Product Description
Recognition of Russia - A national paranoia over Bolshevism strikes America! After the Bolshevic Revolution in 1917, American relations with the Soviet Union are mistrustful and hostile. Then Roosevelt officially recognizes the USSR in 1933, which many call "a pact with the Devil."
Latin America: Intervention in Our Own Backyard - For over a century, the Monroe Doctrine was invoked to justify intervention in the Caribbean, Central and South America. Pan-American relationships deteriorated rapidly until 1933, when the policy of intervention is abolished and FDR's "Good Neighbor" policy is launched.
