Yet between 1945 and 1947, the United States violated its wartime rhetoric and instead sought an imperial solution to its postwar security problems in East Asia by acquiring unilateral control of the western Pacific Islands and dominating influence throughout the entire Pacific Basin. This detailed study examines American foreign policy from the beginning of the Truman Administration to the implementation of Containment in the summer and fall of 1947. As a case study of the Truman Administration's Early Cold War efforts, it explores pre-Containment policy in light of U.S. security concerns vis-a-vis the Pearl Harbor Syndrome. The American pursuit of a secure Pacific Basin was inconsistent at the time with its foreign policy toward other areas of the world. Thus, the consolidation of power in this region was an exception to the avowed goal of a multilateral response to the policies of the Soviet Union. This example of national or strategic security went much further than simple military control; it included the cultural assimilation of the indigenous population and the unilateral exclusion of all other powers. Analyzing traditional archival records in a new light, Friedman also investigates the persisting American notions of a Westward moving frontier that stretches beyond North American territorial bounds. 410 0$aContributions in military studies ;$vno. 198. 606 $aNational security$zUnited States 606 $aImperialism$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCold War 607 $aPacific Islands (Trust Territory)$xStrategic aspects 607 $aPacific Area$xStrategic aspects 607 $aPacific Area$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zPacific Area 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1945-1953 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a327.730965 700 $aFriedman$b Hal M.$f1965-$01093469 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971106903321 996 $aCreating an American lake$94364586 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05497nam 2200709z 450 001 9911019909603321 005 20230830174802.0 010 $a9786610541928 010 $a9781280541926 010 $a128054192X 010 $a9780471623564 010 $a0471623563 010 $a9780471623571 010 $a0471623571 035 $a(CKB)1000000000018987 035 $a(EBL)176025 035 $a(OCoLC)56712919 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000306004 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11195606 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000306004 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10294499 035 $a(PQKB)10273277 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC176025 035 $a(JP-MeL)3000111713 035 $a(NjHacI)991000000000018987 035 $a(Perlego)2765937 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000018987 100 $a20220914d ||| || 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aPhysical chemistry of macromolecules $ebasic principles and issues /$fS.F.
