Define regime change as a foreign policy objective and identify examples of its application by the United States.

What will be an ideal response?

When they use the military as an instrument of foreign policy, policymakers send a strong signal. When military conflict occurs on a grand scale-for the United States, that would include today's wars in the Middle East as well as the Gulf War (1990-1991), the Vietnam War (1965-1975), the Korean War (1950-1953), and the two world wars (1914-1918 and 1939-1945)-the goal is often regime change, the replacement of a country's government with another government by facilitating the deposing of its leader or leading political party. That is, rather than attempting to change another nation's policies, the wars are fought to end the reign of the enemy nations' leaders.
