What is Imperialism? Simple: It’s the building of an empire In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the U.S. began acquiring colonies and building its own empire

Why did the U.S. build an empire?

Economic Reasons Raw materials: pineapple, sugar cane, jute

Markets for U.S. manufactures

Reason #2: International Prestige

Reason #3: Military Power! Capt Alfred Thayer Mahan: To be a great power, you must have a great navy!

To have a great navy, you will require colonies both for raw materials and for coaling stations! (Map of Pearl Harbor)

But wait! There’s more! To protect your colonies and coaling stations you need…a great navy!

Charter members of the Mahan fan club

Reason 4: “Blessings of Civilization” Missionaries: American missionary efforts were big in Hawaii, China and the Philippines

That means… no more of THIS! Muumuus are invented!

Another blessing: Modern medicine!

And another blessing: Neato American manufactured goods…

Nice white folks… …who will very happy to tell you how to run your country

And if you object?
