Question

Complete the chart to show how issues that came up toward the end of the Cold War caused the United States to remain in conflict with other countries. Consider the US invasion of Panama and the Persian Gulf War.

Answer 1

The issue that led to the US invasion of Panama was that the leader of Panama, Manuel Noriega, was no longer on good terms with the U.S.

The Persian Gulf War happened because Iraq invaded Kuwait which was a supplier of oil to the U.S. and the West.

How did these issues relate to the Cold War?

The U.S. mostly invaded Panama to protect her commercial interests in the Panama Canal. The U.S. also invaded Kuwait to protect its commercial interests in Kuwaiti oil.

In comparison to the Cold War, we can say that the U.S. began to pursue more commercial interests as opposed to during the Cold War when countries were invaded to limit the spread of Communism.
