- More about America's Wars: Interventions, Regime Change, and Insurgencies after the Cold War
The collapse of the Soviet Union and the 9/11 terrorist attacks led the US to intervene militarily in many countries, changing regimes and fighting insurgencies. The era is now ending with the resurgence of great power rivalry.

The collapse of the Soviet Union marked a significant shift in global power dynamics, leading to the emergence of American global hegemony in world affairs. This period, known as the post-Cold War era, witnessed both Democratic and Republican governments engaging in interventions, combatting insurgencies, and overthrowing regimes. In his book, America's Wars, Thomas Henriksen delves into the United States' attempts to reshape the world through military invasions into nations plagued by civil wars, ethnic cleansing, brutal dictatorships, and devastating humanitarian crises.
Immediately following the Cold War, the United States intervened in various regions to promote Western-style democracy, humanitarianism, and liberal internationalism. Notable examples include interventions in Panama, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo. However, the 9/11 terrorist attacks marked a turning point, leading the United States to embark on larger-scale military interventions to defend itself from further threats by al Qaeda and to address perceived nuclear arms in Iraq. These military actions also involved fighting small-footprint conflicts in Africa, Asia, and Arabia.
The post-Cold War era is gradually coming to an end, with the resurgence of great power rivalry and growing threats emanating from China and Russia. This shift in global dynamics has significant implications for international relations and global security. As the United States continues to navigate these complex challenges, it remains to be seen how it will shape the future of world affairs.
