In Assignment 3,
we ask you to write about America’s international superpower role for
the long period since World War II to the present using a Writing Guide

of confrontation and one list provides examples of confrontations
occurring in the Post-Cold War period (1991–Present). Each example will
involve a specific strategic concern and confrontation. Review the
examples below and choose one strategic concern and one confrontation
from each time period to focus on in your paper. Once you have chosen
your examples, review the sources noted below.

Cold War strategic concerns: Containment, Domino Theory, “MAD Doctrine”

Cold War confrontations: Berlin Airlift; Korean War; Vietnam War; Cuban Missile Crisis
