Why did the U.S. Get Involved Over Seas?  Economic growth ( ): due to industrialization, rise of factories, transportation revolution, technology, and growth of cities. Also created need for  Imperialism by European powers: created competition over markets and trade.  Advanced military technology: created a strong army and navy.  Nationalism: provided an ideological justification.  Religion: missionaries trying to save souls by converting them were on the front lines of the imperial project.

What is Imperialism Again? Under imperialism, stronger nations attempt to create empires by dominating weaker nations – economically, politically, culturally, or militarily. Usually the imperialist country will create “colonies” which are areas under their control that pay them taxes. Colonialism is a form of imperialism.

Arguments for U.S. Expansion Wanted control of Pacific Ocean. Increased trade with Asia made it strategically important. Promoting economic growth. The need to “secure” new markets abroad. Protecting American security. Navy – USS Maine. Preserving the “American spirit.” The argument was that U.S. was an adventurous and expanding peoples.
