<p>CORE
The Black Panthers were all about black power and NAWSA was founded by Stanton and the other feminist woman, oh Anthony for well um... feminist rights stuff. </p>
<p>What was the United States' real purpose in initiating the Open Door Policy in the early 1900s?</p>
<p>The US wanted to guarantee that it would have access to China's markets. Since Japan and Russia were both very strong as well as other European powers, the US wouldn't have been able to win a fight for exclusive rights to China.</p>
<p>What does CORE stand for and what was the purpose of the group?</p>
<p>Congress of Racial Equality... haha 'nuff said. But to go a little deeper, they believed in the ideals of nonviolence to "combat" racial segregation (unlike the militant Black Panthers). I referred to both groups and several others last year in my last thematic essay.</p>
<p>What was The Mattachine Society and what did it advocate? What is significant about it?</p>

<p>Oh, who said the words, "Mankind shall not be crucified on a cross of gold" and what policy were these words in reference to?</p>
<p>William Jennings Bryan, who advocated the free and unlimited coinage of silver (the US remained on the Gold Standard until the Great Depression).</p>
<p>The Roosevelt Corollary refers to?</p>
<p>TR's corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, thus stating that the US would intervene in Latin America if they weren't being responsible in keeping up with payments to Europe, etc., I believe (correct me if I'm wrong). This basically fell under TR's big stick policy.</p>
<p>What was the Kellogg-Briand pact and when was it signed? Also, what were its major flaws?</p>
<p>The Kellogg-Briand pact was a joint statement by 60-some nations to "outlaw" war. It was signed in 1928 if I remember correctly. Major flaws to the Pact included: 1) the lack of an "enforcement clause" (i.e. most of the signers blew off the treaty), 2) overbroad wording in the Pact that allowed the undersigned nations to interpret "war" in whichever connotation they want, and 3) the Pact did not allow for future amendments.</p>
<p>Briefly explain what was established at the Casablanca Conference.</p>
<p>A treaty renouncing war as an instrument of international policy signed in 1928 by many of the leading nations of the world at the time. Its flaws are that such a broad statement could be interpreted many ways by different countries and the pact could really do nothing to stop a country which sought war as a solution to an international problem.</p>
