American Imperialism

Imperialism Imperialism: Is the economic and political domination of a strong country nation over weaker ones. The idea of imperialism originally started in Europe where countries were trying to expand their power base.

European expansion European countries began to expand into other parts of the world for a few reasons: 1. A lack of raw materials for growing industry. 2.High tariffs reduced the trade between countries. 3. Investment opportunities had slowed down. Other countries eventually either developed into colonies or protectorates. Protectorate: An imperial power allows local rulers to stay in control and be protected against rebellion.

Take a moment Consider what we have been talking about. How would you feel if you lived in one of the countries that was a protectorate of Europe? How would you possibly view your government? Is there anything could do to change things?

In Class Why did the United States become involved in imperialism? In what ways do Anglo-Saxonism, Manifest Destiny, and Building a modern Navy relate to U.S. expansion?

Reasons for U.S. Expansion The United States was industrializing. For along time expansion for the U.S. meant expanding into the west. As the western frontier filled the next option for economic expansion was an overseas market. Also the U.S. felt that they had to compete with Europe or they might become weaker overtime. Under Social Darwinism only the strongest country would survive.

Anglo-Saxonism John Fiske looked at the idea of Social Darwinism and expanded upon it. Anglo-Saxonism: A popular idea in both Britain and America. Based around the idea that that English Speaking nations had superior Character ideas and systems of government.

The Modern Navy Aside Anglo-Saxonism Reverend Josiah Smith termed the idea of Manifest Destiny. Manifest Destiny: The idea that America was destined by God to spread its influence around the world. The United States based on demand built a modern Navy to compete with foreign interest.

Why are the idea of Anglo Saxonism and Manifest Destiny important ideas when it comes to the expansion of U.S. diplomacy.
