Summary Use what you have learned about historical conflicts to craft a set of guidelines that articulate when and how the United States should intervene in conflicts around the world. Present these guidelines in the form of a proposal to a Congressional committee.
Introduction
The role of the United States in conflicts around the world has varied throughout history, depending on the nature of the conflict and the peoples involved, the domestic political climate, the economic impact of intervention, and the actions of other nations and international organizations. Decisions about military, political, and economic intervention in conflict are often controversial, and Congress might benefit from clearer guidelines around when and how intervention is appropriate. In this project, you’ll use lessons from past conflicts and interventions to help guide future decision-making about the United States’ response to challenges around the world.

Consider a variety of types of interventions, including military interventions, diplomatic measures, and economic sanctions.
Step 2: Develop a set of guidelines for Congress that define when and how the United States should intervene in international conflicts.
Write two to three guidelines for each type of intervention (military, economic, and diplomatic).
