Description
Introduction During the first half of the twentieth century, two world wars escalated. World War I, 1914-1918 involved approximately 32 nations. World War II, 1939-1945 involved approximately 50 nations. The first war was launched under the banner to make the world safe for democracy. The second was billed as the war to end all wars. The United States, significantly involved in both wars, emerged from World War I as the most powerful military and economic nation on earth, with New York replacing London as the center of world finance. As a nation whose majority control remained in the hands of citizens in the U.S. politically defined as white under the platform of "race" as a social construct, there were those at home and abroad who viewed the march for democracy as white advancement to promote an Anglo-Saxon ideal. Hence by the end of World War II, if the United States intended to remain a partner in conducting world business, this country would have to show that it was not treating its inhabitants of African descent as inferiors and second-class citizens.
