As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, we’re taking a closer look at the powerful force that is U.S. diplomacy.
The World Affairs Council of Connecticut and the Pequot Library invite you to a special evening exploring the evolution of U.S. diplomacy – from pivotal decisions to defining figures and from the impact of U.S. leadership on world history to where the U.S. is headed in the century ahead.
How did diplomacy shape the nation into a superpower, and where is the U.S. headed next?
