Students should answer the following:
1. What had recently happened in the Middle East that motivated Carter to commit to this action?
2. What did Jimmy Carter mean by “Meeting this challenge will take national will, diplomatic and political wisdom, economic sacrifice, and, of course, military capability. We must call on the best that is in us to preserve the security of this crucial region. Let our position be absolutely clear: An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.”
3. Why do you think the United States was being protective of certain areas of the Middle East at this time?
4. Why was oil so important to the United States?
Create a Venn diagram on the board as a whole group comparing the Monroe Doctrine to the Carter Doctrine.
Now that we understand what the Carter Doctrine and Monroe Doctrine individually, the students will be asked to compare the two foreign policies.
