At this point his plans were failing but when Dulles came into the picture he not only didn’t go through with his plans but he actually changed them completely.

When General MacArthur wanted to attack China, Truman refused ... the defense budgets increased spending, Ike sought to lower military costs by relying heavily on nuclear weapons as oppose to conventional forces.

Okonkwo was a man dominated by ...

Philip VI spent much of his resources on entertainment and finery with gay abandon." 5 This caused conflict with the king's subjects. Since the king was considered to be sacred and inviolable, neither cousin would challenge Philip VI. However, they would exploit the situation and King Edward III lost no time and invaded Normandy with an army of 10,000 men. 6 This leads to another cause for The Hundred Years' War. The land along the Channel and Atlantic coasts was England's first line of defense against an invasion. England held claim to this territory from the twelth century through the marriage of King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. King Edward III was determined to gain ... himself with a bridgehead for future expeditions into France. 7 But the major cause of The Hundred Years' War was the economic interest - the revenues to be gotten from this rich territory.
