Throughout history, states and international organizations have initiated efforts to maintain peace in areas of conflict for a multitude of reasons. The purpose of this week's assignment is to provide you with a deeper understanding as to why and how these efforts have evolved over time. Summarize the evolution of peace operations throughout history. Some of the points you will need to consider are:
• What was the major difference between peace operations of the League of Nations as opposed to those of the UN?
• What impact did "robust" peacekeeping have on the overall evolution of peace operations?
• Select one "real world" peace operation that you feel has had the greatest impact on US involvement in these missions. Briefly explain why this experience was so significant.
The paper must be at least three pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least two scholarly sources, one of which can be found in the Ashford Online Library, and the textbook to support your points. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page.
