Foreign Affairs
War has been common throughout the world for vast amount of reason through time.
America has had the most involvement in this cause. Many people have been concerned with the
United States involvement in these crisis. People have felt like the United States shouldn’t be involved in foreign affairs due to past history when things didn’t go too well. The United States should be involved with foreign affairs to help other nations become strong like us and also join us as allies.
The United States has had it share of trials and tribulations dealing with foreign affairs. In the 19th century the Treaty of Paris was signed, as a result of this treaty being signed the alliance between America and Great Britain was formed. Other nations should take note that the United
States can help them benefit in great ways. Other countries like North Korea are the countries who chose to isolate themselves for foreign affairs in the public. North Korea chose not join allies the United States. According to bbc.com North Korea says it needs nuclear weapons to defend itself from US "imperialism". This clearly shows that North Korea isolates themselves from the rest of the countries.
Another current situation in todays news is the missing Malaysian Airplane. Although the
United States has nothing to do with the situation by sending aircrafts to help search for the plane
Malaysia would see that the United States could be trusted. If the United States joined allies with

Celestine 2 Malaysia it would increase our alliances more, and we would gain not only Malaysia trust but hopefully other countries. Seeing that the U.S. greatly can join alliances with different countries is another reason we should be involved in foreign affairs.
We’ve seen through the years how sometimes the U.S. actions have negative outcomes.
We can learn from these situations by avoiding conflict

    The Korean War was embroiled by the involvement of the three superpowers; the USA, China and the USSR. There are many reasons that contributed to the continued support of the US in South Korea including the concepts of the domino theory; the containment of Communism; the rising public pressure on Truman in order to maintain the American Pacific ‘sphere of influence’ and the arguable major conflicts of ideologies between the nations. As well as a clash between the superpowers concerning ideologies, the leader of South Korea, Syngman Rhee, and the North Korean leader, Kim Il Sung, both had conflicting models for the future of Korea. Although both leaders wanted a full Korea, they wanted it in very different ways. The US involvement in supporting South Korea’s democratic government against the oppression of the North is clearly evident; however the domino theory may not be the overwhelming reason for the continued US support.…

    The American intervention in the U.K. and Iranian affairs led to the downfall of one country and colonization by another. The same pattern of events happened in Guatemala when the U.S. bought land there and was going to lose that because Guatemala wanted to grow its economy. The CIA’s “covert ‘Operation PBSUCCESS,’ were among several hundred records released by the Agency on May 23, 1997 on its involvement in the infamous 1954 coup in Guatemala”. The coup in Guatemala was a war caused because the U.S. had to protect their interests, in this case money and land. Then again, the U.S. interfered in foreign affairs just a couple of years later.…

    While the two world powers never fought face to face, their ideological differences caused proxy wars, in which both countries would support opposing sides of a war effort as a way of competition. The Korean War was the first substantial battle between the two countries in the name of containment. Before the 1950’s invasion by the North Korean Army, Korea had been divided into two sectors; the communist North, supported by the Soviet Union, and the anti communist South, supported by the United States (Foner 715). The Truman administration sent American troops into Korea in an attempt to militarily suppress the northern invasion. Through the help of the United Nations, fifteen other countries also committed resources to the Southern Korean side.…

    The Soviet Union received the area north of the 38th parallel and the US got the south. The Soviet Union established a communistic government in the north and the South was more democratic. In 1950 North Korea invaded South Korea in an attempt to reunify the country under their communist government. The US and the United Nations gave support to the South while China gave aid to the North. This attack led to war which eventually ended in a stalemate and a divided Korea. Eventually, South Korea became a wealthy trading nation and the north’s condition began to decline. By the late 1990s the South Korean government implemented the "sunshine policy" which involved peaceful cooperation with the north (Rowntree 380). The north remained hostile and detonated small nuclear bombs in 2006 and 2009. The sunshine policy was dropped in…
