Amerika’s Koude Oorlog:
Voor de VS betekende de naoorlogse ontwikkeling dat het land niet meer terug kon naar een isolationistische stellingname. De ontwikkelingen in Europa dwongen president Truman en zijn adviseurs een wereldwijde strategie te omarmen die onvermijdelijk moest botsen met de belangen van de Sovjet-Unie. De clash tussen de supermachten vormt een complex en fascinerend verhaal. De visie op dit onderwerp heeft inmiddels verscheidene herzieningen ondergaan. In dit college worden behalve de feiten ook de interpretaties van die feiten in hun verband besproken.
Mr. Frans Verhagen studeerde rechten en sociologie in Groningen en internationale betrekkingen aan Columbia University in New York. Als journalist was hij correspondent in Washington en runde tien jaar het door hemzelf opgerichte kwartaalblad Amerika. Hij schreef talloze artikelen over de Verenigde Staten, hun samenleving en geschiedenis voor kranten en tijdschriften en publiceerde vele boeken, zoals zijn laatste Lincoln. Een geniaal politicus.

Karel Van Miert bracht regering-Tindemans in gevaarThierry Debels
Eind januari 1978 vertrekt een telex van de Amerikaanse ambassade over Karel Van Miert over HAWK .
Van Miert is kritisch.
In 1976 werd hij op vraag van Willy Claes adjunct-nationaal secretaris van de toenmalige unitaire Belgische Socialistische Partij. Twee jaar later, na de splitsing van deze partij werd hij voorzitter van de Vlaamse SP (huidige sp.a). Hij speelde een korte tijd een rol aan de top van deze partij.
De Amerikanen hadden eerder contact met het ministerie van Defensie. Alles was in kannen en kruiken.
“MOD WAS OBVIOUSLY AS TAKEN ABACK BY THE VAN MIERT STATEMENT AS WAS PRIME MINISTER. ISSUE WHICH HAD BEEN WELL ON TRACK IS NOW AGAIN IN DOUBT.”
Op dat ogenblik zitten de socialisten in de regering Tindemans II.
De regering-Tindemans II was de regering van België van 3 juni 1977 tot 20 oktober 1978. In de regering zaten de CVP/PSC, de BSP/PS, het FDF en de Volksunie.
Zowel Tindemans als Vanden Boeynants (VDB) waren ontzet.
Bij de socialisten wordt vervolgens een vergadering gehouden om de plooien glad te strijken. Maar niet iedereen is amused door de uitval van Van Miert.
Het zal geen toeval zijn dat Van Miert in 1979 al zal verhuizen naar het Europarlement.
Harry S. Truman was the 33rd President of the United States from 1945 to 1953. He took office upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt and led the country through the final stages of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. Truman held various local positions in Missouri before becoming a Senator and later Vice President. As President, his approval ratings fluctuated greatly from a high of 87% to a low of 22%.
President Harry S. Truman faced many challenges both domestically and abroad during his presidency from 1945-1953. Some of his key accomplishments included establishing the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan to provide aid to countries threatened by communism, orchestrating the Berlin Airlift when the Soviets blockaded Berlin, creating NATO as a military alliance against the Soviet Union, and ordering U.S. troops to intervene in the Korean War. At home, he advanced civil rights and enacted some aspects of his Fair Deal agenda, though faced opposition from Congress. Overall, Truman demonstrated strong leadership in navigating the difficult post-war period and complex challenges of the early Cold War.

Winston Churchill was a British politician and statesman born in 1874 at Blenheim Palace. He had a long career in politics, serving in both the Conservative and Liberal parties. Some of his notable roles included First Lord of the Admiralty, Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War, and Prime Minister during World War 2 from 1940-1945.

Roosevelt was elected governor of New York in 1928 and won the presidency in 1932, promising a New Deal to help the millions impacted by the Great Depression. He won an unprecedented four terms as president, leading the country through the Depression and World War II, before passing away in 1945 from a stroke.
Truman pursued an aggressive foreign policy in response to the rise of communism in the postwar world. Some key aspects included establishing the UN for international cooperation, occupying Japan to rebuild it as a democracy, and implementing the containment policy to rollback Soviet expansion in Europe and Asia through policies like the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan. This involved providing economic and military aid to countries threatened by communism like Greece, Turkey, and West Berlin during the Berlin Airlift crisis. However, communism still spread to China which became a loss for Truman's containment efforts.

However, communism still spread to China which became a loss for Truman's containment efforts.
After WWII, Truman faced many economic challenges including what to do with returning soldiers and cutting the military. His 21 Point Program focused on expanding social programs and civil rights protections. The GI Bill provided education and home loans for veterans. Executive Order 9981 desegregated the military. Strikes and full employment acts aimed to ease unemployment. Truman's 1948 election upset Dewey despite early polls. His Fair Deal continued New Deal policies but faced Republican opposition in Congress.
This document provides a summary of the life and presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It notes that he was elected to an unprecedented four terms as President of the United States from 1932 to 1945. During his terms, he responded to the Great Depression by implementing new reforms and passed the Lend-Lease Act to aid Allied powers in World War II without entering the war. Roosevelt ultimately died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1945 during his fourth term in office.
The document provides a leadership biography of Winston Churchill, who served as Prime Minister of the UK during World War II, noting his accomplishments including being a Nobel Prize winner and honorary US citizen as well as his roles as an army officer, painter, and historian. It also discusses Churchill's values of moral integrity and relentless work, his tight-knit network of supporters, and lessons on authenticity, building networks, and communicating one's vision.
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.
Joseph Stalin was a Russian dictator who led the Soviet Union from 1922 until his death in 1953. He transformed the Soviet Union into a major industrial and military power through policies like rapid industrialization and collectivization of agriculture, but these policies also led to millions of deaths from starvation and purges of perceived political opponents. Stalin's rule established the Soviet Union as a rival superpower to the United States after World War 2 and the start of the Cold War.
