So Why Did We Get Involved in the Spanish American War To free Cuba from Spanish rule

The Spanish-American War Pops Off in the Philippines We had a fleet under the command of Adm. George Dewey stationed in Hong Kong Dewey sailed into Manila Bay and tore that place up. He defeated the Spanish fleet of 10 or so ships without a single casualty Battle took about three hours Our ships were better quality than Spain’s

Then on to Cuba…

Rough Riders – San Juan Hill

We take Guam And its over! But Wait!!!!!!

Splendid Little War Although the War ended in August of 1898, we still continued on. Next stop Puerto Rico. We took Puerto Rico in 2 weeks. The fighting sparked again in the Philippines until 1902 when we colonized this country. More people died from disease in this war than bullets. 380 combat deaths, 2,060 from illness

Terms - Treaty of Paris - 1898 Spain agreed 1) CUBA independent 2) Puerto Rico and Guam “given” to USA 3) Philippines sold to USA for $20 Million

Platt Amendment - post-war Followed Sp – Am War Cuba must accept US to withdrawal Cuba could not allow foreign powers to control it USA could lease land for naval base – Guantanamo Bay

Protectorate Cuba becomes a Protectorate of USA until 1940 when we allow Batista to take control Protectorate = a country whose affairs are partially controlled by a stronger nation We offer military protection in exchange for a piece of the resources.

Throughout the 1890s, the U.S. Government became increasingly likely to rely on its military and economic power to pursue foreign policy goals. These territories captured in the Spanish-American war had a varied response toward U.S. occupation.

Foreign Policies of McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, & Wilson Presidents’ Beliefs

With a partner… Look at the policies of these four presidents and complete the following… -Summarize each president’s policy -in order rank the effectiveness of each of the presidents 1-4 Explain why you think #1 had the best policy

William McKinley Beliefs Moral responsibility to Christianize and civilize those who were not Main interest – to secure the will and interest of the average working man The “people” should get what they want Wanted to expand the frontier – continue “manifest destiny” 1897 - 1901

Theodore Roosevelt Many Progressives, including U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, saw no conflict between imperialism and reform at home. They saw in these new colonies an opportunity to further the Progressive agenda around the world.

Theodore Roosevelt Big Stick Diplomacy “Speak softly and carry a big stick” Big stick = military International negotiations backed by threat of force U.S. has moral responsibility to “civilize” weaker nations Roosevelt Corollary (to Monroe Doctrine) U.S. can use “international police power” in Latin America to prevent European nations from intervening http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFNgY9BdVRk 1901 – 1909

William Howard Taft Wanted to expand American trade Dollar Diplomacy “Substituting dollars for bullets” Maintain orderly societies abroad by increasing investments in foreign economies 1909 - 1913

Woodrow Wilson Wanted Foreign Policy based on principles rather than materialism “Moral Diplomacy” Hoped to spread democracy, condemn colonialism, and promote peace Hoped "to cultivate the friendship" w/ LA Help other nations achieve self-government eventually U.S. model (democracy) 1916 Platform vowed not to go to war 1913 - 1921

President Wilson may have had greater reservations about U. S President Wilson may have had greater reservations about U.S. foreign intervention in the Americas than Roosevelt, but he would order U.S. military interventions in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and also led to the purchase of the U.S. Virgin Islands from Denmark when Germans closed in on the Western Hemisphere in WWI

The military occupations incorporated elements of the Progressive program, attempting to establish effective local police forces, reform land laws, build public infrastructure, and increase public access to education. However, these programs were hampered by local opposition to U.S. occupation
