brutalized and executed thousands of people. America hated the Germans for this, but they were not as much of a threat to the Americans as were the Japanese.

Philosophies of Government in US and World Affairs Since World War II
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the revisionist, realist and liberalist relations with the Soviet Union and NATO, primary players in world politics since the end of World War II. US involvement with them has fallen into clear schools of thought, taking several approaches. Those of revisionism, realism and liberalism are discussed here. Liberalism has been the rule concerning NATO, and even ultimate focus of US relations with the former Soviet Union was that of liberalism. Though necessarily realist in assessing conditions as they existed, the US did not act from that perspective at all when Mikhail Gorbechev presented avenues by which those relations could take on a more liberalist slant. All of these schools have been used over the decades, but it is liberalism to which we consistently seem to gravitate. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Barter had become a substitute for currency, of which few had enough.
