Chapter 245 The Beginning (6)

After taking over South America from Spain, the United States did not incorporate these places into its territory as new states as in the past, nor did it carry out colonial rule in conquered areas like the European powers, but instead launched "institutional innovation"

"——By using soft (wind) hard (army) hands, South American countries have cultivated their pro-American government and power...

In the short term, simply expanding the land area will not have a significant effect on promoting industrial and commercial development. On the contrary, institution in newly incorporated backward areas will occupy a large amount of funds and delay the development of industry and commerce, especially high-end manufacturing, and

The newly added population will increase domestic employment pressure. If not, these areas that are mainly planted may even bring back the economic binary that the United States has finally eliminated. After the reunification of the two Germanys, Germany actually

The relatively backward East Germany region has dragged the entire German economy back.

Colonial rule is carried out because those who stay in the colony are not considered "one of their own people" and do not have to be too responsible, so the cost can be lower, but we still have to send troops and build colonial government axes to maintain the normal operation of the local society. If the local outbreak is revealed

Things like famine, in order to maintain the system and govern the suzerain country, they still have to deal with the resistance of the local residents - just like the Americans resisted the British. Once the management is not done well, these colonies will

It will not only not bring profits when smashed into the hands, but will also "suck blood" from the sect leader. The decline of Britain, France and other countries after World War II was to a certain extent the colonies in their hands.

"Turn down"

Through pro-US government and power, American capitalists can smoothly expand capital in the local area, which is not necessarily completely exclusive, but at least they can definitely give American capital the highest priority. And pro-US government and power itself and

The interest groups behind it are also profitable in the capital expansion of the United States, which ensures the firm surname of the "cooperational relationship" between the two parties. Later, the four major families that controlled the political and economic power of China belonged to this group of qualities.

At the same time, most of the time, the operation of local society, public security maintenance, infrastructure construction, etc. do not require Americans to worry about it. These are managed by the pro-American government and power, and only these countries are not conducive to the situation.

The United States only needs to interfere when the power of the United States changes. Once there are major changes within these countries and the situation reaches an irreversible level, Americans can also withdraw relatively calmly, such as withdrawing from mainland China in 1949, as long as it is subjectively

If you don’t want to get entangled, it’s hard to be held back and suck blood. To sum up, it’s the sentence from the previous section: Reap more benefits instead of harming them.

Compared with the British colonial model, the cost and risk of operation are much lower. At the same time, compared with the brutal colonial rule of the British, the moral pressure of this indirect control of the United States is indeed

It is much smaller, at least it seems to be much more "civilized". Such a "civilized" model is then packaged through concepts such as "freedom", "feeering", and "human rights".

, which makes it easy for the upper "elites" and intellectuals of the colonies to have a favorable impression of Americans and subjectively willing to invite Americans to replace Europeans, and people from these elites often become pro-American politics.

The candidates for power have reached an agreement with the Americans on "profit" and "righteousness". Naturally, everyone will be happy to cooperate and everyone will be happy.

While implementing its own "new system", the United States still adopts direct control for some strategic areas - the cost of "soft control" is low, but it is difficult to achieve it like a finger, and the strategic focus is not enough.

Before, it was the safest to directly control it. In 1903, the United States instigated Panama to leave Colombia and declared its power. Later, the United States obtained the right to dig the canal in the Panama Isthmus from the Panama government. In January 1914, the Panama Canal was completed, in addition to its economic benefits.

In addition, through the canal, the U.S. Navy's fleet can quickly shuttle between the two oceans without having to divide its troops to garrison the two oceans, which is equivalent to double the number of the U.S. Navy. In the year the canal was completed, the U.S. immediately went to the canal.

The district permanently stationed heavy troops, established 14 military bases or fortresses, and established the "Caribbean Command", which was later expanded to "Southern Command", and Panama became the "protective country" of the United States. In order to further strengthen the canal

In 1915, the U.S. military occupied Haiti and then captured Dominican in the following year, because both countries were on the island of Hispaniola, and the windward strait between the island and Cuba happened to be the United States.

The must-pass place on the east coast to the east entrance of the Panama Canal.

At the same time when Americans made a great leap in industrialization with the rich resources and markets of the American continent, the development of Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire in Europe had hit a "bottleneck". Their "capital rabbit" was also growing.

But they are latecomers and can "feed rabbits" grasslands (colonies) that have been divided up by the rising European powers at this time. This is a zero-sum game, your profits must be the losses of others, and they must be solved.

For capitalists, there is only one way to war, so in 1914, the First World War broke out. Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Italy and Austria were killed in the European continent, and the industrial foundations of both sides were both

It has suffered varying degrees of damage and was affected by the war, and normal production could not be carried out, but material consumption is increasing.

On the eve of the outbreak of World War I, the total economic output of the United States had reached the world's number one. As of 1914, there were 5,000 factories in the United States, 7 million industrial workers, and an annual industrial output value of 24 billion US dollars, including steel

Production accounts for half of the global output. When Europe was killed, the United States still chose to remain neutral and not intervene in the European conflict. It does not need to do so for the colonies in the Eurasian continent and the European powers.

opposition.

In fact, Americans panicked for a few weeks after the war started, but that was nothing. Ordinary people didn't need any reason to fear the war, and it was normal for the stock market to fall. However, next, American capitalists were soon from Europe.

Various orders were "overwhelmed" - European countries that were short of materials could only buy things from the United States. In 1913, the total export volume of the United States was US$3.8 billion, and more than 1 million people in China could not find jobs. In 1916,

The total export volume of the United States has soared to $5.5 billion. It has become very difficult for you to hire someone from the street to work.

In order to meet the needs of the war, Britain and France purchased supplies from the United States in large quantities, from weapons, ammunition, medicines, steel, bedding, food, etc. Most of them were paid directly with gold, and only a small amount would be used.

The payment of the government bonds issued by the United States itself - the paper money issued by Europe was not recognized at this time. It doesn't matter if it can't afford it for the time being, it can be owed first. By 1916, the British government owed the United States $1.25 billion and the French government

The axe owed $640 million, and Russia and Germany were also borrowing money from the Americans. During the entire war, the United States' private capital loans reached $3 billion. When Britain rose, Britain took over half of Europe.

The money is fighting with others, and now most of Europe is fighting with each other through American money. While the government is borrowing money from the United States, a large number of European capital flowing into the United States out of panic about the war.

In the first three years of the war, the United States remained neutral and made a lot of money. By 1917, the stalemate on the European battlefield was about to be broken, especially on November 7, Russia broke out in October.

The revolution, the new Soviet political axe was forced by internal and external pressure, and soon after, he had to sign the "Brest Peace Treaty" with Germany in March 1918. In this way, Germany not only obtained a large area of ​​territory from the Soviet Union, but also allowed it to

The main force of the German army fighting on the Eastern Front was transferred to Western Europe, and the balance on the battlefield began to tilt towards Germany. At this time, Britain and France were owing US capitalists $6 billion in loans. If they were defeated, the money would be only available to be paid.

The water was wasted. Therefore, the United States had enough reason to join the war and stand on the side of Britain and France - to ensure that the capitalists' loans could be repaid. Of course, the reason was not only that. The United States also obtained it from Britain and France before joining the war.

A large number of political and economic commitments. Before joining the war, the United States was doing business, and participating in the war itself was actually an investment, a big business. After that, the United States launched all foreign wars, basically took this path.

Number - War is about investment, investment requires low risk and high returns, so we have to "pick soft persimmons specifically". If you think about it carefully, we will find that Americans rarely gain any advantage in tough battles.

The war that really benefits it is to "pinch soft persimmons" or wait for "hard persimmons to become soft" before pinching them.

19 months after the US military announced its participation in the war, Germany signed an armistice agreement in November 1918, and the First World War ended. From a tactical perspective, there are no many outstanding battles here, and it is impossible to say which side of the battle.

The soldiers are even more brave, but they are fighting for national strength. To give an inappropriate example, two groups of people stand still and throw eggs at each other. In 1917, the eggs on both sides were almost thrown, and Germany was originally over because of the end.

After fighting on both sides, the situation could be slightly better. Due to the addition of the American super hen, the balance on the battlefield was drastically unbalanced. After the Germans threw away the eggs, they had to hang their egg liquid all over their bodies and announced their surrender.

During this war, the United States spent a total of US$37 billion, killed more than 116,000 people and injured more than 244,500 people. Compared with the number of casualties that are often millions in European countries, this consumption can be said to be extremely small. With this "

In sharp contrast, the United States had high returns. Before the war began in 1914, the United States had a total of US$3.7 billion in long-term and short-term debt, which was a pure debtor. By 1919, the United States became the largest creditor with 40

USD 100 million in debt. Driven by the strong demand brought by the war, the US manufacturing industry began another round. Its scale and speed exceeded the industrialization period that was previously known as the "Gilding Age".

This has come to an unprecedented boom. From this period, cars and electrical appliances have become popular in American lives. Highways and interstates with all connections have begun to spread throughout the United States. Americans' "on the wheels of cars" lifestyle

This is how it comes from this.

Politically, the world pattern, originally dominated by the European group led by the United Kingdom, began to gradually become a "dual-core drive" in Europe and the United States. It played a core role in the famous spoils-sharing conference after World War I - the Paris Peace Conference.

It was US President Wilson. Of course, at that time, "isolationism" still dominated the United States' foreign policy. The most typical example was that the United States withdrew from the League of Nations initiated by itself. Without looking at the details, it only depends on the national interests of the United States.

In the past, this choice is absolutely correct, because at that time the United States had only gained the right to speak and could not play a leading role. If you intervene too much in the affairs of the Eurasian continent at this time, you will be "responsible" to you.

The profit is small. If you deliberately pursue titles like "g2", it will become a fame and a real disaster.

If modern countries are regarded as a living organism, then their self-will should have two types - capital will and national will. The "self-will" mentioned here is simply the fundamental starting point for doing things.

Capital will, that is, what you consider when doing things is how to make money, the others can only be regarded as tools and means; the so-called national will, that is, what you consider when doing things is how to maintain the stability of current government. If you have some ideals, you will consider it.

How to enrich the country and strengthen the army, how to expand the territory, and making money through economics are just one of the means to achieve these goals. The Soviet Union, which engages in state capitalism, is purely the will of the state, and capital will dominate the decision-making system of European and American capitalist countries.

But there are also "components" of the state's will, and the final decision is often the product of the "neutralization" of the two wills.

In the 1990s, its self-will was almost pure capital will. At that time, President Hoover was born as the Secretary of Commerce and pursued "fundamentalism" or liberal market economy model in China. The political axe's butt was completely sitting on it.

On the other hand, the capitalist plays the role of a large-scale maintenance club.

After the end of World War I, due to the popularization of various large-scale production technologies, the labor productivity per unit of time increased by more than 40%. A large number of commodities were produced, so consumers' purchasing power also needs to be improved.

That is to say, people need to raise wages. But in the 1900s, workers' income did not increase accordingly with the increase in productivity. In 19), economists at the Brookings Institute once calculated that a family must obtain

The minimum necessities of daily necessities require $00 per year, but at that time more than 60% of American household income did not meet this standard. The gap between demand and supply became larger and larger, forming an economic "

At the same time, businessmen encouraged customers who were not well-off to buy things on credit by delaying too long, which further increased the risk of economic operation, which actually broke out in 2008

The subprime mortgage crisis is one truth.

19) In 2019, Germany was overwhelmed by huge war reparations and debts. A compensation of up to $400 million had expired, but Germany was unable to repay it. American banks had previously provided Germany and Britain and France.

The news caused a large amount of loans, and the news caused a major earthquake in the U.S. banking run caused by panic caused US$1.7 billion to lose US$1.7 billion. President Hoover and Treasury Secretary Mellon were greatly shocked.

Let the banking industry stop making random loans, and the government quickly began to adopt a monetary tightening policy. The real economy, which had been expanding rapidly, began to face the problem of insufficient funds. By October, the stock market appeared on "Black Thursday" and the "damshe lake" finally formed a huge storm.

flood.

In the stock market crash, investors cut the bottom and then cut it again, and eventually they became bloody, dragging down the banks. Banks tightened loans and dragged down the companies. Enterprises laid off employees, and market consumption capacity further declined, which in turn further dragged down the banks...

As a result, the US economy entered the famous "Great Depression". During this period, the US economy shrank by one third, with more than 5,500 banks going bankrupt, 86,000 shops closed, and the US dollar could no longer be circulated in some states.

People traded by barter. In the agricultural areas of the central and western regions, riots broke out. The people learned from the Chinese Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and rose up and occupied the State Zhengfu Building.

In a bleak state, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, took the stage. In his words, he will either become the greatest president in American history or the last president of the United States.

As we know it, he was lucky to have done the previous one.

Usually we are accustomed to linking the "Roosevelt New Deal" with "Keynesianism" and even confuse the two. In fact, the talks between Keynes and President Roosevelt were not pleasant at that time. They were basically talking to each other, and after the meeting

Keynes left the United States soon. The one who truly faithfully pursued Keynesianism was actually Germany under Hitler's rule, but the investment projects of the German government were not to build bridges and pave roads to carry out infrastructure construction, but to expand the army on a large scale. The Nazis created a large-scale military expansion for capitalists.

Effective demand, so the economic cycle was restarted, and Germany was the first to "get rid of" the troubles of the economic crisis. Now many well-known German brands were preserved at that time. Mercedes built fighter jets at that time, while Porsche at that time

The most famous products are tanks and self-propelled artillery.

At the same time, the American political axe did carry out many labor-for-relief projects, but this is by no means the whole of Roosevelt's new policy. At best, it can only be said to be some technical means to deal with the immediate problems. If this is the only way to say that Roosevelt is American history

It would be a bit too unworthy of the name of the greatest president. The most profound impact of Roosevelt's new policy on American history is that it created the huge middle class in the United States, which brought the social income structure from the "pyramid" by increasing workers' rights and welfare protection.

It turned into a "jujube pit". From this point of view, the proposal of Roosevelt's new policy may have been affected to a certain extent by the success of the Soviet model. At that time, the conservatives in the United States accused Roosevelt of being criticized by the New Deal.

The president is engaged in "socialism".

After World War I, more than 20,000 millionaires were added to the United States (the millionaires at that time were equivalent to today's billionaires). The people's income did not increase, and the gap between the rich and the poor continued to widen. The country's

The total economic output is expanding, and consumption capacity is actually declining. For example, a middle class with a property of 100,000 will buy a car, but a rich man with a property of 100,000 cannot buy it "in proportion"

For ten cars, the main force in creating consumption should be these people with a property of 100,000, not those millionaires.

Roosevelt's specific means of implementing the new policy was to strengthen the power of the government, skip the parliament and the Supreme Court, and directly promote it in an administrative manner. In the words of the Americans at that time, it was "independence". Note that the dictatorship was at that time.

It is not a derogatory term. At that time, Mussolini of Italy was also tyrannical. Under his governance, Italy's economic situation was very good, so it was popular with Churchill. American writers, the most influential ones.

The broadcast media figure Thomas made public suggestions many times: Roosevelt dared to take on the heavy responsibility and be Mussolini of the United States. At that time, the American public also highly praised Mussolini, but they were very disgusted with his ally Hitler because the latter and

American bankers got very close, so they were "hate" to the house.

If we use the current characters to compare them, the closest person to Roosevelt's image at that time may be Putin in Russia. However, Russia is still in a period of decline, and the US national power at that time was in an upward stage. After Putin took over Russia, he was in the country's position.

The oligarchy took office and adopted a suppression policy against the US chaebols. Specifically, the suppressed ones included the Morgan Consortium, Milong Consortium, Chase Consortium, DuPont and General Motors in the business world,

General Food, American Steel, Standard Oil, Colgate, Heinz, etc. At that time, the government had to implement social security plans and tax the undistributed profits of large enterprises. For a time, many scholars and professors carried out the government's

The capitalists challenged the capitalists by reducing investment, while the government officials reciprocates the capitalists through the media. In 1932, workers at the Ford Automobile Factory in Michigan held a general strike, and the troops sent by the federal government simply came to suppress them.

The state policeman started an armed confrontation with guns. Not only that, Roosevelt also launched a "**" campaign across the United States, and severely attacked the American black hands through the FBI and a civilian organization composed of veterans.

The Party and social security have thus improved significantly.

The reason why these two people are so tough is not only because of their personal surname. Putin is from the KGB and is supported by the powerful Russian agencies. Roosevelt's foundation is deeper. In addition to Roosevelt's uncle and nephew, the Roosevelt family, is the two uncles and nephews of Roosevelt, are the two uncles and nephews of Roosevelt, the Roosevelt family.

In addition to the president, the sixth president Adams, the eighth president Bren, the twelfth taylor, the thirteenth Felmo, the thirteenth Pierce, the 18th Grant, the 19th Hayes,

The twenty-two and twenty-four Cleveland presidents also had blood ties with the Roosevelt family. Like Putin, Roosevelt also relied heavily on powerful agencies, and the FBI was in his hands.

Pushed to the pinnacle of power—the side effect was that the FBI and its director Hoover later became too big due to excessive power. Truman formed the CIA in office, largely to check and balance in a decentralized way.

FBI.

As for the short-term situation at that time, Roosevelt and Putin's performance was similar - both of them only curbed the situation's sharp take-offs. Compared with Germany and Italy, the economic situation in the United States was actually not good at that time, and the economic indicators only recovered to 19).

The annual level - the employment rate does not include it. In 1937, the United States experienced another recession, with industrial output falling by 40% that year, returning to the level in 1934. Compared with Germany and Italy

The "Keynesian model" of Roosevelt's new policy is more like a dose of Chinese medicine - the effect comes slowly, but it is more effective. By 1939, when World War II broke out, the United States ushered in an opportunity exactly the same as World War I

At this time, the social structure of the United States has undergone profound changes. The soon-to-in wealth will no longer only allow capitalists to make another fortune, but will create a new overlord.

World experience has repeatedly proved that every move of entrepreneurs has a profound impact on the country's character positioning and lifeline direction, just like the first edge of the scalpel on the skin, which involves the whole thing.

The success of the 'career' was a failure. In this regard, the North Americans were lucky. They were waiting for Washington instead of Napoleon, Franklin instead of Bismarck, Jefferson instead of Robespierre...

It seemed as if I had caught a pair of playing cards in the world overnight. These outstanding middle-aged people who suddenly appeared from somewhere had the same light and meaning on their foreheads and eyes, the same spirit and the same courageous spirit.

, the same bravery and purity. It is like being guided by God in the dark. They gathered from all directions from North America, advancing towards the same light spot: reading power, equality, **, freedom...

...These aloof and elegant North Americans are so self-esteem and poetic, the consensus reached quickly without any trouble, the friendship between the fellow men who support each other and never deceive each other, the fruit of power after victory

The calmness and determination of the unconfused mind are really different from the later politicians. You can't see the urge to move, you can't hear the whispers and sharpen the swords of the plotters, and there are no common official coups and ''

The Hongmen Banquet-style power fight is notorious for the bloody disaster of the altar of "the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook"...

These high-IQ "large-sized children" are mature and fantasy, enthusiastic, brave and uneducated, like exams but refuse to cheat. They want to create a new picture called "America" ​​by drawing a new picture called "America".

Map to test their abilities, intelligence and morality. In just a few decades, the spiritual resources they have accumulated for this country without history have quickly created more glory and pride than the subsequent generations combined

They spared no effort and devoted all their efforts to solve so many problems for America in the cleanest and most economical way, saving so many troubles and hidden dangers for the future, and realizing so many dreams that Europe could not reach at that time.

——About the relationship between the army, the state and the individual (head of state), the separation of church and state, and the reading ability of military and political affairs; on the federal republic, universal suffrage, and the constitutional principles of checks and balances of powers; on modern university education...its its founding level

The talent, courage and virtue far exceed the "average" of the national quality that history has given to that era.

Among this group of people, there is one person who has to be said, that is Washington. We all know that Washington is the founding father of the United States, and he was the first president of the United States. He led the people of North America to win the Reading War.

Knowing that the reason why the United States can become the hegemon of the world today is Washington that seed. Needless to say, after he led the people of North America to win the Reading War, he declined the proposal of putting in the yellow robe, handed over the military power, disbanded the army, and chose to retire successfully.

Go back to his manor calmly. It doesn’t matter that he tried his best to use his prestige and influence to preside over the formulation of the United States’ founding constitution, which has since opened a new era in history and made the United States the world’s number one

A country with a democratically elected president, the first country with separation of powers, and the first country with a federal system. Not to mention that after becoming the president of the United States, he managed the country with ease and sophistication, and governed the United States in an orderly manner, for the United States

The prosperity and strength of the post-Japan period laid the foreshadowing.

He is a great commander, but he hates war. His greatest wish is to let war disappear on earth. He was born a slave owner, but his kindness and integrity qualities make

He was full of sympathy for the vast majority of black slaves. In the context of universal slavery in the South, Washington liberated all the slaves he had in his will, and he was the only one among the founding fathers of the United States to do so. Although due to the limitations of the development of the times,

Washington could not fundamentally shake slavery, but his pioneering action undoubtedly shocked the idea of ​​liberating slave owners. After Washington became two presidents, he firmly refused to serve as the third president. The United States had not yet had a presidency term.

If Washington has the prestige, it is not impossible to be re-elected, but Washington still handed over the rightful power and went back to his hometown. Since then, there has been no unwritten practice of more than two term presidents. Washington has gathered all kinds of virtues in

All in one's body, brave and fearless when facing difficulties, gentle and steady in behavior, and high in front of major decisions. Foresight.

He cherishes reputation but does not pursue fame and fortune; he is cautious, but he is brave enough to innovate. It is precisely because of the cornerstone laid by Washington that the United States has risen in the world and leads the development of the world trend today. Washington can be said to be

The most outstanding and greatest president in human history, no founding father of any later countries can match it. No matter how the Chinese people reject the United States or evaluate the United States, there is no doubt about this. Washington is the kind of TV series that only exists.

Why did the United States produce a Washington? We can only say it is God's will, God's will!

In terms of geographical advantages, the United States is undoubtedly the country with the best geographical advantages in the world. Russia has a large area of ​​ice and snow that is rarely visited, while China also has unsuitable Western-Tibet Plateau and deserts in Xinjiang provinces.

Area. Australia and Canada have too few populations, one is 20 million, the other is 30 million. Both Britain and France are too small. What about Brazil? Brazil's geographical conditions are very good, but the comprehensive factors are not good.

The economy started too slowly and the national geographical location was not ideal. If you look closely at the world map, you will find that the entire earth cannot find such a good place as the United States. It is simply a gift from God to the Americans. The United States is North and South

There is no strong enemy, and it is on the verge of two oceans, with fertile land and abundant water sources. The United States has unique natural resources, which is the fundamental condition for the United States to have a developed economy and affluent people. The United States mainland has a mild climate and fertile soil, and its arable land area reaches 197.45 million hectares, accounting for the world's arable land

13.15% of the total area is the country with the largest arable land area in the world. Big rivers such as Mississippi provide very rich fresh water, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of early agriculture in the United States and the development of industry later. The 13 lands are forests, of which 225 million acres are

It is designated as a national forest, a reserve for wildlife and a place for people to enjoy. The rich wood makes most of the houses and buildings in the United States consist of wood. The United States also has rich mineral deposits such as coal, iron, oil, zinc, copper, and silver.

It is rich and ranks among the world's top. There are famous lakes in the northeast of the United States - Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. It is the largest freshwater lake group in the world and is known as the "North American Mediterranean Sea".

You might say that the United States also has Alaska? But its economic value is more valuable than China. You might say that the United States also has Alaska? But its economic value is more valuable than China and Russia.

There are many useful things, such as oil, gold mines, abundant fishery, and a transit station to fly to the United States, which is known as the "Gem in the Snow". Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the United States to become the world hegemon.

The second geographical advantage of the United States is that it is a neighbor in the world that is not neighboring other major powers. This superior geographical location caused the tendency of American leaders to be unwilling to dominate or control other major powers before 1941.1918

After the year, the threat of the rise of US power to other countries was also affected by this remote geographical location. Of course, the United States in childhood was also well protected because of this geographical advantage. By the 1870s,

The United States' total industrial output value exceeded that of Britain and became the most powerful and developed country in the world. However, the most widely affected by the world is still the Empire, and the contradictions between Britain and the United States are not yet prominent. This is the remote geographical location.

The benefits of remote geographical location isolating the United States from Europe, keeping the United States away from the invasion of European powers and focusing on developing the economy. As Taylor pointed out: During this period, Europe believed that the United States is not only on another continent, but seems to be

It is in another country. It is precisely because of this that the United States did not suffer excessive interference from European countries in the era of territorial expansion. Europe does have some interests in the Americas, but not fundamental interests. Therefore, the United States purchased a large amount of territory from France instead of interfering.

.The same is true even at the end of the 19th century. Germany, which rose in the same era, was not so lucky. Germany's unification, expansion and strength were surrounded and intercepted by old European empires, resulting in its inability to rise peacefully like the United States, and could only

It was rebuked by force, and eventually triggered a world war, putting itself in a place of doom. Therefore, in history, the transfer of power (the rise of a great power replaced the former great power) was often known as a country with obvious tendencies of violence.

The excessive strength of the United States will inevitably lead to the union of other countries and conduct checks and balances. However, the superior geographical environment of the United States has led to the failure of the United States' power transfer.

Since its founding, the United States has been an immigrant. The country has not experienced feudal society, has no anti-feudal tasks, and the object of struggle is clear and single, so the unprecedented "Reading Declaration" in history has emerged. The historical period of the United States' growth happened to be

In the mid-term of the colonial and imperialist era, the founding of the country began to become stronger and became a great power when it was already in its end. The long-term arrival of the United States left a positive significance for maintaining American hegemony.

Therefore, it rarely has the idea of ​​colonialism, but more of it pursues the idea of ​​the idea, so it only has a jasmine country that cannot be called a colonial country. During the Cold War, the Stalin-like "red horror" in the world

When it was rampant, the United States led the so-called "free world" to fight against it, which provided a good reputation for the United States' world hegemony in the Western world. At the same time, the United States' historical policies also brought about the development of China countries.

It had a positive impact, for example, the idea of ​​** and national self-determination proposed by Wilson at the Versailles Conference, and the decolonization idea proposed by Franklin Roosevelt decades later, had a positive impact in underdeveloped areas, these historically

The famous event provided a good reputation for the United States in the Third World and provided a good "mass base" for the United States' world hegemony. John Ikenbury, a famous American international relations scientist, commented: "The United States' geographic relationship

The combination of strategic interests in the progressive normative principles of post-war order strengthens the United States as a non-compulsory, non-imperialist hegemony.”

The second of the historical advantages of the United States is that the two world wars provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the rise of the United States. It can be said that there were only two wars on the mainland of the United States, namely the Reading War and the Civil War. In other words, the United States has been in 1775.

After Lexington's gunfire, no bullet from another country was dropped. This situation is rare among major countries. (To be continued.)
