But Greece isn't the only country that needs our help, so does Turkey. He says the Democracy needs to spread to any country that need help with their government because even if it's not perfect it is one of the best countries out there. This doctrine marks the tensions between Democracy and other forms of government.

      After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Japanese discrimination grew. All american's who had any Japanese ancestry were to be put in relocation internment camps. FDR states that all japanese americans be relocated to Southern Arizona. This was a violation of most rights, but to most people during this time the japanese americans were a "clear and present danger" which made this executive order okay and present through out the entire war.

      In 1928, the Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact was passed by nations like Germany, France, and the United States. Although it was passed for good reasons, it was a complete failure. It was made in order to make the country a more peaceful world and the countries that signed it were agreeing to denounce war as a foreign policy of solving a dispute. This would push countries to work out problems more diplomatically and aggressively. The US followed through with the treaty granting them unofficial leadership. This was greatly unsuccessful because the only was a country could enforce this agreement was if the used military involvement to support it.
