This third volume of the updated edition describes how the United States became a global power - economically, culturally and militarily - during the period from 1913 to 1945, from the inception of Woodrow Wilson's presidency to the end of the Second World War. The author also discusses global transformations, from the period of the First World War through the 1920s when efforts were made to restore the world economy and to establish a new international order, followed by the disastrous years of depression and war during the 1930s, to the end of the Second World War. Throughout the book, themes of Americanisation of the world and the transformation of the United States provide the background for understanding the emergence of a trans-national world in the second half of the twentieth century Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (Cambridge histories online, viewed July 17, 2013) Subject Diplomatic relations Politics and government SUBJECT United States -- Foreign relations. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140058 United States -- Politics and government. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140410 United States -- Territories and possessions -- History Subject United States Genre/Form History Form Electronic book ISBN 9780511980589 0511980582 9781107536197 1107536197
