Description
Please see attached word document for additional details.
I have included my chosen topic, thesis statement, and annotated bibliography to make things a bit easier.
This will be submitted via a plagiarism checker so please no copy/pasting from other similar papers.
Thank you and any questions let me know ahead of time.
PAPER REQUIREMENTS:
Length: 10-12 FULL PAGES (10 is the minimum; 12 is the maximum). This 10-12 pages does NOT include the title page or bibliography. A full page is just what it sounds like- a page that is text from top to bottom. If you submit a paper that's 9 pages plus two sentences on page 10, that's not 10 pages. It's 9 full pages.
Spacing: Double spaced.
Margins: Standard margins.
Font: 12-point Times New Roman (black).
Composition: Your paper should comprise a title page, introduction, main body, conclusion, and bibliography - in that order. As noted above, the title page and bibliography are not factored into the page count.
Citations: I prefer in-text citations but I won't penalize any student who chooses to use footnotes or endnotes so long as they are correctly formatted. It is entirely your choice to use the method of citation you prefer.
Tips: Don't include your abstract. Don't include the annotations from your bibliography. Be sure to cite your sources very liberally - you should have several citations per page. If you submit a paper with few citations, you'll be penalized. If you submit a paper with no citations, you'll receive a 0 and probably fail this course. Occasionally, I have a student who doesn't believe me and submits a final paper with no citations - that student always receives a 0 and fails the course.

How the U.S. Foreign Policy with Cuba Has Changed Since the Trade Embargo
Introduction
The United States is one of the countries in the world, which has put in place a critical and
specific foreign policy, which aims at protecting the interests of Americans and their allies. The
United States has specific foreign policies in place, which they use to engage various countries,
and thus a policy is put in place highlighting the important aspects that outline the existing
relationship between the countries. The overall position of the United States is to understand the
kind of engagement with other countries, which dictates the kind of foreign policy that is put in
place to develop and guide the interactions. The United States has had a unique relation and
interaction with Cuba in the past. However, over the years, there has been a significant change in
the overall interaction between the United States and Cuba. Therefore, this paper provides an indepth analysis of the changes in the United States foreign policy to Cuba in the last 30 years.
The shifts in foreign policies over the years
The United States Embargo against Cuba is a series of sanctions that were imposed by the
United States to Cuba. The sanctions involved economic, travel and commerce restrictions. The
embargo was effected in the 1960s. The embargo was because of the strained relationship between
the United States and Cuba who were proponents to the Soviet Union’s communism. It was during
the rise to power of Fidel Castro when the United States put these restrictions in place. Fidel Castro
was strongly linked to the Soviet Union and thus the then president of the united states John
Kennedy viewed these close association between the Soviet Union and Cuba. This was when the
cold war was at its strongest point, and thus there was a significant need to ensure that clear allies
who sought to promote the ideology of the American people surround the country. President

Kennedy issued a trade embargo on Cuba through the department of the treasuries office where
clear regulations were put in place. The department further created a very difficult environment
for Cuba with further prohibitions in the following year where all transactions to Cuba were
banned. It is important to understand that during this period, Cuba was strongly allied to the Soviet
Union who was the main opponents to the United States during the cold war and thus it was very
difficult to create a situation where they could play neutral to the United States and the Soviet
Union since they significantly sought stability (Shifter, 2015).
President Kennedy, therefore, put in place these strict measures to ensure that the American
people and their interests were effectively secure from any impending or unforeseen dangers that
lurked during the strong heights of the cold war. The significant efforts put in place regarding the
foreign policy relating to Cuba was aimed at ensuring that Cuba through their president Fidel
Castro realize the need to work together in creating a common understanding between the two
countries since previously they had enjoyed a fruitful engagement where there existed a better
understanding between them. However, at the height of cold war period, there were critical issues,
which created divisions leading to significant changes in the overall engagement between the
United States and Cuba. Even though the United States at the time had significantly practiced a
flexible foreign policy, there was a significant need to put in place strict measures to protect its
interests (Bowman, 2017).
During the President Carter administration, the tough hardline stances that had been created
during the early 1960s were significantly lifted creative a more conducive environment where
