250 Jahre Unabhängigkeitserklärung - Die Geschichte der USA seit 1900

The end of the "Indian Wars" in 1890 and the completed development of the West marked a phase of internal consolidation in the USA. A second wave of industrialization made the country the leading economic power and ushered in an interventionist foreign policy that culminated in the country's entry into the war in 1917. At the same time, immigration, labor disputes and racist-nativist violence shook society. Another milestone on the path to becoming a world power was the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency (1933-1945). His New Deal helped to overcome the economic crisis, established the American welfare state and fundamentally changed the relationship between the state, society and the economy. At the same time, Roosevelt shaped the modern presidency and gave US foreign policy a new direction.
