As you recall from Unit 2, Pres. Woodrow Wilson famously vowed to make the world “safe for democracy” as the US pivoted from isolationism to interventionism during WWI. Trace US foreign policy following WWII from postwar nation-building agendas like the Marshall Plan, to the competing US-USSR ideologies of the Cold War, to the policies of “containment” and “détente” during the LBJ and Nixon years. Moreover, how are these doctrines threaded together in US war efforts in Korea and Vietnam, and reflections of Wilson’s pledge over several administrations?
