About second world war and Trauma
During the second world war, the united states and the soviet union were close friends, and they fought together, against the axis powers (Sakwa 2017). The two nations however besides fighting together, had a tense relationship. For a long time, the Americans were wary about the soviet communism. They were also concerned about joseph Stalin’s, the Russian leader. the soviets acted as a representation of the American’s refusal to treat the USSR as a real part of the international community. They also delayed their entry into the second world war, which to the deaths of many Russians.
After the end of the second world war, these circumstances led to overwhelming conditions of distrust and enmity. Before the war began, soviet expansions in the east of Europe made numerous Americans fear the Russian plan of controlling the world. In the meantime, the USSR regarded the American officials as arms buildup, bellicose rhetoric, and interventionist approach to international relations. With the creation of such a hostile atmosphere, no party would have blamed for the cold war.
Question two
Trauma was a senator and later became a president. He supported numerous government initiatives that helped in fighting the great depression (Baizacq et al..2019). He had a belief that it was the role of the government to ensure the well being of the citizens. Being a leader, his policies had such objectives of ensuring the well being.
In 1946, he signed the employment act. The act gave responsibility to the federal government to fight against unemployment. The council of economic advisors was created under this act. The role of this council was to provide the president with ideas for economic success. This is a policy that was truly intended to ensure the well being and prosperity of the citizens. He also developed the Fair Deal, that developed health facilities, education, public housing, and progressive taxation. The outcomes of his objectives differed from Traumas’ ideal in that they did not go the extent he required.
