Apush Chapter 13 Outline

First, Wilson enacted the Underwood-Simmons bill in 1913. This Act lowered the trade tariffs for the first time since before the Civil War, and initiated the first

It was with these words that Woodrow Wilson called for the formation of the League of Nations. By 1919, after extensive discourse between the Big Three, the league was born and its ideals and structure concocted. The League’s chief goals compromised of preventing war through collective security, disarmament and using negations to solve disputes between nations. After the end of World War I, such an organisation was essential to solve border disputes and prevent another war. After numerous noteworthy successes and a few initial failures in the 1920s, the League of Nations finally proved inept of preventing hostility from the Axis in the 1930s. And, as stated by Dr. Afroz Alam, “the onset of the Second World War suggested that the League had failed in

He had fulfilled his promises to lower the tariff, create a national banking system, and strengthen the anti-trust laws. The New Freedom was complete, he wrote.” 1

In Woodrow Wilson's the New Freedom he refers many times to Theodore Roosevelt's platform about the good and bad trusts. Roosevelt suggested that all the trusts should be made good by discipline, directly applied by a commission of executive appointment. Wilson did not distinguish between "good" trusts and "bad" trusts any trust by virtue of its large size was bad in Wilson's eyes. New Freedom had three goals Lowering the protective tariff, creating a better banking system, and strengthening antitrust laws. If these goals were met he thought control by monopolies would end and freedom would be restored.

something. per Franklin D. Roosevelt (2009, para. 1), the New Deal decided to 3 steps Relief,

Roosevelt felt that reform needed to happen in order for America to get back on their feet again. He “Alphabet Agencies” helped serve the purpose of providing immediate relief to over nine million Americans. Starting by creating the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), which provided employment in government camps for three million men. This led to his Works Progress Administration (WPA) that put $11 million dollars into public building, bridges, and hard-surfaced roads, which created millions of new jobs. To people who were used to contacting the government for jobs, this was a huge breakthrough for Roosevelt.¬¬¬ These reforms also led to helping farmers in need (AAA), or homeowners struggling with mortgages (HOLC), or families starving during the winter (CWA). None of these ideas had ever been brought up before, which

Purpose of the terms of the treaty? The purpose of the treaty was to ensure that a war like the Great War, would never occur again. Revenge was also wanted by France and Britain, and these countries felt as

The paper reveals that the league had a very limited scope and excluded many countries that would significantly benefit the league and its efforts of ensuring world peace, which made it appear like a boutique body with no true spirit of uniting all nations. While it was supposed to involve as many nations as possible, only a few were invited. America, a major nation in the agreement, also did not become a member since the Senate failed to ratify the decision to join the League (Fredrick 91). Countries such as Soviet Russia were not allowed to join and by 1930, countries such as Japan and Italy had left. This scanty and unequal representation

Franklin Delano Roosevelt put forward the New Deal in 1933 with aims to introduce relief, recovery and reform the American economy, in order to combat the Great Depression. The New Deal represent the culmination of a long range trend toward abandonment of the Republican policies of “laissez-faire” capitalism. The New Deal was truly astonishing due to the speed with which it accomplished what previously had taken generations which brought an air of confidence and optimism. FDR’s decision to take “direct action” to set up the Alphabet Agencies was welcomed by the many Americans, yet his policies still received strong criticism as many reforms were hastily drawn and weakly administration, including some contradicting others. The New Deal provided, however, a sense of long term security and economic stability to Americans, which had not ever existed before.

In the 19th century, Spain was known for its territories but in the 1890s the numbers seem to perish. One of these territories was Cuba. In the united states, there was a growing fear of being overpowered if the US did not expand itself. The US was highly interested in Cuba not only for economical purposes but for military purposes. The US wanted to expand its military and to have naval bases in the Caribbean and the pacific. Spain was using Cuba for resources and the US wanted an economic relationship with Cuba.

After the Treaty of Versailles was created, the League of nations was created as well. This was originally the plan of Woodrow Wilson, the U.S. President, but ironically enough the U.S. was not a part of the League. The Leagues main goals were to prevent any colfict between countries, stop wars, improve peoples living and working conditions, and enforce the Treaty of Versailles. While they had some success, the League as a whole had multiple faults. For example, the League was set up bu the Treaty of Versailles. While all countries who joined the League signed the

Woodrow Wilson, the president of the U.S. during this time period, was still convinced the citizens of his country to agree to let the U.S. join the League. Although, Henry Cabot Lodge and other Congress members couldn't decide whether or not to join before Wilson’s term of presidency ended. Moreover, another fact that contrasts is the way they went about solving international difficulties, one did so by using a group of civilians, the other a written document and a conference. Also, while the League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles, both affect today's world, they went in completely different directions. “However, the coming of World War II once again demonstrated the need for an effective international organization to mediate disputes, and the United States public and the Roosevelt administration supported and became founding members of the new United Nations,” (The League of Nations 1). The League became the United Nations, a respected organization the government uses  globally. Both of the movements wanted peace, but these privileged maestros behind the choreographed plans of action, while summing up all the world’s plans into one peace treaty that is presented in

World war was also known as “ The War to end all wars”, and to prevent another disastrous war the League of Nations was created. President Woodrow Wilson proposed an administration to keep peace to prevent another war like World War one to occur again. The League of Nations was an international organization created after the First World War to provide a convention for resolving international disputes. First proposed by President Woodrow Wilson as part of his Fourteen Points plan for peace in Europe, the United States never became a member. In 1919, the Senate denied President Wilson's plea for the United States to join the new League of Nations. After World War one America failed to be part of the League of Nations. The war had changed the

President Woodrow Wilson helped create the League of Nations, but due to insufficient votes, they stayed out of the organization. Even though the Senate voted twice, enough votes were never gathered. The League of Nations had their first meeting and the United States never joined the organization.

After the terrible and horrific scenes of World War 1, countries certainly did not want to get into that mess again. The war brought about too many damages in the world especially in countries that had the war going on in their home fronts. Huge amounts of lives were lost and countries had to suffer the pain of rebuilding themselves back from that devastation. There was no way they were going to allow another world war like that come again because it will literally cost them a fortune to rebuild their countries back again. This lead the countries, mainly the ones involved in the war, into creating a treaty to secure the peace that they were craving for and also to punish Germany for being a spark to World War 1. Woodrow Wilson, the president of United States, in the meeting to creating the treaty, listed his famous fourteen points and through that he revealed the League of Nations. An association that was seeking to unite countries in the world and fight for world peace. The League of Nations was a really good idea but was it going to be capable of holding these countries that were always craving for power and had this extreme nationalistic mindset. Many countries especially less powerful countries joined to secure safety from bigger and powerful nations. The league did seem to have a lot of work to do so they set up goals and measures to work towards. The League of Nations had set goals that were going to really help the world find the peace they’ve been looking for, but
