Questions For Class Discussion
Chapter 41: America Confronts the Post-Cold War Era, 1992 - 2004

  1. 1. What is likely to be the enduring legacy of Bill Clinton in American politics? Did the focus on his personality and the scandals leading to impeachment drastically alter the way he is likely to be viewed by future historians, or will his economic policies and his political success in steering the Democratic party toward the political center be viewed as substantive achievements outweighing the weaknesses?

  2. 2Compare and contrast American foreign policy at the beginning of the twentieth century to that of the beginning of the twenty-first century. What differences are there? Are there any similarities?

  3. 3What similarities are there to the spread of Communism during the post-World War II era to the spread of Democracy in the post-Cold War era? If America was justified in intervening in halting the spread of communism in Asia, would Iraqi insurgents be justified in intervening in halting the spread of democracy in Iraq? Why or why not?

  4. 4How successful was America in punishing the attackers of 9/11? Was Americas war on terror a success or failure? Why or why not?

  5. 5What is likely to be the enduring legacy of George W. Bush in American politics? How will American history view his presidency; great, good, fair, or poor? Justify and support your answers.
