhage.
World War II began in September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. Several factors led to the war, including the global economy after WWI, the rise of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia, and American isolationism. When the US entered the war in 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor, American citizens rallied together through rationing, war bond drives, and increasing industrial production. US forces fought major battles in North Africa, Europe on D-Day, and island hopping in the Pacific, helping to defeat the Axis powers.
George W. Bush was the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009. Before that, he was the 46th Governor of Texas, having served from 1995 to 2000. As president, he took action against those that attacked the U.S. on 9/11, invaded Iraq on the basis they had WMDs, and cut taxes across the board while raising education standards.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd president of the United States, serving from 1933 to 1945. He led the country out of the Great Depression through his New Deal programs, which gave jobs to the unemployed, ensured cash flow for people, and sought to revive the American economy. The New Deal established programs like the CCC and TVA. Within his first 100 days in office, Roosevelt worked with Congress to pass 15 bills as part of the New Deal to improve the country's economic situation. By the time of his death in 1945, Roosevelt had successfully guided the U.S. economy out of the Depression and brought relief to Americans during a difficult period in the nation's history.

This document provides summaries of several US presidents:
- Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president and played a key role in reforms during the 1840s.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd president during the Great Depression and World War 2.
- George Washington was the first US president and a founding father who commanded the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president in 1932 during the Great Depression. He implemented New Deal programs to provide relief, reform the financial system, and stimulate the economy. This included the AAA to subsidize farmers, the CCC to provide jobs, and the SEC to regulate Wall Street. Roosevelt faced the immense challenges of the Depression and later World War II. He led the country through these difficult times with confidence and determination.
FDR's New Deal accomplished three main things:
1. It restored confidence to the American public through programs like the FDIC, Social Security, and the AAA which protected bank deposits, provided retirement benefits, and helped farmers.
2. It provided emergency relief programs to help the unemployed through agencies like the FERA, WPA, and CCC which gave money directly to states, and jobs to millions of workers in public works projects and the conservation of natural resources.
3. It aimed to reform the financial system and regulate Wall Street through new agencies like the SEC to oversee the stock market and prevent another crash.
AHSGE (History) Ch.9 The Great Depression and World War 2Terron Brooks
1) The document discusses key events from World War II including the Dust Bowl, FDR's New Deal programs, leaders of fascist governments like Mussolini and Hitler, Japan's invasion of Manchuria, Germany invading Poland which started WWII, and the bombing of Pearl Harbor which brought the US into the war.
2) It also covers domestic policies during WWII like rationing and women entering the workforce as well as the internment of Japanese Americans.
3) The document provides information about political and military events during the Great Depression and WWII in 3-5 sentence summaries.
This document provides background information on the Great Depression and President Hoover's response. It discusses several key points:
1) President Hoover initially believed the government should not intervene in the economy but the severity of the Depression forced him to act, establishing organizations like the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
2) As unemployment rose to unprecedented levels, Hoover faced growing criticism and lost re-election to Franklin Roosevelt in 1932.
3) The period after the election saw the economy continue to deteriorate as the lame duck Hoover was unable to take significant action without Roosevelt's cooperation during the transition period.
The document discusses the rise of fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany. It describes the circumstances that allowed Mussolini and Hitler to rise to power, including economic destruction from World War 1, high inflation and unemployment. Both leaders capitalized on the peoples' frustrations by blaming minority groups and using aggressive paramilitary groups to intimidate opponents and seize control. Once in power, they established brutal dictatorships based on extreme nationalism, racism and militarism.
Franklin D. Roosevelt faced many challenges throughout his life and career but was able to overcome them to become president during the Great Depression and World War 2. As president, he implemented his New Deal programs to provide relief, recovery, and reform, helping lead the US economy out of the Depression. However, some of his actions like internment of Japanese Americans and attempts to pack the Supreme Court faced criticism and were deemed mistakes. Overall, FDR helped shape the country during very difficult times through both his successes in implementing programs and some controversial decisions.
The document discusses the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression, as well as the photographer Dorothea Lange. It explains that the Wall Street Crash marked the beginning of the decade-long Great Depression that affected Western countries.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky

If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement.

The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

charge until 1945, when he died.
When the nation was suffering from the Great Depression, Roosevelt set up the Temporary
Emergency Relief Administration (TERA), that consisted in finding jobs for the unemployed.
In march 1933 he signed the Emergency Banking Act, which helped to end the bank runs
caused by the Depression. Due to these regulations, people started to trust the banks again

exchange.
He set up very important institutions:
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC): Employed 3 million young men in manual labor
jobs.
The Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA): Increased the income from farms by
paying farmers subsidies.
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA): It provided power, controlled floods and modernized
agriculture in the Tennessee Valley, that was very affected by the depression.

discrimination in the national defense industry.

(principally to Jews, christians and Afro-Americans
communities)
6. Conclusion

MEMORABLE SPEECHES.
“The only thing we have to fear is fear
itself”
I find this phrase really motivating,
because he encourages people not to be
afraid. He says that although there was a
huge world crisis, they had to work hard
to get through it. Keep their heads up
and don’t give up.
