History From 1865 To Present Based Off Kinzer Book
A healthy nation strikes against a weaker one since it seeks to impose its ideology, gain control of the fragile nation’s resources, or boost its power. However, the United States stirred itself to the past world and more through the combination of the three factors. Overthrown by Stephen Kinzer (U.S, 1865), is a book that explores the most direct American intervention form, the overthrow of foreign nations’ governments. Even if the book does not top up the knowledge in the history of individual cases, it is the first to offer comparison over time. Therefore, the book is the most interesting than any other case study, but still the most depressing.
Through the book’s treatment, there are no bright spots. By one example to the other, arrogant Americans get identified incorporating our authentic government and fitting brutes who are corrupt. They cause problems to the policies of the foreign than the ousted governors. In my opinion, the book was of significant impact on the other incoming uprisings.
For example, the 2003 invasion of Iraq was not an isolated happening. But it was the culmination of a 110-year time through which Americans overthrew fourteen governments through displeasing them for their economic, political, and social status reasons. Therefore, like any of the operations, the change in the Iraq regime was for a time, a short time, to work. Thus, it was clear that the undertaking contained other unplanned consequences like any other invasions, revolutions, and coups which the U.S has held to bring down the governments that they failed to trust or even feared.
Generally, I think Stephen Kinzer comes from a story of America’s role world through a different perspective from how others write about it. He learned about American foreign policy through the nations victimized by it. He was a New York Times correspondent for twenty-three years, in which he became a slave to events and everything that happened he had to write about it. Through the events written in the Overthrown book (U.S, 1865), the United States was dangerously intervening in different places in the world, in which it had intentions of doing good. Still, it ended up harming the target nation and deterring America’s security as a nation.
I think the movement to a more inclusive society has been much a result of the ordinary people. For example, advocates and titans of industries in Hawaii went to a step of not influencing the policymakers as they tried to bring their sugar to the markets without paying duties for the imports. They were influenced by John Foster Dulles, who had spent a lot of time working for powerful corporations; he ordered the coup in Iran 1953, which had intentions of making the Middle East safe for American oil organizations. Later after a year, he ordered another coup in Guatemala. I think history does not repeat itself, but it changes symmetries and patterns. If the regime change stories are brought together, they show how America overthrows other governments and the consequences it yields. Therefore, they teach lessons for the future.
