Your essay should be up to four pages, double-spaced, with normal font (12-point) and margins (approximately 1300 words in total). Although we are not specifically grading according to these criteria, the clarity of your reasoning, grammar, spelling, and general style will matter.

Prompt: Make sure to answer all the questions below.

Why did the United States develop a sphere-of-influence in Western Europe (and Japan) after 1945 – and why was such an approach possible after World War II but not after World War I? Why and how did this sphere-of-influence develop into a Liberal International Order? Lastly, how did the postwar order-building efforts by both the U.S. and Soviet Union lead to the Cold War? Be sure to apply the theoretical framework studied in class.
