In your paper address the three events discussed in the Kinzer book, (Philippine-American War,
destabilization of Iran in 1953, and involvement in deposing Salvador Allende in Chile in 1973). Place
them in the context of their time and how the political, social or economic influences of the period
ultimately informed U.S. intervention abroad. Overarchingly, tie them together creating an argument
about the nature of U.S. intervention in the 20 th
century. Were these moves justified in light of the
contemporary climate? Why or why not?
