U.S imperialism was a result of industrialism. Industrialization required a lot of raw materials and the only way to get them was through conquering other places. This also led to manifest destiny which was the dream of the United States expanding from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. During our conquering we got ourselves into the Spanish American war. In the Spanish American war Cuba was fighting Spain for their independence. We sought to help Cuba for our personal interest.
Involvement in the Spanish-American War, acquisition of Hawaii, and introduction of the Open Door policy in China were actions taken by the United States Government to
A. establish military alliances with other nations
B. gain overseas markets and sources of raw materials
C. begin the policy of manifest destiny
D. support isolationist forces in Congress

I am going to talk about the Spanish American war which was a war between Cuba and Spain. Cuba was seeking its independence from Spain due to the harsh treatment given to Cubans. One of the many reasons we got involved was because a lot of news articles talked about how Spain mistreated the Cubans. The publishment of these articles was called Yellow Journalism. When we got involved we became known as a global power.
One important conclusion that can be drawn as a result of the United States experience in both the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Persian Gulf War (1991) is that
1. Only the President should decide issues of war and peace
2. The media are a powerful influence in shaping American public opinion toward war
3. The public has little confidence in the ability of the American military
4. International organizations play a decisive role in determining the outcome of a war

President Theodore Roosevelt had a big stick policy which was to speak softly but carry a big stick. The big stick symbolized the U.S army which meant that the U.S would use its military power to carry out the foreign policy.
The Monroe doctrine gave the U.S. the right to intervene in the affairs in Latin America. In other words it gave the U.S safety because they protected our business and economic interest in the world. For others of course it was a warning against colonization.
The Monroe Doctrine declared that the United States would
A. prevent the establishment of new European colonies anywhere in the world
B. help colonies in North and South America adopt a democratic form of government
C. view European interference in the Americas as a threat to the national interest of the United States
D. prevent other nations from trading with South American nations
(C)
In 1823, the Monroe Doctrine was established mainly because the United States wanted to
A. keep control of Alaska and Hawaii
B. establish more colonies in Latin America
C. support England’s attempt to keep its empire in Central America
D. warn Europe against any further colonization in Latin America
