Back in 1916, America brought on several new changes to running a business that affected not only the business owners, but the workers as well. President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Trade Commission Act in 1914 that better regulated what businesses could do behind closed doors and prevented false advertising (Progressive Era, slide 28). This made things more fair between businesses and did not seem to be too far reaching for the government in my opinion, but when he got involved with child

After the murder of former President Mckinley, President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt took over his role and became the youngest person to ever serve as president at the age of 42. As a social darwinist in international affairs and a progressive in domestic affairs, he believed that the U.S. is fighting against other countries in a “survival of the fittest” competition and that the U.S. government should involve itself in the needs of U.S. businesses. As a result, throughout his presidency, Teddy made

3. How and why was the West transformed in the late nineteenth century? How did these changes affect the people living in the West? How did the changes in the West transform America? In the late nineteenth century, the rise of an industrial America took the country by storm. New innovations, and the development of steel manufacturing, petroleum refining, and the expansion of railroads, changed the nation’s economy and the lifestyle of the people. The names of Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller

contribute to a group of people failing to accomplish a goal, but the stubbornness of participants often is a leading cause. The Senate’s failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 shows this idea, due to the feud between President Woodrow Wilson and the Internationalists, and Henry Cabot Lodge and the Reservationists. The Internationalists fully supported the passing of the Treaty of Versailles, whereas the Reservationists believed it was necessary to change the Treaty, specifically Article

After the industrialization of the nation, problems arose because of many new circumstances. The progressive reform efforts were an integral part of United States history. Reforms such as the Antitrust Movement and the Clean Food Push helped protect the public from unsafe conditions, both in the business and in the market. After the rise of the Standard Oil Trust, other companies began to form trusts as well. Soon after this, trusts controlled every industry, which was detrimental to the economy

All three of these Presidents’ did a lot to contribute to United States foreign policy. Roosevelt had his “Big Stick” Policy, Taft had his “Dollar Diplomacy,” and Wilson had his “Moral Diplomacy.” But which one did the most to acheive US foreign policy goals? Which one enforced the “Monroe Doctrine” most effectively? Which one protected the “Open Door” in China? That president was Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt strongly believed in the Monroe Doctrine; so much so that he even added a corollary to

In order to properly put the diplomatic actions leading up to World War 1 in perspective, this essay will examine the diplomatic tendencies after the Napoleonic Era. The period approximately between 1815 and 1900 is pinned as a century of peace. However, this is not the case, and in fact, it could be argued that the diplomacy during this time period was a major cause of World War 1. Although this time period did not contain a massive geographic battle spanning across several continents, it contained

In 1914 World War I began, Europe got quickly involved. As we know the United States is a neutral nation because George Washington believed in neutrality for this nation. President Woodrow Wilson announced that the U.S would stay neutral during World War I. Germany kept instigating the United States to get involved with this war so their decision was made. On April 6th 1917 the United States was fully in World War I. This was a smart decision of them to make. The Germans wanted the United States

“Hard Times” is a novel with the most confusing characters who would need talented actors and actresses to be able to represent them because of the characteristics they show that are hard to understand. The actress named Chloë Grace Moretz, or Mia in the movie If I Stay could represent the character of Sissy Jupe, as a result of her ability to be positive and know what it’s like to lose it all, But still have the ability to wonder and love. Tom Hiddleston in the movie Thor, who plays Loki, has the

“The Sacred,” was married and later got divorced. He could have written this poem when he was grieving that and did not want to interact with anyone else. His car was probably the place he went to have privacy and quiet, at times like that. Brian Wilson, who wrote “In My Room” for The Beach Boys, wrote the poem after battling drugs, alcohol, abuse, and mental illness for years. The poem could have a lot to do with what he felt like while he was going through everything. He probably
