    The Role of United States of America in the Rise of Terrorism
    (كلية الاداب و اللغات, 2024-06) Cheriet Okba Gouissem Soufiane
    Abstract The global threat of terrorism necessitates a concerted effort by the international community to comprehend its underlying motivations and dynamics. Scholarly endeavors aim to elucidate the multifaceted factors driving terrorist activities, thereby informing comprehensive strategies for prevention and mitigation on a global scale. This study contributes to this endeavor through the examination of the role of the United States in the rise of terrorism, focusing on how US foreign policy and military interventions influence on global terrorist activities. It begins by defining terrorism from psychological, ideological, and strategic perspectives, establishing a framework for understanding the link between US actions and terrorism. The analysis then explores key events such as the US invasions of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003, the rise of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, and US interventions in Syria and Yemen. This study argues that these actions have created instability and power vacuums, facilitating the growth of terrorist groups. Additionally, it considers other US actions that have contributed to chaos in the Third World and discusses how the rise of terrorism has, at times, served US strategic interests. By critically examining these historical events and policies, the thesis provides insights into the complex relationship between US foreign policy and the proliferation of terrorism.
