This talk will focus on America’s involvement in conflict since World War II. It will examine America’s motivation for becoming involved in various conflicts in the second half of the twentieth century. It will consider whether America becomes involved in such conflicts to defend its freedom and interests around the globe or has it, as it has claimed, a greater goal of defending the freedom of others too. It will also question why America chose to become involved in each of the conflicts.
