Abstract

In 1965, Lyndon B. Johnson announced that the United States would join the fledgling global program to eradicate smallpox, beginning with a program in West Africa. The American commitment to smallpox eradication represented a broader effort in the United States and the developing world to expand international health programs and build a Global Great Society. The Global Great Society came to grief, but global smallpox eradication would ultimately succeed.

摘要

1965年，林登·B·约翰逊宣布美国将加入刚刚起步的全球根除天花计划，首先从西非的一个项目开始。美国对根除天花的承诺代表了美国和发展中世界为扩大国际卫生项目以及建设全球大社会所做出的更广泛努力。全球大社会遭遇了挫折，但全球根除天花最终取得了成功。
