write a 1,000-word response, no more and no less (+/- about fifty words). This intellectual exercise demands that you USE YOUR OWN WORDS. The use of information from internet sources outside of class (e.g. Wikipedia) will be considered cheating. You are allowed to use your textbook for additional information, This assignment evaluates your comprehension of the lectures.

*The Introduction must set the historical scene (What is going on at the time?) and then explain what you will argue and why. When teachers say they expect an analysis, they mean they want you to gather information and ask questions about the material that begin with these two words: how and why?

*In particular, you will notice that each of the following essay prompts asks you to make several analytical judgments: you need to decide which historical factors are most important, explain how they shaped the course of the event, and argue why they were (and are) ultimately significant in U.S. History.

*Here’s how you do that: You begin each body paragraph with a topic sentence stating which factor you argue is most important and why. Defend this claim as thoroughly as you possibly can, using evidence, facts, drawing connections, and providing a strong and rigorous interpretation throughout the paragraph. Repeat in each paragraph. To successfully answer the question, you should present three to five well-defended factors, which contributed in significant ways to U.S. History. Again, if you find it difficult to decide on which factors to analyze, use my lectures as a guide.

*This essay is only four pages; thus, there is no need to waste time simply restating the claims you just made in the preceding paragraphs once again in the conclusion. Rather, conclude with a projection into later years beyond the scope of your essay: how did these factors continue to play a role in later years? Why are these aspects of this historical event important for students of history to know and understand?

America’s Superpower during the Cold War
Introduction
Major determinants of the United States’ ascent to becoming a global superpower have
everything to do with events after the Second World War. Placing controls that ensured the
horror was never repeated and its participation in the nuclear arms race and the fight against
communism all factored into America’s superpower ascent.
The ending of WWII
Nevertheless, it all began with the ending of the war. It was America’s contribution to the
dynamics and events that led to the end of World War II (WWII) and its aftermaths. For
instance, up to the end of the Second World War in 1945, it was the only country with atomic
weapons placing it as a decisive factor in its end (Burns & Siracusa, 2013). Meaning that by
entering the war, the US exercised its full resources and demonstrated its capabilities in
influencing major global issues. It underwent a major technological, military and more
importantly mentality change that changed the course of its future beyond the economic
challenges it had faced before.
Following the end of the war, it managed to obtain deals with countries such as Japan,
South Korea during the years 1945 to 1952 (Pells, 2015). It was during this time that the US
began exercising its militaristic power to control and influence forei...
