This study shows how, contrary to traditional thought, the U.S.
government assumed a leadership position in world affairs and
introduced innovative policies to ensure the maintenance of
international peace between 1921 and 1933. During the Interwar
Period, the Republican Party dominated American foreign policy
under three successive presidents: Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover.
The development of coherent strategies to preserve world peace and
security engaged the energies of their three secretaries of state:
Charles Evans Hughes, Frank Billings Kellogg, and Henry Lewis
Stimson. Optimism for a lasting peace would initially prevail with
the negotiation of new international agreements but the dream would
fade after 1931 as Japanese and German extremists embraced the use
of force to achieve power. The three Republican administrations
recognized that it was in America's national interest, as the
leading world power and major creditor nation, to help resolve the
economic and political problems of other nations. Louria describes
U.S. sponsorship of disarmament conferences, economic intervention
in Germany under the Dawes Plan, and establishment of a framework
for conducting relations in the Far East, particularly in China.
Filling a crucial gap in the post-World War I literature, this
study introduces substantial evidence of America's pursuit of world
peace and examines the original thinking related to the prevention
of future wars that existed. It also details why these Republican
innovations failed to halt the world's drift into another
disastrous war.
