But seventy-five years later, its influence has already diminished. This book is a short history of that decline; how high standards and treasured principles were ignored; how idealism was replaced by hubris and moral compromise; and how adherence to the rule of law became selective. It is also a look into the future - a future dominated by greater Asia and China in particular. We are in the midst of the third great power shift in modern history - from Europe to America to Asia. 651 0 $a United States $x History, Military. 650 0 $a International obligations. 650 0 $a Treaties. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1945- 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1945-1989. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1989- 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire militaire. 650 6 $a Obligations internationales. 650 6 $a TraiteÌs. 650 6 $a PreÌsidents $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a PreÌsidents $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 21e sieÌcle. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 1945- 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Politique et gouvernement $y 1945-1989. 651 6 $a EÌtats-Unis $x Politique et gouvernement $y 1989- 650 7 $a treaties. $2 aat 650 7 $a HISTORY $z United States $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a International obligations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977029 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Presidents. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075723 650 7 $a Treaties. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155866 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 1900 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Military history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411630 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781786079886 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220615010959.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76F54FB2EC7011ECA6D3045741ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
