Identify the two examples you will discuss—one from the Cold War period (1947–1990); another from the Post-Cold War period (1991-Present). Each example involves a strategic concern and a confrontation.

Cold War strategic concerns: “Domino Theory”

Post-Cold War confrontations: Invasion of Afghanistan (2001)

1. Introduction:

  • Identify the two examples you will discuss—one from the Cold War period (1947–1990); another from the Post-Cold War period (1991-Present). Each example involves a strategic concern and a confrontation.
  • Inform the reader that you will be discussing the history and issues related to your examples as well as comparing the two examples.

2. History and Issues: In two paragraphs: Describe briefly the background of your example from the Cold War period (1947–1990) of a strategic concern and confrontation. Establish the general time period, key leaders, and any outcome. Then, do the same for your Post-Cold War example (from 1991–Present).

3. Comparison: In your comparison paragraph, compare the different historical contexts and strategic concerns and the outcomes. What do you see as the strengths and weakness in each example?

4. Conclusion: In your conclusion paragraph, consider your examples as they illuminate today’s international issues and America’s role in the world. What lessons can we learn from these examples? How do you think we should approach the future strategically?
