Discussion Topic

In this unit, you have examined the importance of alliances and treaties between nations in times of war and in times of peace. Name at least three allies of the United States today. How do you think the United States would support these allies in times of war? What about in times of peace? How do you think they should support the United States in times of war or times of peace?

Answer 1

Three of the United States’ allies would be Britain, France and Japan. Usually we just support these countries by helping with their military, their programs, such as the European Union and United Nations. The United States would also help them deal with worldwide politics, and the United Nations programs. Due to the United States having one of the largest militaries in the world, we are able to provide soldiers, machinery or other supplies such as food, water or necessities. The United States would also support these countries in times of need. Such as Tsunami’s, hurricanes, or any other natural disaster.

Answer 2

Three Allies of the United States today are Britain, France, and Japan, for example. All three have been close allies since world war two and have been important partners in the international community when it comes to making making policies or implementing programs or anything similar that might be necessary.

The United States would mostly support them in times of war through their military. The United States has one of the largest militaries in the world and also one of the most developed and they could provide not only material support like soldiers or machinery, but also things like logistics or things necessary for espionage.

In times of peace, the United States could help them by supporting their plans and programs in organizations such as the European Union and United Nations which would provide legitimacy to their actions. They could also help with things like relief in case of a natural disaster, for example if a Tsunami or a Typhoon hit Japan.

In times of peace they could support the United States also in their dealing with worldwide politics and United Nations programs. The United States are an important player in the United Nations and France and Britain could support it in new policy making which could enable them to get majority votes and pass new ideas.
