It also mentions the Socialist Party and laws passed in the 1920s. For the second book, it defines "Vietnamization", the US invasion of Afghanistan, and the "Wolfowitz Doctrine", and their significance to 20th century US history.

As immigrants entered through ports like Ellis Island, they faced challenges living and working in crowded urban areas with poor housing and sanitation. Cities worked to solve these problems through building codes, parks, street lights, police, and health departments. A growing middle class enjoyed new mass culture and entertainments in the cities, such as department stores, movies, sports, and public education.

It then took its first steps by annexing Hawaii to expand its naval presence in the Pacific. Through the Spanish-American War and building of the Panama Canal, the U.S. increased its influence over countries in Latin America and connected its Atlantic and Pacific fleets. By this time, under presidents like Theodore Roosevelt, the U.S. had emerged as a growing imperial power seeking to expand its commercial and military interests overseas.

Communism aims for complete public control and abolition of private property and business ownership. So in summary, socialism advocates a mixed economy with public and private sectors working together, while communism seeks a fully planned public economy with
