This topic reminded me of a class I took last semester,
Globalization since 1945. I pulled out
my textbook and searched the index for foreign policy. It said that leading up to World War II the
United States’ practiced non-interventionism meaning simply they didn’t get
involved. They were convinced to join
World War II to fight the spread of German and Japanese empires. So a countries foreign policy can change
depending on global issues and who is in charge. How has the United State’s foreign policy
evolved?

You could mention the Monroe Doctrine here.
ReplyDeleteYou could make a claim around whether foreign policy is beneficial or if we were better off when we practiced non-interventionism.
ReplyDeleteAnything really before World War I would be helpful to this essay overall, a good idea on what America went through to get its current mindset would really give the essay more "meat".
