Civil War and by the Mid-20th Century, Thesis

Civil War and by the mid-20th century, the United States was a prevailing and influential nation in the global politics. This was enhanced by the high level of involvement in controlling the events that take place across the world. The U.S. has been an active player in working with other international players in the processes of promoting peace and coexistence among the nations. Its large stake in a number of countries politically or economically has made the U.S. A major player in the international politics. The high involvement of the United States in international relations has led many to argue that it to be considered as the 'policemen of the world'. "The United States acts as the world's police, through taking policy and practical military action/missions in war/conflict torn areas across the world, with the focus to enforce global security."

The flexibility of the military, and their positioning in major seas, and locations is an indicator that the U.S. is watching all events occurring globally.

This is because of the many military interventions that the United States has participated. The recent past has seen the United States taking an active role in various international events. Some of the events that the U.S. has participated have led to a debate, and controversy among the American public. This is because parts of the public have not supported the U.S. involvement while others have (Benhabib, 2008).

2. 1 List three to five (3-5) international incidents since World War II where America has taken on a policing role?

There are a number of international incidences after the WWII where the United States has taken a policing role. The United States became a superpower economy and nation after the WWII. The United States had to take on a policing role to ensure that it remains in control over international events across the world. The policing role was a strategy to ensure that it is updated on what is going on across the world, on its stake, and the finest ways to arbitrate the prevailing circumstance (Cameron, 2005).

The United States has taken on a policing role through participating in events like the Iraq war and ousting of Saddam Hussein, the…
