During the political interlude between Wilson and Roosevelt, the United States was under the leadership of the Republican party which adhered to a conservative philosophy. While this regime continued, conservative southerners were content, but in 1933, Franklin Roosevelt, who had campaigned on the need for a "New Deal" was inaugurated President. Although southerners readily accepted the relief and recovery features of the first phase of the Roosevelt program, they opposed his program of sweeping reform because it constituted an impeding threat to intrenched political and economic interests in the South.

Historians of American diplomatic history during the Roosevelt administration have long debated whether President Roosevelt tricked Americans into the Second World War. Historians have looked at the personalities of Roosevelt and his key advisors to see if a hidden agenda was followed. U.S.-French relations highlight this divide. Did Roosevelt conspire in the fall of France, as the conspiratorialists claim, or did he simply react? With most historians focusing on Roosevelt himself, few have examined the systemic causes of America's failure to aid France. This study investigates how Roosevelt's style of governance and administration affected American foreign policy toward France. It concludes that the system of foreign-policy-making Roosevelt established made the outcome of American policy toward France-in particular the fall of France in 1940-nearly inevitable.

This work considers the strategic value of the 1935 London Naval Conference to the United States Navy and the American Government. It addresses longstanding historiographical debates on interwar American foreign policy, including the nature of isolationism under the Roosevelt Administration, the degree of Anglo-American cooperation in the 1930s, and the strategic vision of the United States Navy in the Pacific in the interwar period. Taking into account in equal degrees the perspectives of the uniformed naval officers and the civilian diplomats in the State Department, this thesis will argue that American participation in the 1935 London Naval Conference shows a degree of international participation and a commitment to the international order that is often overlooked by historians in this field.

Abdicar, ou ser desapossado dos extremos, é ter podada a potência inerente à jornada imposta pela vida culturalmente orientada. Agradecerei, sempre, toda a potência que me for ofertada, desde o início e até o fim da jornada. Portanto, agradeço em primeiro lugar, minha família. Vocês são minha vida e eu, a de vocês. Entendendo que a potência da vida não se manifesta apenas no seio da família, agradeço a todas as demais vidas e jornadas que se cruzaram com a minha. A todos os amigos, muito obrigado pela presença constante. Presto aqui sinceros agradecimentos ao meu orientador, Prof. Dr. Tiago Quiroga, por construir, com a precisão e delicadeza de um ourives, o trilho de ferro fundido sem o qual a ordem não imperaria sobre o caos de minhas inquietações. Meu empenho não teria forma, não fosse sua dedicação, empatia e fé. Agradeço também ao Prof. Dr. Pedro Russi, o jardineiro, pela participação no processo de plantio e cultivo, através do questionamento constante, produtor de tantas reflexões. Por fim, agradeço ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação da Universidade de Brasília, pela acolhida, pela jornada e por proporcionar o encontro com dois de meus grandes mestres.

Probably no economic institution of our modern world is affected with a greater public interest than money. Few subjects have been more discussed and few factors have had more influence upon the progress of civilization than has money. It has become perhaps the most indispensable of all the tools which we use in our urbanized modern life. [...]

This dissertation makes the argument that the Franklin Roosevelt administration (1933-1945) embarked upon a global hegemonic project to transform the United States into a world empire and bring about the "New World Order." In addition, the expansion of U.S. commercial and military air routes was seen as instrumental to the realization of this project.
