America as a policeman of the world Introduction The power of the United States of America as far as world politics goes remains unquestioned especially after the triumph over the cold war that marked the better part of the 20th century. Contrary to most colonized countries, the USA had a great rising declaring independence with 13 united federations with a high constitution to guide the new nation. The strength and coherence of their laws alongside the vast amount of resources they had as well as the diversity the country boast of are some of the features that influence its superiority over other nations of the world regarding economic and military power. As much as the position of USA on the global field is done and dusted, the question that lingers is the motivation behind its stance as the world’s ‘policeman.’ While many think of its interventionist nature as annoying, think of it as a way of globalizing the values of democracy, integrity, and justice that it embodies while a considerable portion views it as a means to protect her interest…

The study cites a variety of possible gaps, which seem to be…

Define the problems faced by Radical Reconstruction governments. List the major accomplishments of these governments. After the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865, Andrew Johnson who was the vice president took over his position. He rejected the radical program of reconstruction and appointed his governors with the aim of finishing the reconstruction immediately. This idea was fiercely rejected by the Northern voters in the congressional elections. The Republicans in the Congress took a firm decision to hold for reconstruction in the south. The reconstruction acts of 1867 were put in place that guaranteed equal treatment of citizens irrespective of race. This caused a great division in the south into five military districts.
