Last week we began studying Foreign Policy and started to understand the United States guidelines and strategies for relating to other countries around the world. Today you will analyze primary sources related to real world conflicts that the United States has faced. Can you think of any conflicts the United States has faced over time? | SS.7.C.4.3: Describe examples of how the United States has dealt with international conflicts |
Task I: Conflict and Cooperation With your group mates - you are going to do a little research into some key conflicts that have impacted the US throughout our history. We are going to have some political cartoon fun as we begin deciphering various conflicts in our history. You have three files to support your analysis - so be sure to utilize ALL of them in your studies. NOTE: Some of these documents do not hit on the entire standard and it is YOUR job to review the benchmark clarifications as you develop your understanding, hard copies are available in class :) |

Navigate a shifting landscape of international allies and enemies as you declare war, broker peace, and increase prosperity at home. https://www.icivics.org/games/crisis-nations |
