US Involvement in World Affairs

Talk briefly about the background of the problem (what is is and why it was a problem). Answer the following questions: Where did it happen? What country/countries were involved? Who were the leaders/key players? When did it happen? And how/why did the United States become involved? Based on what you learn, draw a conclusion about the decision of the US to intervene in the conflict (was it a good thing or a bad thing?). Plan to speak for 7-10 minutes.
