What is IMPERIALISM

What Is Imperialism? Definition: the policy of extending a nation’s authority over other countries by economic, political, or military means. Usually in effort to obtain something for the Motherland

Example of Imperialism Example: The Conquistadors from Spain coming to the Americas. Motive: To bring treasures, gold, resources back to Spain.

The New Manifest Destiny What is Manifest Destiny? It is the United States destiny to expand to the West Coast in the 1840s. By 1890s, Americans were ready to resume Manifest Destiny – where were they to go?

American Attention Shifts Causes for us starting to look Overseas: Industrialization caused More Natural Resources – and we had “closed the frontier” New Markets – Ex. 1893 Depression, needed people to buy goods. Places to stop on trade routes We controlled the Natives, we can control others Imperialist fever raging in Europe

Justification vs. Motives What is a Justification? An excuse for an action “Mom I got this job cause I want to show you that I can be responsible.” What is a Motive? The real reason for an action “I got this job cause I wanted to buy the iphone.”

Justifications for Imperialism People in America founded justifications for expansionism: Social Darwinism: nations or races were treated like biological species, so for strong nations to control/dominate weak ones was in accordance with the laws of nature

Justifications for Imperialism 2. Anglo-Saxon Superiority: combined philosophy of Social Darwinism with the belief of racial superiority of Anglo-Saxons. - US responsibility to spread Christianity and civilization to “inferior” peoples.

Motives for Imperialism Military Strength: Alfred Thayer Mahan -The Influence of Sea Power upon History – (1890) sea power = great nations of history effective sea power required colonies. - America should acquire: Caribbean, Hawaii, Pacific Islands

Motives for Imperialism 2. Showing off United States Strength and Power: shows strength in conquering and controlling these regions.

Motives for Imperialism Turner Thesis: stated the American frontier has closed, and that expanding frontier creates new cultures and democracy. - New Resources needed

Motives for Imperialism 4. A Thirst for New Markets: American farms and factories produce more than the American public could consume b/c of technology. - US needed new raw materials for factories and new markets for its manufactured goods
