The Legacy of World War II and U.S. Foreign Policy: From Wilson to Eisenhower

This comprehensive overview explores the impact of World War II on U.S. foreign policy, tracing its roots from Wilson's 14 Points and the Treaty of Versailles to the rise of totalitarianism and the Cold War. Key themes include the U.S. isolationism, the Red Scare, and the formation of the League of Nations. The narrative progresses through significant events such as the Lend-Lease Act, Stalingrad, and Yalta, leading to post-war planning and the establishment of NATO. Major figures like Truman, Churchill, and Eisenhower illustrate the complex strategies of deterrence and containment during a pivotal era.
