Research Question: I began to wonder, Why did the French intervene in the war in Mali, and what has been the impact of the French involvement?

Thesis: I concluded that The French intervened in the Malayan Civil War because of security threats, the possibility of Mali becoming a terrorist state, and their historical obligation to intervene.

Topic Sentence #1: The conflict in northern Mali was caused by three major and many ethnic groups and religions: the rebellion of the Tuareg ethnic groups in northern , military overthrow of the elected president, and the Islamic want to take over Mali.

Topic Sentence #2: Seeing as the Malayan government was unable to handle the situation the French military intervened.

Topic Sentence #3: The French Intervention was one of the many attempts countries have made to help Mali, but it was by far the most effective.
