complex. Ford's goal was to produce a vehicle from scratch without reliance on foreign trade. He believed in the global expansion of his
company. He believed that international trade and cooperation led to international peace.

He opened Ford assembly plants in Britain and Canada in 1911, and soon became the biggest automotive producer in those countries. In 1912,
Ford cooperated with Fiat to launch the first Italian automotive assembly plants. The first plants in Germany were built in the 1920s, which
agreed with Ford's theory that international trade was essential to world peace. In the 1920s, Ford also opened plants in Australia, India, and
France, and by 1929, he had successful dealerships on six continents.
