Chapter 18: Imperialism

Global Imperialism Imperialism: the policy in which stronger nations extend control over weaker nations European & Asian Imperialism: – Africa a target of European expansion – Great Britain: “The sun never sets on the British empire.” – Japan expansion into China

Reasons for US Imperialism 1) A thirst for new markets and raw materials – US developed a favorable balance of trade 2) Desire for military strength – Alfred Mahan: advocate of imperialism – Goals- a modern fleet, naval bases in the Caribbean, a canal through Cent Amer, Hawaii 3)Anglo-Saxon superiority

Hawaii Hawaii’s economy - American sugar industry The Queen overthrown (1893) - John Stevens led a revolution to overthrow the queen - President Cleveland ordered her power restored b/c majority of Hawaiians did not support annexation Republic of Hawaii - President McKinley got Congress to annex Hawaii in 1898 (became a state in 1959)

Alaska William Seward (Secretary of State) bought Alaska from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million Known as “Seward’s Folly” Became a state in 1959

Spanish American War April 20, August 12, 1898

Causes 1) Cuban revolt against Spain; Spain used harsh tactics to suppress uprising 2) Yellow journalism: printing exaggerated stories 3) De Lome letter: letter from Spain criticizing the President 4) USS Maine exploded in Cuba: 260 killed – US declared war on Spain on April 20, 1898

de Lome Letter …Besides the ingrained and inevitable bluntness (grosería) with which is repeated all that the press and public opinion in Spain have said about Weyler, it once more shows what McKinley is, weak and a bidder for the admiration of the crowd besides being a would-be politician (politicastro) who tries to leave a door open behind himself while keeping on good terms with the jingoes of his party. Nevertheless, whether the practical results of it (the Message) are to be injurious and adverse depends only upon ourselves. I am entirely of your opinions; without a military end of the matter nothing will be accomplished in Cuba, and without a military and political settlement there will always be the danger of encouragement being give to the insurgents, buy a part of the public opinion if not by the government… ENRIQUE DUPUY de LÔME.
