American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the South Pacific Ocean. In 1900, the United States entered into a Treaty of Cession with Samoa to acquire Eastern Samoa, now known as American Samoa. The acquisition provided the United States with a strategic harbor at Pago Pago and a presence in the Pacific to compete with other world powers like Germany for influence in the region.

The "New Look" foreign policy of the Eisenhower administration focused on brinkmanship and massive retaliation using nuclear weapons as a deterrent against communist expansion. It advocated threatening nuclear attacks to push communist countries back behind their pre-1945 borders and interfering in communist governments through covert CIA operations. The policy was based on the domino theory that if one country fell to communism it could trigger surrounding countries to also fall like a line of falling dominoes.Deterrence

Deterrence aims to persuade opponents not to initiate action through psychological threats rather than physical involvement. It involves restricting actions, promising punishment, and threatening retaliation to deter attacks. Key thinkers on deterrence include Bernard Brodie, Henry Kissinger, and Thomas Schelling. For deterrence to succeed, it requires communication of capabilities and credibility of retaliation. Types of deterrence include active/extended deterrence involving direct threats and passive deterrence relying on enemy perceptions. Massive retaliation and flexible response were Cold War deterrence doctrines that struggled with credibility.Deterrence Theory in International Relations

Samoa is a group of nine islands in the South Pacific ocean known for its beauty. Most Samoans grow and catch their own food using traditional methods like fishing and cooking in an underground oven, as supermarkets are scarce. Samoan culture is expressed through beautiful artwork featuring dark colors and patterns, and through traditional dances like the slap dance, clap dance, and fire dance. Daily life in Samoa involves building stick-and-leaf houses called fales, and children attend school to learn subjects like math, social sciences, and English, even while living on islands.Erosion and Sediment Control - Faga’alu, American Samoa
