[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel: [QB] Well, in politics wasn't it known as a nation's right to "self-determination"? At least after WWI, Wilson's idea was that every nation had the right to choose how it would govern itself and run its internal affairs, and no other nation could step in and change that. Every nation's territorial integrity was assured from the threat of another nation coming in and dictating how it should be run. At least some people had seen the problems the West's imperialistic policies had wrought on the underdeveloped portions of the world they conquered, and wanted to make sure things like that didn't happen again. Now, whether or not you could say that this policy has been successfully brought into present-day politics is another matter entirely. After WWII, Germany and Japan were brought under strict control by the Allies until a democratic system of government and strong economy had been established. We have also interfered with other nation's affairs when we deemed that not doing so would be "detrimental" to our own state of well being. On the other hand there are many cases where we haven't interfered. [/QB][/QUOTE]
