Draw Conclusions

Discuss the role of the Spanish-American War in determining the winner of the 1900 U.S. presidential election.

"It is clear that the main element of any United States policy towards the Soviet Union must be that of a long-term, patient but firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansive tendencies .... It is clear that the United States cannot expect in the foreseeable future to enjoy political intimacy with the Soviet regime. It must continue to regard the Soviet Union as a rival, not a partner, in the political arena. It must continue to expect that Soviet policies will reflect no abstract love of peace and stability, no real faith in the possibility of a per­ manent happy coexistence of the Socialist and capitalist worlds, but rather a cautious, persistent pressure towards the disruption and weakening of all rival influence and rival power."

-Mr. X (George F. Kennan), State Department professional, "The Sources of Soviet Conduct," Foreign Affairs, July $1947$

How did American planters react to Queen Liliuokalani's actions when she gained power?

"The reason why we find ourselves in a position of impotency is ... because of the traitorous actions of those who have been treated so well by this Nation. It has not been the less fortunate or members of minority groups who have been selling this Nation out, but rather those who have had all the benefits that the wealthiest nation on earth has to offer-the finest homes, the finest college edu­ cation, and the finest jobs in Government.

"This is glaringly true in the State Department. There the bright young men who are born with silver spoons in their mouths are the ones who have been the worst. ... In my opinion, the State Department ... is thoroughly infested with Communists.

"I have in my hand fifty seven cases of individuals who would appear to be either card-carrying members or certainly loyal to the Communist Party, but who nev­- ertheless are still helping to shape our foreign policy."

-Joseph R. McCarthy, Speech to the Women's Club of Wheeling, Wheeling, West Virginia, February $1950$
