dc.description.abstractThe goal of this paper is to analyze how the United States acted as an empire during the first half of the Cold War by influencing the political, social, and economic policies of countries under its sphere of influence. This was accomplished through an analysis of secondary sources discussing American influence in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. In addition, an analysis of primary sources was done to look at the legacy of the American Empire in other countries. The paper finds that the United States did act as an empire as its influence was far-reaching enough to change many countries’ policies to suit the United States during the first half of the Cold War. In addition, the paper finds that the reason the United States did this was to increase the quality of life for its citizens and stop the expansion of communism.
