The Rise of American Imperialism Hawaii, Cuba, the Philippines, and Latin America

IMPERIALISM - definitions 1.Imperialism = the quest to build up a territorial empire. 2. Imperialism = control by powerful nation(s) over a less advanced or less civilized area.

Anti-Imperial Sentiment From the Civil War until the 1890s, most Americans had little interest in territorial expansion: Imperial rule seemed inconsistent with America's republican principles. The US did not welcome people with different cultures, languages, and religions. (Nativism & Xenophobia)

Acquisition of Alaska The exception to the rule was Alaska. In 1867, Sec. of State William Seward arranged to buy Alaska from the Russians for $7.2 million. Originally called “Seward’s Folly” as many thought the purchase was a waste. Turns out Alaska was rich in natural resources (timber, minerals, and oil), Alaska was a bargain at two cents per acre.

Fear of Competition In the United States, a growing number of policy makers, bankers, manufacturers, and trade unions grew fearful that the country might be closed out in the struggle for global markets and raw materials.

Belief in Darwinian Struggle A belief that the world's nations were engaged in a Darwinian struggle for survival and that countries that failed to compete were doomed to decline also contributed to a new assertiveness on the part of the United States. (Social Darwinism)

Dependency on Foreign Trade By the 1890s, the American economy was increasingly dependent on foreign trade. A quarter of the nation's farm products and half its petroleum were sold overseas.

A Desire for Sea Power Alfred Thayer Mahan, a naval strategist and the author of The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, argued that national prosperity and power depended on control of the world's sea- lanes. "Whoever rules the waves rules the world," Mahan wrote.

A New Assertiveness During the late 1880s, American foreign policy makers began to display a new assertiveness. The United States came close to declaring war on Germany, Chile, and Great Britain.

Imperialism/Jingoism Americans began becoming pro-Imperialists in the 1890s Americans began developing extreme nationalism. This nationalism fueled their imperialist interests around the world. The U.S. began getting involved in conflicts around the world due to their extreme nationalism which was supported by their military- known as Jingoism

The Annexation of Hawaii In 1893, a small group of sugar and pineapple-growing businessmen, backed by the U.S. military, deposed Hawaii's queen, seized 1.75 million acres of land, and conspired for U.S. annexation of the islands, which was achieved in 1898. Hawaii became a state in 1959.

Shocked by Anti-Imperialism European leaders were shocked by this declaration. Britain's Queen Victoria called on the European power to “unite... against such unheard [of] conduct."

The Philippine American War Due to their loss in the Spanish American War, Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States Many Filipinos did not want a new rulers, they wanted independence Filipinos rebelled against the US

American Atrocities To suppress Filipino insurgency, the American military forcibly relocated or burned villages, imprisoned or killed non-combatant civilians, and used vicious torture techniques (including the water cure) on suspected insurgents.

Philippine Independence During the war, more than 4,000 American soldiers, about 20,000 Filipino fighters, and an estimated 200,000 Filipino civilians died. America will defeat the Filipinos, but eventuallye, the Filipinos received their independence in 1946.

The Roosevelt Corollary In 1904, when Germany demanded a port in the Dominican Republic as compensation for an unpaid loan, Theodore Roosevelt announced the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, declaring that the United States would be the policeman of the Caribbean and Central America.

Interventions in Western Hemisphere To enforce order, forestall foreign intervention, and protect economic interests, the United States intervened in the Caribbean and Central America some twenty times over the next quarter century -- in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama.

American Support of Dictators Each intervention put into power a dictator supportive of American interests (Somoza in Nicaragua, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, and Duvalier in Haiti). Somoza Trujillo Duvalier
