Assignment 2.1: Policemen of the World Thesis and Outline | Complete Solution

By the mid-20th century, the United States had become the dominant force in international relations.

  • The U.S. used military action abroad.
  • Controversy existed within the American public regarding U.S. involvement.
  • Controversy existed within the country or countries affected by U.S. involvement.

    1. State your thesis on the significance of the current role of the US military, as exemplified in the two (2) real-life international incidents that you have researched. Justify your response.

For the first part of this assignment you will create a thesis statement. A thesis statement is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your main idea to the reader. The body of the essay organizes the material you gather and present in support of your main idea. Keep in mind that a thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself.

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

Plantation owners frequently freed their illegitimate children from slavery.

The large numbers of European women living on plantations were charged with overseeing adult female slaves and their children.

Which of the following aspects of British culture were used to justify the practice of slavery? Check all that apply.

The British thought that the dark skin of Africans was evidence that they were impure and therefore inferior.

British society was hierarchical, and the British believed that those on top had dominion and control over the people and things on the bottom.

The British believed that Africans were inferior because they were not Christians.

Which of the following best describes the theory shared by some historians as to why the practice of polygyny arose within some African communities?

Because of the length of time required for slave ships to travel the Middle Passage, slave traders formed unions with female slaves.

Slave traders felt responsible for the high percentage of African children transported to the New World so married multiple African women in order to better care for them.

The slave trade, which diminished the adult male population in West Africa by an estimated 20%, led to an imbalance in the male-to-female ratio in this region.
