Due to time constraints, I have thought about narrowing down my ideas to one single cause for war in America (how we got involved). I am entitling it The Cycle of Imperialism and the United States. I will quickly overview how the United States was a colony and how George Washington warned us not to get involved in foreign affairs. I will then cut to a short overview of how we conquered the Native Americans and ultimately wanted to play with the big countries (Britain, France, Spain). This will lead the students to an understanding of how we got involved in wars like Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, and so on.
My intent will be to allow students to understand the cycle that we were forced into without regard for our forefather's advice.
