The term ‘Policemen of the World’ has been used to refer to the United States (U.S.) even after the Civil War. This reference continues because, for many, the U.S likes to meddle in other nations’ affairs. According to its foreign policy, the U.S. insists on a mission to have permanent alliances with many countries. However, the intervention of the Military in foreign countries causes more harm than good. Military interventions in foreign countries by the U.S in recent years has been a humanitarian crisis and an escalation of conflict.

1. The U.S is known as the policemen of the world for its extensive involvement in foreign matters (Grossman, 2001).

a) In 2011, U.S. troops and missiles used in Libya against the Gaddafi government. It caused a humanitarian crisis and world uproar.

b) In 2013, the U.S. military got involved in Syria. This conflict is a continuous battle that has so far brought disaster to civilians.

2. The rise of U.S to become powerful world policemen (B, 2016).

a) Very strict laws against other nations producing or developing any nuclear weapons

b) Foreign rules for anti-terrorism

c) Implementing variations in migration policies

3. Ever since World War II, the U.S has taken on regulatory roles in various international incidents.

a) The conflict in Korea (1950)

b) Syrian terrorism 2013-present)

c) Support to the Russian and Polish public for a democratic and capitalistic government

4. Forces that fueled international policy decisions following the civil war

a) Division of Capitalist and Communist Bloc leading to the Cold War

b) Korean and Chinese wars

c) Treaty on the North Atlantic

In summation, the "World Policemen" continue to be involved in matters of other countries with an account to the policies set by the government. Though this is a mission that should bring peace and harmony to the affected innocent civilians, some of the military's intervention only makes situations worse (Vartavarian, 2015). It could, therefore, be termed as sometimes being a move with negative impact to the conflict surrounding a particular nation.
