HOW DID THE UNITED STATES IMPACT THE ECONOMIES OF CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES SINCE WORLD WAR II?? In 1000-1400 word formal essay, make and support an argument that answers the question below. This means you must have a clear thesis statement that lays out your argument, preferably in your introduction. Each body paragraph should then support your thesis in a distinct way. Be sure to draw on lots of specific examples from the course readings throughout your paper as well as illustrative quotes. (Note: You should cite all the material you bring in from the text, even when you paraphrase. The authors last name and page number are sufficient, either in parenthesis or as a footnote). Question: HOW DID THE UNITED STATES IMPACT THE ECONOMIES OF CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES SINCE WORLD WAR II?? Economic issues can include poverty, trade, types of employment or unemployment, industry, agriculture, consumption (buying), property, housing, social services (including health and education), debt, currency, etc. Please be aware of the “when” of this paper: post-WWII to the present. Requirements: Your answer must be broadly true, in other words, it should be nuanced enough to capture the important developments in all countries over this time span. (For example, your thesis shouldn’t be “The U.S. supported dictators that exploited their position for personal economic gain,” because that is true in some countries, but misses entirely what the U.S. did in Cuba and Jamaica. That could be a good topic sentence for a body paragraph, but your thesis/paper should be much broader in scope). YOUR THESE SHOULD BE SUPPORTED WITH DETAILED EVIDENCE FROM AT LEAST THREE COUNTRIES, but an excellent paper will bring in all relevant evidence. You may use your New York Times articles, to supplement, but not replace the course material.
