The topics that are the focus of your paper seem to take
US history from the time of early imperialism under Teddy Roosevelt in the first decade
of the 1900s to the time when the Cold War was beginning to heat up in the late 1940s
and early 1950s.
So with those two larger topics in mind -
imperialism and the Cold War, you may want to talk about the development of the
first:
* how the United States became an empire and
expanded its territories to include the Panama Canal, control over the Caribbean, with
heavy influence over Latin America and the Philippines. Include why the US would do
this - for world power in competition with other empires, and for control of resources
which would aid our economy
And the beginning of the Cold
War second:
*how our goal of expanding our control as an
empire changed into a foreign policy of containing the Soviet empire's expansion, and
controlling more resources and influencing other countries with economic and military
aid so they wouldn't be communist, or so the Soviet Union would not gain access to their
resources.
