Select a key event in the history of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Analyze the problem the U.S. confronted, its policy options at the time, the solution it ultimately adopted, and the enduring significance of this policy. Possible topics include: the Barbary Wars, the King-Crane Commission, the discovery of Saudi oil, recognition of the state of Israel, the Suez crisis, interventions in Lebanon [Eisenhower or Reagan], the 1973 U.S. Soviet nuclear show-down, the fall of the Shah, the Iran-Iraq War, the Camp David Accords, the Gulf War, the Oslo Accords, and other topics of enduring foreign policy significance. Please avoid more recent events as we don't know the impact on future generations.
