Reviewing Facts

1. The Good Neighbor Policy with Latin America was instituted by President

Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s. It replaced the Roosevelt Corollary, which had

been used to justify the use of military intervention to protect the interests of the

United States. Roosevelt withdrew troops from Haiti and Nicaragua. He also

withdrew the Platt Amendment, which had limited Cuban independence. This

policy survived until 1945.

2. Ataturk moved to modernized Turkey by changing from old, traditional ways to

more Western methods. He replaced Islamic laws with new laws similar to those in

Europe. He changed the Muslim calendar for a Christian calendar and moved the

day of rest from Friday, the Muslim day, to Sunday, the Christian day. He forced

the people to wear western dress and replaced Arabic script with the Latin alphabet.

He closed religious schools but opened thousands of state schools to prepare young

Turks for modern life. The women no longer had to veil their faces and were

allowed to vote. Polygamy was banned, and women were allowed to work outside

the home. The government built roads and railroads, set up factories, and hired

westerners to advise on how to make Turkey economically independent. To achieve

these changes, Ataturk ruled with an iron hand. He was a hero to some but was not

accepted by the traditional Muslims.

3. World War I influenced the relationship between India and Great Britain. Many

Indians fought for Britain during the war, suffering heavy casualties. This made

them angry that they had no freedom at home. The British had promised greater

self-government during the war, but afterwards they proposed only minor reforms.

The British also cracked down on protesters at Amritsar. India demanded full

independence.

4. In China there was a three-sided struggle from 1937 to 1945 between the

Guomindang (Nationalist), the Communists, and the Japanese. There was the

internal struggle between the two political factions within China, and then the

United States entry into World War II brought an alliance with China against the

Japanese. After the war, the US tried to prevent civil war but with not success. The

Communists would eventually take control.

5. The Great Depression of the 1930s was hard on the economy of Japan. Foreign

buyers could not afford to buy Japanese goods so prices for all exports dropped.

Unemployment in the cities soared, and the peasants on the farms were close to

starvation. This condition caused discontent of the military and ultranationalists,

who thought the politicians had caused the problems by agreeing to western

demands to stop overseas expansion. They wanted to expand into Asia, specifically

Manchuria in China, as a source of raw materials. They resented being treated as

second-class citizens in the world.
