7. Why did the Spanish American War begin? What were its results?

Causes of the War… Spanish colonies fighting for independence – Cuba, Philippines US journalists reported about the fighting (yellow press) US had economic interests in Cuba US battleship was sunk (U.S.S. Maine)

Results of the War US became a world power – gained Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Guam from Spain for $20 million Cuba became a protectorate of the US Rebellion in Philippines – 3 year war with US

8. How did new societies emerge in Canada, Australia and New Zealand?

Canada Britain gradually & peacefully allowed freedom while still controlling foreign policy & trade In the mid 1800s became a dominion – self governing nation

Australia British penal colony – prison Later granted free land to settlers Gold rush caused population boom Ranchers & farmers Pushed out the native Aborigines (~Natives in US) Granted self-gov’t, but kept close ties to Britain

New Zealand Similar to Canada & Australia – gained independence peacefully and maintained close ties to England Native population – Maori – farmers – fought for their land, devastated by English

9. How did Latin America respond to the growth of American influence in their region?

20 separate nations Many tried to model their gov’t after the US but most failed Political & social hierarchy remained same, church kept power US became more involved and Latin Am. felt threatened

Monroe Doctrine – US foreign policy for most of the 1800s; warned Europe to stay out of Latin America and the US would stay out of Europe Roosevelt Corollary – addition to the M.D.; promised the US would get involved in Latin Am. if necessary

Panama Canal Colombia refused to sell land to US to build a canal to connect Atlantic & Pacific US helped Panama revolt against Colombia Panama allowed US to begin building the canal
