America becomes a world power: imperialism

America becomes a world power The Pressure to Expand Chapter 10 section 1 ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS What factors led to the growth of imperialism around the world? 2. In what ways did the United States begin to expand its interests abroad in the late 1800s? 3. What arguments were made in favor of United States expansion in the 1890s? THE BIG IDEA In the late 1800s, as European nations took over vast areas in Africa and Asia, American leaders looked to extend American influence abroad.

America becomes a world power The Pressure to Expand Chapter 10 section 1 KEY TERMS: Imperialism Nationalism Annex Monroe Doctrine (1820s) Manifest Destiny Monroe Doctrine (1870) Banana Republics The Naval Act of 1890 KEY PEOPLE: Sec. of State William H. Seward Commodore Matthew C. Perry Minor C. Keith Captain Alfred T. Mahan Senator Henry Cabot Lodge & Frederick Jackson Turner Congregationalist minister Josiah Strong & Senator Albert J. Beveridge

Why Imperialism Developed Military Factor Growing navies need new naval bases worldwide. Economic Factor Manufacturing nations need more natural resources & markets. Why Imperialism Developed Nationalist Factor Nationalism drives countries to compete for new colonies. Humanitarian Factor Westerners believe in spreading Western ideas and Christianity.

European nations such as England, Spain, France, Russia, Portugal, Germany, and Belgium had already carved up Africa and large parts of Asia into colonies and "spheres of influence" by the late 1800s. To remain competitive, the United States reacted to European imperialism by looking for a way to secure its own economic future through a policy of expansionism.

AFRICA WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY TAKEN OVER BY EUROPEAN NATIONS.

Definition and Examples Traditional foreign policy Definition of imperialism Reasons and rationalizations for imperialism

TRADITIONAL UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY WAS ISOLATIONIST FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS: GEORGE WASHINGTON IN 1796 CAUTIONED THE NATION TO STAY OUT OF WORLD (EUROPEAN) AFFAIRS AND NOT GET INVOLVED IN THEIR WARS. “It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world” FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS: GEORGE WASHINGTON IN 1796 CAUTIONED THE NATION TO STAY OUT OF WORLD (EUROPEAN) AFFAIRS AND NOT GET INVOLVED IN THEIR WARS. IT WAS US FOREIGN POLICY TO AVOID THESE ENTANGLEMENTS AFTER WW I. US POLICY. PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON, 1796

The Monroe Doctrine of 1823 defined United States foreign policy in the Americas for the rest of the nineteenth century and beyond. It declared that the United States had an interest in the Western Hemisphere and that European powers must not meddle in the affairs of any developing nations there. The United States was a young nation in 1823 and did not really have the power to back up the Monroe Doctrine. However, the policy was used to justify the sending of U.S. troops into Mexico in 1866 (to intimidate the French) and the purchase of Alaska in 1867.

The idea of manifest destiny gained popularity in the 1830s and 1840s The idea of manifest destiny gained popularity in the 1830s and 1840s. (The term was coined in 1845 by newspaper columnist John L. O'Sullivan.) As people began settling the western territories, wresting control of the land from the original Native American inhabitants, many Americans came to believe that it was their nation's "manifest destiny" to possess all of the North American continent. Later in the century, this idea easily gave way to larger dreams of expanding America's influence around the world.

Most of the 19th century was spent exploring and settling the western frontier of the united states, this changed the perception of American boundaries MENTION MANIFEST DESTINY AS A DRIVING FORCE IN AMERICANS CONQUERING THE CONTINENT.

“Manifest destiny” extended beyond the borders of the united states U.S. overseas possessions

Commodore Perry arrived in Japan in 1853 and opened it for trade Commodore Perry arrived in Japan in 1853 and opened it for trade.

As a team, Complete the t-chart below by listing the political, economic, social, religious, humanitarian, and strategic arguments for and against imperialism. Imperialists/Expansionists Anti-Imperialists/Expansionists

Arguments for U.S. Expansion Promoting Economic Growth Overproduction of food and goods led to financial panics & depressions. Workers & farmers convince business & political leaders that the U.S. must secure new markets abroad. Protecting American Security Naval officers joined with business interests to convince Congress to build modern steam-powered, steel-hulled ships to protect overseas trade. Alfred T. Mahan argued that the nation’s economic future hinged on gaining new markets abroad. He believed the U.S. needed a powerful navy to protect these markets from foreign rivals. “He who controls the seas, controls the world.” A.T.Mahan

COAL BURNING BATTLESHIP ALFRED THAYER MAHAN COALING STATION THAYER MAHAN, HE WROTE THE INFLUENCE OF SEA POWER UPON HISTORY, 1660-1783, STATED THAT GREAT NATIONS WERE ALWAYS SEAFARING NATIONS WITH POWERFUL NAVIES, FROM THIS HE REASONED THE US NEEDED TO ACQUIRE COLONIES AROUND THE WORLD TO SERVICE AND PROTECT THEIR MERCHANT MARINE AND NAVY. COALING STATIONS WERE NEEDED TO REFUEL COAL BURNING WARSHIPS PROTECING MERCHANT SHIPPING. Alfred T. Mahan, wrote The Influence of Sea Power Upon History 1660-1783, stated that great nations were always seafaring nations with powerful navies. From this he reasoned the US needed to acquire colonies around the world to service and protect their Merchant Marine and Navy. Coaling stations were needed to refuel coal burning warships protecting merchant shipping.

Arguments for U.S. Expansion Preserving American Spirit Statesmen feared that the U.S. was losing its vitality. They worried that the closing of the frontier would sap the nation’s energy. They argued that a quest for an empire might restore the country’s pioneer spirit. Racial Superiority This was an age when many intellectuals believed that certain racial and national groups were superior to others. Leaders used the doctrine of social Darwinism to justify the takeover of new territories. For some leaders, the civilizations produced by Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic (Germanic) peoples wee superior to the societies they conquered. Social Darwinists believed that expansionism was not only this nation’s destiny but also a noble pursuit, for it introduced Christianity & modern civilization to other “heathen” peoples around the world.

SOCIAL DARWINISM Based on Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and the survival of the fittest but applied to society and politics. The wealthy are the strong and therefore have the right to rule the poor who are weak. The united states as a strong nation must dominate the weaker nations. SOCIAL DARWININSM, RULE OF THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, AMERICA, AS A FIT OR STRONG NATION, MUST DOMINATE THE WEAKER NATIONS OF THE PLANET. ESSENTIALLY IF YOUR ARE RICH AND POWERFUL YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DOMINATE THE POOR AND WEAK. ANGLO-SAXON, NAME FOR THE PEOPLE OF ENGLISH ANCESTRY, AMERICANS AS WELL AS BRITISH. AT THE TIME MANY IN THESE NATIONS BELIEVED THAT ANGLO-SAXONS WERE DESTINED TO DOMINATE THE WORLD DUE TO THEIR SUPERIOR RACE AND CULTURE. philosopher Herbert Spencer who developed the theory of social Darwinism

Missionary zeal, the desire to convert “heathen, non-believers” led to people moving to “uncivilized” areas in hopes of helping natives
