Section 1 discusses the State Department, foreign policy definition, and military departments. Section 2 covers agencies like the CIA, NASA, and INS. Section 3 provides an overview of American foreign policy from isolationism to collective security and deterrence during the Cold War.

Ike Day 2
The "New Look" foreign policy of the Eisenhower administration focused on brinkmanship and massive retaliation using nuclear weapons as a deterrent against communist expansion. It advocated threatening nuclear attacks to push communist countries back behind their pre-1945 borders and interfering in communist governments through covert CIA operations. The policy was based on the domino theory that if one country fell to communism it could trigger surrounding countries to also fall like a line of falling dominoes.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The document summarizes key events during Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency. It describes how he used his formal presidential powers to appoint Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1953 and sign a mutual defense agreement with Japan in 1954. It also discusses how Eisenhower expressed his informal power by announcing plans for the first artificial satellites in 1955 and later recommending the formation of NASA in 1958.
Vietnam war new version
The document summarizes how the Vietnamese defeated the French and Americans in the Vietnam War. It describes key battles like Dien Bien Phu where the Viet Minh defeated the French, forcing their withdrawal. It then outlines the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army's effective guerrilla tactics against the US, like ambushes, booby traps, and an extensive tunnel network. Chemical weapons like Agent Orange were used by the US but took a heavy toll. Major offensives like the Tet Offensive showed the war was not going well for the US, and American public support waned, leading to their ultimate withdrawal and the North Vietnamese victory in 1975.
Isolationims and Neutrality
This document discusses isolationism and neutrality in foreign policy. Isolationism refers to abstaining from political or economic relations with other countries, while neutrality means refraining from participation in wars between other states. The document explores reasons why countries may adopt isolationist or neutral stances, such as protecting their nation or avoiding international entanglements. However, it also argues that complete isolationism and neutrality are difficult or impossible to achieve in the modern world. The document then examines Ireland's policy of neutrality during World War II as a case study, discussing both advantages and limitations of this approach.
Unit 6 section 2 lesson 5 nixon and the cold war
President Nixon pursued a foreign policy of realpolitik, pursuing national interests over ideology. He improved relations with both China and the Soviet Union, recognizing that neither country was fully united with the other against the US. Nixon and his adviser Kissinger arranged secret talks with China, culminating in Nixon's 1972 visit where he met with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai, hoping to gain economic opportunities. This move also weakened China-Soviet ties. Nixon then visited Moscow in 1972 and signed the SALT treaty, reducing nuclear arms and tensions between the US and Soviet Union. Nixon's policy of detente replaced old suspicions with eased tensions, moving the world closer to the end of the Cold War.

Roosevelt led the US through World War II and worked closely with Allied leaders until his death in 1945, leaving Harry Truman to see the country to victory.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
