that was in the interest of the u.s. ms. garcia: they wanted european stability, to assist in the post economic recovery. these are all very good answers. at the end of the war, there were an estimated 10 million people left homeless and in some cases, stateless in europe alone. truman wanted to accommodate a greater share of the displaced persons in order to assist europe's postwar recovery. financial aid to the war-torn nations was not enough. the united states had a moral obligation to accept a number of the displaced persons in europe. yet congress resisted. even after americans became more fully aware of the horrors of the not see death camps, congress resisted. congresse tell me why would have been so resistant at this time to accommodating displaced persons? anyone want to venture a guess? that at this moment in time, the national origin quotas are still in place. admitting people outside of those national origin quotas was a highly controversial idea. act the displaced persons finally passed, it passed three years aft

the u.s. role in the history of the world. my work that most pertains to our panel today is a book called "promise and peril -- america at the dawn of a global age" out in paper back. you can buy it down stairs. i had the distinction pleasure of being the chair and co-organizers of this really exciting panel, i think. and i hope you'll agree once we're done. 's not just really about foreign relations, but world relations. the spark for this panel is the centennial of the 1916 election in which wood row wilson ran on a he kept us out of war, despite the military interventions ongoing in meks keen the caribbean. marking the centennial of this election, this round table brings together superb historians with a wide array of focuses to address whether or not 1916 should be seen as the end of an era or the beginning of an era or was 1960 a turning point. many of us will have firm stances on this. some of us will probably equivocate a little bit. here at the outset, i wanted to thank -- give special

from the u.s., a quick reaction. secretary of state john kerry pointed out the contradiction to remarks made by china's president last fall. >> when president xi was here in washington, he stood in the rose garden with president obama and said china will not militarize in the south china sea. but there is every evidence, every day, that there has been an increase of militarization of one kind or another. it's a serious concern. >> reporter: in another part of the south china sea, china has been reclaiming seven reefs in the disputed spratly islands. it's building airstrips there. one is already in use and can accommodate military aircraft. the buildup in the area has led the u.s. to conduct freedom of navigation patrols by ships and aircraft. the area is a vital shipping route. vietnam, malaysia, brunei, the philippines and taiwan all have rival claims in the south china sea, but china claims most of it. on wednesday, its foreign minister declined to confirm the woody island report but justified the military buildup i

the u.s. and russia will bring a ceasefire by saturday. that deal excludes i.s.i.l. and al-nusra front and all rebel groups that will not commit to a cessation of hostilities. the syrian opposition wants international guarantees that the government in damascus and russia will not target rebel groups under the pretext of continued operations against i.s.i.l. and al-nusra. while the government in damascus says it will accept the partial truce, it warned rebel groups not to attempt to strengthen their positions during any pause in the fighting >>> ready, aim, stop firing, catching up with the latest in syria's bloody civil war. joining me for that conversation is ambassador, director of government relations and vice president for policy and research at the middle east institute. a cessation of hostilities. they don't want to call it a ceasefire any more, that doesn't include some of the parties who are doing much of the fighting. does it mean anything? is it worth? >> just like a lot of syrians i'

is the u.s. having a influence priority here, has this ever bean top priority and what's the significance of this summit? >> well, having it at sunnylands does isolate the nation, and obama's attempt to work more closely with the group, only a handful have signed on to the tpp, and there are probably nations that won't join at all, much more in the china camp. and some that are on the fence. this group of nations although they are getting closer together, economically, the reality is that they're still very disparate nations, nothing close to the european union by any standard. so i think that it's going to be difficult for obama to really work with them as some kind of multilateral block, because they're not even cooperating that closely yet. so -- so it will be interesting what they end up talking about. because i don't think they're going to come to much agreement on anything. >> kelly, i want you to talk about china's role in this and the battle over the south china sea. if you can explain wha

the u.s. officials say the plan considers 13 different locations in the u.s., including seven existing prison facilities in colorado, south carolina and kansas, as well as six other locations on current military bases. they say the plan doesn't recommend a preferred site and the cost estimates are meant to provide a starting point for a conversation with according to the officials, the u.s. facilities would cost between $265 million and $305 million to operate each year. the annual operating cost for guantanamo is $445 million, but the officials said the cuba detention center will need about $225 million in repairs and construction costs if it continues to be used. they said it will cost between $290 million and $475 million for construction at the various u.s. sites, depending on the location. members of congress have been demanding the guantanamo plan for months, and those representing south carolina, kansas and colorado have voiced opposition to housing the detainees in their states. the adm

the u.s. ever closer to entering the conflict. in april 1916, wilson defended neutral rights as he had since the sinking of the lusitania and threatened to several o-matic --s with germany followed following the sinking of a passenger boat by u-boat. bluster by the wilson administration led to the germans backing down this u-boat campaign. there was a divide in the response of the american electorate. for wilson americans saw this is a triumph of u.s. assertive neutral rights diplomacy, while critics perceive this as leading from behind or diplomacy from behind. in 1916,of the war there were a number of major events. we don't have enough time to go through them, there was a major battle which round up being a truce that resulted in the british blockade continuing. there were many monthlong battles which resulted in more than one million total casualties. as at least aen watershed in terms of the fighting of the war itself. politically, 1916, wilson have the advantage of incumbency. but rightly

the reason the u.s. and the rest of the world is concerned about this is that this technology is exactly the same technology, ballistic missile technology that north korea has been seeking in order to develop a missile that could carry a nuclear war head and threaten countries around the world, including the u.s. that's why you've seen this almost universal condemnation of the launch >>> during tonight's g.o.p. debate, bush said that the way to deal with this is through pre-emtive strikes. how feasible is that? >> he is not the first one to suggest that. 10 years ago ash carter proposed the same thing. it was argued that the u.s. could very easily take out the launch pad by firing a sea launch, a missile on a launch pad with fuel would be easy to carry out. it was argued that after that north korea would probably not respond, but now 10 years later when he is the secretary of defense and privy to all the war gaming that goes on about what would happen in the peninsula, if there was a provocative act, that

the u.s. government acknowledged that every penny that he sent was intended only for purely humanitarian assistance for these 14 families. intended forit those purposes, even the government acknowledging the money never went everywhere -- anywhere but those recipients to buy food, by shelter, medicine. nobody contends that a single tony went to saddam's regime buy weapons, to terrorist groups, anything else. yet the u.s. government indicted him for what i think he called, aptly, a crime of compassion. two months ago, he stood in a federal court in missouri expecting to receive probation because what he was accused of the wing has not been a crime now for nine years. yet he was sentenced to three in federal prison, which he began serving two weeks ago at fort leavenworth. i was able to speak to his son and son-in-law on the devastation this has wreaked on dr. moody also his family. he has several college-age students. has another son who is 16 years old and is a junior in high school, and his br
