STRAYER HIS105 WEEK 7 ASSIGNMENT 2.1

Assignment 2.1: Policemen of the World Thesis and Outline

Due Week 7 and worth 70 points

After the Civil War and by the mid-20th century, the United States had become the dominant force in

international relations. Some have argued that the United States’ military functions as the world’s “police.”

This assignment covers the manner in which this shift occurred and the consequences the United States

faces as a result of its status as “policemen of the world.” Using the Internet, research two (2) real-life

international incidents from the past five (5) years in which:

• 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.

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. (Note: Please consult the

Purdue OWL Website with tips on how to construct a proper thesis; the website can be found at:

For the next part of this assignment you will create an outline of the main points you want to address in

this paper. This will serve as the basis for your Assignment 2.2 Final Draft. (Note: Please use the Purdue
