    In Assignment 3, we ask you to write about America’s international superpower role for the long period since World War II to the present using a Writing Guide provided in Blackboard. Your paper must use a minimum of three sources from the list provided below.

Each example will involve a specific strategic concern and confrontation. Review the examples below and choose one strategic concern and one confrontation from each time period to focus on in your paper. Once you have chosen your examples, review the sources noted below.

    Cold War examples—choose one strategic concern and one confrontation that illustrates that concern:
    Cold War strategic concerns: Containment, Domino Theory, “MAD Doctrine”
    Cold War confrontations: Berlin Airlift; Korean War; Vietnam War; Cuban Missile Crisis

    Post-Cold War examples—choose one strategic concern and one confrontation that illustrates that concern:
    Post-cold War strategic concerns: Terrorism, Rogue States; WMD
    Post-Cold War confrontations: First Persian Gulf War; Invasion of Afghanistan; Invasion of Iraq;
    Bombing of Libya (2011)
