HIS 105 WEEK 10 DISCUSSIONPart 1: Post a ResponseBetween 200 and2016, the US experienced remarkable changes internationally and domestically.

But, two major rival powers were developing, rivals ideologically and militarily: The Cold War between the US and its allies versus the Soviet Union and its allies/clients would be the dominant international issue for the next four decades. Domestically, in the 1950s and the 1960s, the U

HIS 105 WEEK 6 DISCUSSIONPart 1: Post a Response By the late 1930s, the US was still dealing with the Great Depression, and conflict was intensifying between powers in Europe and between Japan and its neighbors in Asia. At first, isolationist sentiments prevailed, but eventually the US entered the conflict.
