英国留学生ESSAY范文——Role of US Military in World Policing

 

Introduction

The culmination of World War II made the United States be ranked one of the best countries, and the army became authoritative in several matters affecting the country such as keeping peace in other nations. Such operations by the military led to different reactions from others such as high crime rates in the world and easy access to the technology of other countries (Torreon, 2016).

 

The Truman Doctrine

The introduction of the new policy known as the Truman Doctrine during the reign of President Harry Truman in 1947 was basically to contain the spread of Soviet communism. The policy states that the nation would be involved into the communism spread through the use of financial aid to other countries that were being forced by the Soviet takeover. The Truman Doctrine was very integral to the foreign policy that would be adopted by the US after that. The dogma led to the subsequent introduction of the NATO in 1949, a military alliance that exists up to date.

The main reason for the Truman Doctrine was to offer protection and concrete support to every individual in the globe. It was after the freedom of people and also aimed at preventing people from any form of pressure that could distract their rights and freedom. Using the Truman doctrine, the US intervened in Turkey and Greece turmoil (Spalding 2006). The tradition made a shift to the American foreign policy of détente to a containment of the spread of communism.

 

International Events Involving the U.S. Military

The international event that took place in late 2012 in Jordan was one of the major events that evolved in the military of the United States. Several troops were sent to Jordan with a purpose of making peace in that particular nation. There was a fear among the Syrians, since they could lose control over their weapons.

The other major event is the careful two-step dance with China. Remembering that European nations raced to carve China into mercantile spheres of influence, the UK fought repeated Opium Wars. By contrast, the US maintained a more nuanced, enlightened open-door policy, built upon free markets. Note that the Obama administration has pursued a relatively peaceful policy vis-a-vis China based upon shared interests in trade and political stability. These involvements of the United States in countering terrorism can be attributed to the role of world law enforcement officers that the country assumed after it became the superpower of the world (after the Second World War).

 

Major Aspects of U.S. History since 1865

The United States was ranked as the super power since it acquired interests, specifically economic ones, all over the world. One of the activities that attributed to the developments in this role was the Spanish-American War. Also, it steered by Roosevelt’s presidency from the treaties that were assigned to his diplomatic approach to leadership (Balzer, 1996). Another important aspect that led to the United States rise as the world super power was the approach the military gave to the wars such as the Cold War. It was such a unique way, and no other nation could fight to the extent the US army did.

The United States is one of the major countries in the world. It developed and successfully used the first nuclear bomb in Japan which contributed to the emergence of one of the most superior nations globally. Several countries gave it respect, since they could not access the weapons similar to the United States had, and it gave the country a chance to drive its policy to other nations (Hook et al., 2011). The third aspect why the state is ranked at the top is because they could make a milestone in innovation and technological advancement that led to industrial growth and building the standing economy. Through this, the country developed more effectively than other nations.

 

International Incidents where the U.S. has Taken a Policing Role after WW2 Include:

 

1.The Korean War. In the 1950s when the North Korea happened to invade South Korea, it was not that attractive to the United States. US formed a team with the China, and the two nations employed communist economic methods. Since the US was never in support with the United Nations, they had to look for the best way to deal with the North Korea, so that they could go back to their territory. They formed peace that exists between two nations up to date.

2.The Lebanon Intervention. There existed a lot of tension between the Christians and Muslims during the Suez crisis. The two religions were not in real terms, and the Egyptian President Nasser was supporting the Muslims and inspiring them to come together and unite. A lot of issues emerged when the Christian president of Lebanon did not criticize the Western powers intervening in Suez Crisis. The head of state worried so much and knew that the Soviet Union would invite a coup in the country; therefore he asked the United Nations inspectors to help him solve the matter. Eisenhower sent over some troops and took over Lebanon for some months as they settle the whole issue at hand.

3.The Civil War in Somalia. The United Nations peacekeeping forces together with the United States military involved in the Somalia War to maintain peace.

 

Driving Forces

1.The Panama Canal Treaty was made to gain commercial interests and to protect the trading companies in the United States.

2.The Somalia government became a dictatorship, and the US intervention was to improve the civilian life and decrease tensions and illegal drug trades.

3.The Korean War was to fight off Russia from the Korean lands and to gain the control on the South Korean areas, and to free North Korea from the Russian military.

4.The US interfered in Lebanon to lower the political and also the religious tensions in the nation.

 

Conclusion

The foreign policies developed by the US after the Civil War coupled with its rise as a super power after the World War II have been major contributing factors to the country’s assumption of a policing role in the world. The US role as a world policeman has considerably contributed to global peace and the protection of the minorities.
