Scientific Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: A, University of Miami (Department of International Studies), course: American Imperialism, language: English, abstract: An assessment of the role played by the United States in the so-called Congo Crisis, focusing on the initial stage from 1960 to early 1961. Following a rendering of the historical context, US foreign policy will be analyzed from a three-dimensional perspective.
