How should the United States have handled key events and
problems in its history of relations with other world nations? This
resource will help students evaluate the arguments on both sides of
the issues, the personalities involved, how the issues were decided
and why, and the long-term impact of those decisions on the future
of the nation. This complete student resource guide provides a
wealth of material for student debate and research on thirteen
pivotal events in the history of United States foreign relations. A
narrative overview of each event, expert analysis, the text of
primary source pro and con documents contemporary to the time of
the event, and ready reference materials will help students
understand the conflicting issues behind these events and apply
critical thinking skills to their evaluation of those issues. The
documents provide insight into the views of people involved in the
decisions, actions, and criticisms of each event covered.
From George Washington's Farewell Address, which advocated
American neutrality, to the Reagan-Gorbachev agreement at
Reykjavik, United States relations with the rest of the world have
swung back and forth from isolationist to interventionist. Each
entry contains an introductory discussion and analysis of the
event, followed by the text of primary documents reflecting a
variety of viewpoints contemporary to the time of the event on how
the United States should deal with the problem or issue. A
narrative introduction to United States relations with the rest of
the world in historical context, a helpful bibliographic research
guide for each event, including recommended websites and videos,
and a timeline of key events will aid the student researcher. This
is an ideal resource for student research and classroom debate.
