Similarities between Roosevelt and Truman<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both leaders were very influential when the country was in need. Roosevelt and Truman came with novel reforms of growing the economy. They both made efforts to become “transformational” presidents. They proposed new ways of economic structure and change. It is reported that “They both expanded economic issues during their times in offices. This, in turn, placed most of the burden on the federal government and future generations” [Source]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two leaders implemented the non-interventionist stance in foreign policy. This avoided fighting wars on behalf of allies or defending them.
Both presidents supported being internationalists rather than being isolationists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Differences between Roosevelt and Truman<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roosevelt applied the non-interventionist approach in Latin American affairs. Truman applied the same method in a broader spectrum.
Roosevelt faced war and invasion threats from Germany and Japan. Truman assumed the office when tensions were decreasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FDR had to rule while using military intelligence to deal with impending attacks. Truman worked hard in ensuring that those who wanted to attack surrendered.
In terms of foreign policy, FDR had to think about the welfare of the allies during wartime. Truman concentrated on bringing world peace in the post-war period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry Truman foreign policy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Truman was concerned about how the US will interact with countries in the future. Truman’s philosophy made some of the basic principles for American Foreign Policy in the twentieth century. Some of his policies are still surviving in the Middle East and North Korea, as argued by political analysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He engaged in a \u201cliberal internationalist foreign policy.\u201d This entails the intervention of countries in each other\u2019s governance issues in pursuit of liberal objectives. Such objectives included humanitarian and military intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also denounced isolationism. Truman wanted to protect his country from being dragged into war by forming alliances with certain nations. After the war, he helped to make the United Nations and the International Refugee Organization. [Source]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Franklin D Roosevelt foreign policy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FDR had the American government not interfere in Latin America through the Good Neighbor Policy. He preferred to be an internationalist rather than being isolationist. He provided aid to China, Britain, and France after advances by Japan, but was restricted from using the American military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He introduced the Lend-Lease program in which he would help allies, especially after threats from Germany and Japan [Source<\/a>]. In response to tensions arising, Roosevelt launched an invasion of France and Germany. This built a firm ground in assisting his allies and preventing more threats from Germany. His reign was marred with wars and invasions, FDR\u2019s foreign policy was focused on withstanding those threats and aiding the allies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
