In what way was James K. Polk's presidency not reflective of his statement, "The world has nothing to fear from military ambition in our Government."?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options for this question, we can say the following.

In what way was James K. Polk's presidency not reflective of his statement, "The world has nothing to fear from military ambition in our Government."?

In that his decisions and actions showed the imperialistic and expansionistic side of the United States federal government, supporting the idea of the Manifested destiny, believing that God blessed the United States to expand and grow.

That is why President Polk, for instance, negotiated with the British the Parallel 49 to settle the border dispute to Canada. He signed the Oregon Treaty on June 15, 1846.

Or the issues and differences with the Mexican government when President Polk offered the Mexican government $20,000,000 to acquire the territories of New Mexico and California.

on this day in 1939, in response to hitler’s invasion of poland, britain and france, both allies of the overrun nation declare war on germany.

the first casualty of that declaration was not german—but the british ocean liner athenia, which was sunk by a german u-30 submarine that had assumed the liner was armed and belligerent. there were more than 1,100 passengers on board, 112 of whom lost their lives. of those, 28 were americans, but president roosevelt was unfazed by the tragedy, declaring that no one was to “thoughtlessly or falsely talk of america sending its armies to european fields.” the united states would remain neutral.

as for britain’s response, it was initially no more than the dropping of anti-nazi propaganda leaflets—13 tons of them—over germany. they would begin bombing german ships on september 4, suffering significant losses. they were also working under orders not to harm german civilians. the german military, of course, had no such restrictions. france would begin an offensive against germany’s western border two weeks later. their effort was weakened by a narrow 90-mile window leading to the german front, enclosed by the borders of luxembourg and belgium—both neutral countries. the germans mined the passage, stalling the french offensive.
