How did the U.S. deal with its new territorial possessions at the beginning of the 20 th century ?

Spanish-American War Driven by the “Yellow Press” Pulitzer and Hearst Hearst – “You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.” Explosion of the U.S.S. Maine makes war inevitable

U.S. victory and the 1898 Treaty of Paris Puerto Rico and Guam become American possessions Cuba would be independent (protectorate) The Philippines would be annexed Hawaii would also be annexed * (not part of the treaty)

Puerto Rico Foraker Act- gave U.S. power to appoint governor Two-house legislature established Constitution is drafted Commonwealth status U.S. handles external affairs still

Cuba Independence is “hazy” Unofficial status as a protectorate Platt Amendment- series of provisions that gave the U.S. authority to make major decisions for Cuba

Cuba (con’t) Economic and military domination Troops sent back and forth to support political groups 90% of Cuba’s foreign trade was with U.S. Strategic importance of Cuba always highlighted Platt Amendment abrogated, but Guantanamo Bay base remained

Hawaii Influence of U.S. dates to 1820’s Sugar plantations owned by White Businessmen Force changes in Constitution Eventually revolution led by white business interests overthrow Queen Liliuokalani►

Hawaii (con’t) Cleveland’s representative condemns action of the whites/ Cleveland calls for return of Liliuokalani instead, Republic of Hawaii is established by white plantation owners ( Sanford Dole made president) Congress resists using force against “their own” and votes to interfere no further in Hawaii 1898 –voted a territory

The Philippines Rebellion vs. Spanish had been on-going U.S. recognizes the rebels as rightful reps. of the people (led by Emilo Aguinaldo) U.S. gains control and changes its mind► bloody war of occupation ensues Independence in 1946

Insular Cases Series of Supreme Court Cases that established that the constitution did not “extend with full force to the new *” territories Gives Congress a free-hand in deals with the territories * Bailey, Thomas. The American Pageant. Houghtin-Mifflin: Boston, p.656

The Great Republic is now an Empire. Will it meet the fate of history’s other great republic ?
