The Monroe doctrine was used to help fight off communism in the United States and gain its freedom and support other countries to fight communism. Some American president made it clear that would adopt their policies to fight of communism at all cost like president Johnson where he adopted president Kennedy doctrine to fight off communism. Where President Kennedy would respond flexibly to communism warfare especially to guerrilla warfare president would send troops also U.S. troops to help countries fight against leaders imposing on communism in their countries. These wars so an end to some communist leaders and growth of America to richness. President Kennedy believed that this was the time to use force for freedom from communism and was ready to suffer or it. (Poetker, J. S. (1967)).

1. Summarize a situation that required U.S. diplomatic efforts during the president’s time in office.

In summary, the John F Kennedy need to fight off communism came at a very great cost and took some heavy toll to the U.S. where cold war was at its high peak. During President Kennedy time in office, the USSR were arming themselves with nuclear power leading to arms race time which could result in very dangerous times to everyone. President Kennedy stressed and said he would also arm the U.S. with nuclear and declared that the US will forefront itself to see freedom of its friends and oppose any foe at all cost. President Kennedy took literary to his words to help his friend where he took it upon to help Cuba war free from Castrol and took troops to Vietnam to fight off communism. During the USSR space mission where they would need to launch to space President Kennedy intervened since he also wanted the U.S to also to take lead to space travel for he saw it is a way for prestige and power. Also, President Kennedy gave lead to freedom riders protest for he believed in the strong growing developing nation needed help from their colonial countries’ masters, yet they could not attain this freedom without the intervene from US diplomat help since they were not well goo. During the cold war, government diplomacy was needed in order to combat the cold through political maneuvering and use of military power.

2. Explicate the diplomatic doctrine the president followed, with reference to specific actions or events that occurred.

During President Kennedy time as president, he came wanted the space program to take control and be the first people to space that way he met with Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna where they had lunch and talked about the space program and discussed in detail about it. During the Cuban cruel rule of Castrol, President Kennedy saw it necessary to help the Cuban people get freedom from him where it would gain Cuban freedom and would lead to the overthrow of Castro and the establishment of a non-communist government friendly to the United States of America. For that, they trained Cuban refugees into taking back their country from (Castrol Fisanick, C. (2004)). President Kennedy needs to help friends saw him send more than sixteen thousand army advisers to Vietnam. To fight off communism stating it was their war to win an American should be ready to bear the price saying that it’s their right to help defend Europe. In the summer of 1962, Khrushchev signed a treaty with the Cuban government to supply them with nuclear weapons. Spies from the United States planes took pictures of the plan of the nuclear plants and reported back to the U.S. where President Kennedy build blocked around Cuba which forced Khrushchev to withdraw seeing it would escalate into nuclear war fight.

3. Describe the effects of these diplomatic efforts for the U.S. and other countries.

The effects for these acts were catastrophic were both good and bad at the same time to the US and other countries since they all benefited to it. Cuban after its treaty with Khrushchev it saw peace from the US since the US signed a treaty also with Khrushchev to leave alone Cuba affairs. From Cuban for bringing the warheads to Cuba, they sought later to restart the program back home. President Kennedy sought out peace with them and brought the tension down with USSR and established a hotline to talk and help reduce the possibility of war by miscalculation. Though after it withdraws The Vietnam War of where the President sent over sixteen thousand troops to fight off communism saw the lives of so many American lives lost in battle. During the training of the Cuban refugees training to fight back against the rule of Castrol after training they went back to fight and when they landed back, they were all killed or taken to captivity since they didn’t win the fight and President Kennedy took the fall for it. President Kennedy push to support emerging developing worlds saw America get so many hatreds from countries who claimed dominance to their colonies. This made the US not only gain enemies but a decline in the economy since freedom came with a cost. Also, they got lots of new friends from the counties the helped attain independence. (Kennedy, J. F. ( 1964 ).

4. Assess, in conclusion, the advantages, and disadvantages of the particular doctrine that was followed. Cite at least four

Advantages to doctrines and disadvantages would be in the third world countries they got independence from their colonial masters. The military power of the U.S. also gained so many fight experiences due to being deployed to fight communism and leading to losses of so many of their lives. The American country and the USSR became friends and for this, they created a hotline to talk with each in aid of ideas and technology like the space project. Also, the United States technology grew to power since they traveled to the moon which helped gain fame and prestige. The end of Castrol was seen which took so many lives to bring him down. There was also a race for a nuclear weapon which brought tension from the world at large. (Stein, R. C. (2009)).
