Hi, Mohamed,
It is an excellent idea to efficiently group your documents, but I would not recommend including the citations in the introduction. You may certainly refer in general to the two different regional foreign policy approaches and expand upon your thesis a bit more in the intro and expand the thesis even more in the conclusion. Have strong topic sentences and refer to the documents in the body of the essay. I think that if you go into greater depth and flesh out your analyses of the documents and bring in the historic context, point of view, intended audience, etc...
Great question and good luck to you!

For the introduction of the DBQ essay, is it wrong to put groupings as your thesis and cite the documents you will be using for each grouping?
Example: "The United States foreign policy from 1890-1917 changed in that the United States took an effort to protect interests in the Caribbean through military efforts (Doc. 1, 3, 4,6) but remained the same in that the United States remained neutral from European affairs (Doc. 2, 5,7) ".
