The Role and Influence of U.S. Foreign Policy in Modern Greece

A very useful and elaborate book which covers basically every question of my topic in great detail. Includes a plethora of sources, mainly written, but also archaeological of the time period of Athenian imperialism. Seems quite reliable as it often bases its judgments and statements on the quotes used, and most information displayed is similar to other secondary sources. Overall in

First, Greek and American democracy has almost the same amount of nationalism and patriotism saw in the people. For instance, the Athenian individuals respected their energy and presence exceptionally. "Pericles says in regard to his policy: Remember that the motivation behind why Athens has the best name in all the world is on the grounds that she has never offered into affliction. However, has spent more life and work in fighting than some other states. Like this

Greek was in need of help. In what way? Greek needed economic assistance and financial help. United states was the only one that could help Greek as Truman said in his speech, “The United States must supply this assistance… No other Nation is willing and able to provide the necessary support for a democratic Greek government” (Document B). Greek state is threatened by terrorist which are led by communists says Truman. Without the help of United Stated the communists will take over. Turkey will be endangered, disorder and confusion will spread. Truman said that “If Greece should fall under the control of an armed minority, the effect upon its neighbor, Turkey, would be immediate and serious.” If the United stated dint help then communism would

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

When referring to classical antiquity period, most think of Greece and Rome dominating and flourishing in the areas of philosophy, sciences, mathematics and literature. One other admirable achievement, the establishment of early forms of democracy, came from this time period and should not be overlooked as it is the historical basis of our government today. The Founding Fathers of the United States were influenced by Greek and Roman concepts in law, government structure, and even philosophy. Concepts described in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States can be traced back historically to the classical antiquity period, and show that the United States government and law were modeled after those of Greece

The Greeks practiced what was essentially a policy of strict isolationism—fighting when they felt their own territorial holdings being violated but refraining from complex inter-Hellenic alliances and subjugation for profit. The navies, and especially their role in the Persian Wars changed all this.

During this time period, Greece was in a moment of imperialism and nationalism. This country believed itself to be the best country and was actively trying to

This established the current Greek state at the tip of the Balkan Peninsula however the Greeks living in Anatolia broke off from the Balkan State. There were over two million Greeks living in Anatolia that would take the punishment for the Greeks defeating the Turkish state.

In the process of Russia laying its claim to other countries, they attempted to take over Greece as well, but the British arrived just in time to prevent the takeover. Russia had already expanded so far into the other European nations that it was somewhat inflated. This caused a significant thinning of Russian forces in Greece, making it less difficult for Great Britain to force them out. This could have led to a different turn of events in the near future if Greece had turned communist at that time. Only speculation and the entertainment industry should expand upon this.

Another similarity that Greece and Persia had was the influence that they had on modern day politics. Politics is different in every civilization, there are monarchies, democracies and even anarchies in some indigenous tribes.Greece was a democracy which allowed important men to vote on community issues. This being one of the first democratic locations in written history, a lot of America’s government is based on. America has a system like that of Greece, although, unlike ancient Greece, America has let women vote since the 1920’s and non-land owning men could vote. When people are given the ability to be autonomous and decide the activities that occur in their community, only positive effects will be an outcome, but when others come to a disagreement

Of course, I meant that the bad foreign policy was the Spartans’. As known, the Spartans changed their policy on behalf of themselves, and applied the oligarchic system in Athens that it was known as Thirty or the Thirty Tyrants. This tyrannical regime was brutal and very bad against the Athenians, and so the regime and its policy was not constructive. So, the Athenians had to object it and this caused a rebel and moreover a revolution.

The support from the United Starts and Great Britain brought close relationships between the United States, Great Britain and Greece. The United States

Ever since the end of 2009, Greece has been involved in a financial and economic crisis that has been record breaking and shattered world records in terms of its severity and worldwide effects. The Greek government, since the beginning of the crisis, has attempted to take several governmental measures to try and “stop the bleeding,” including economy policy changes, dramatic government spending and budget cuts and the implementation of new taxes for citizens. In addition to this, the government has tried to alter the perceptions of Greek government and economy by the rest of the world in an effort to appear both more liberal and more democratic. Greece has also been working to privatize many previous

The roots of Greece’s economic problems extend deep down into the recesses of history. After the government dropped the drachma for the euro in 2001, the economy started to grow by an average of 4% annually, almost twice the European Union average. Interest rates were low, unemployment was dropping, and trade was at an all-time high. However, these promising indicators masked horrible fiscal governance, growing government debt and declining current account balances. Greece was banking on the rapid economic growth to build upwards on highly unstable foundations. In 2008, the inevitable happened – the Greek debt crisis.

The problem Greek is being faced with today could be dated back to 2001 when the Euro emerged and the drachma was dropped. The emergence of the Euro lead to an
