4. Imperialists Activity
Imperialism- the extension of nation’s power over other lands.
Causes of Imperialism:
Industrial Revolution
Naval Bases
Ideologies such as nationalism, Social Darwinism, and culture superiority
Desire for more territory
Spread Christian faith and democratic values
The Industrial Revolution had increased wealth in many nations, causing them to look elsewhere for markets and opportunities for investment.
An increase in trade had brought about the rise of large navies to protect trading interests. These navies needed strategically placed bases for refueling and repairs.
Ideologies such as Social Darwinism justified European expansion into Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Culture Superiority: B/c Africa, Asia, and Latin America had less industry and urban development, they seemed “backward” to many Europeans and Americans in the late 1800s.
Desire for more territory: By the late 1800s, European imperial powers had taken control of vast territories in Africa and Asia and dominated the economy of Latin America. The British Empire alone ruled about one-quarter of the world’s land and population. Many Americans began to believe it was time for the US to claim its own territories aboard.
Imperialists: Great Britain ,Japan ,France, Germany ,Belgium

5. Taking Control of Hawaii
Ideal spot for coaling stations and naval bases
King Kalakaua negotiated a treaty that made Hawaiian sugar cheap to import to the U.S.
American expansionists became interested in acquiring Hawaii in the late 1800s. Located some 2,000 miles form California, Hawaii was an ideal spot for coaling stations and naval bases for ships traveling to an from Asia.
British explorer James Cook first visited Hawaii in 1778.
In the 1820s American ships began arriving w/ some frequency, bringing traders and missionaries. Soon, missionaries and their families began to settle down and raise crops, particularly sugarcane. As more and more Americans came to the islands, investors in the sugarcane industry began increasing their control. Sugar planters became very wealthy.
The sugar industry grew and gained influence and control.
King Kalakaua (became king in 1874 and by this time US had control over the land and economy) negotiated a treaty that made Hawaiian sugar cheap to import to the United States.

6. Taking Control of Hawaii
Hawaiian League
Formed by a group of American business leaders, planters, and traders
Overthrow the monarchy & establish a democracy under the control of Americans.
Bayonet Constitution
Hawaiian League forced king to sign in June 1887.
Restricted the King’s power & deprived most Hawaiian’s of the vote.
A group of American business leaders, planters, and traders formed a secret society called the Hawaiian League. Its purpose was to overthrow the monarchy and establish a democracy in Hawaii under the control of Americans.
In 1886 the US wanted the port of Pearl Harbor in exchange for renewing the sugar treaty. But the King refused to give up independence to any part of Hawaii. Angered, the Hawaiian league forced the King to sign a new constitution at gunpoint in June 1887.
The King was forced to give Pearl Harbor to the US. American sugar planters now had political control over Hawaii.
In 1890 the US revoked the sugar treaty in order to support sugar producers on the US mainland. American sugar producers in Hawaii believed they had one option to protect their business- become part of the US.
Sugar planters overthrew Queen Liliuokalani with the help of the U.S. marines.
Sugar tycoon Sanford Dole became president of the Republic of Hawaii.
Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1898.

7. End of Monarchy Sugar planters overthrew Queen Liliuokalani
Sanford B. Dole- president of the Republic of Hawaii.
Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1898
In 1959 Hawaii became the fiftieth state
When King Kalakaua died in 1891, his sister Liliuokalani became queen. She wanted to do away with the bayonet constitution.
John L. Stevens, the American Minister to Hawaii, decided he would help the rebel sugar planters. W/o authorization, he order 4 boatloads of US Marines to go ashore. They took up positions around the royal place, aiming machine guns and cannons at the building. The Rebels then declared an end to the monarchy. Queen surrender on Jan. 17, 1893
Sugar planters overthrew Queen Liliuokalani with the help of the U.S. marines.
Sugar tycoon Sanford Dole became president of the Republic of Hawaii.
Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1898.

8. Open Door Policy and China
Secretary of State John Hay proposed the Open Door Policy in 1899.
Aim was to give all nations equal trading rights in China.
Boxers began attacking foreign missionaries and Chinese Christians.
Russia, France, Germany, and Great Britain quickly carved out their own sphere of influence. The United States was too late to secure a sphere of influence.
American traders had been traveling to China since 1784.
China stayed nearly isolated from the rest of the world. It strictly controlled foreign trade, allowing foreign traders in one port.
Sphere of Influence is a geographic area where an outside nation exerts special economic or political control.
American leaders feared the US would be shut out of valuable China trade.

9. Open Door Policy and China
Increased foreign presence in China led to the Boxer Rebellion.
With foreign countries now vying for business in China, antiforeigner sentiments grew. A secret group called the Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists-known to westerners has Boxers-began attacking foreign missionaries and Chinese Christians.
In June 1900 the Boxers laid siege to the capital of Beijing in what became known has the Boxer Rebellion.
Western nations cooperated to quell the rebellion and continue exploitation of Chinese trade.
Western nations rushed 20,000 troops-including 2,000 Americans- to China. They soon quelled the rebellion, and a year later, in September 1901, China signed a humbling settlement agreement.
Boxer Rebellion increased support for Hay’s Open Door Policy.

10. Influence in Japan
Commodore Matthew Perry brought 4 steamships into Tokyo Bay in 1853.
In 1854 Japan opened trade with U.S.
Until Japan seized Taiwan from China in 1895, no one would have thought of the Chinese as imperialists. Since the late 1630s, the country had been inward looking, shutting itself off from nearby all foreign contact.
Japan was isolated and unindustrialized until the mid-1800s.
President Millard Fillmore sent Commodore Matthew Perry brought four steamships into Tokyo Bay in 1853 to pressure Japan to open its ports to trade.
Japan was not yet industrialized, and Japanese people had never seen steamships before. They were awed at the demonstration of American naval strength.
Japan knew that it could not defend itself against a modern day navy. It also realized it could no longer maintain its isolated position in the world.
Japan then embarked on a program of rapid modernization. It transformed itself into an industrial power and built a strong military.
After taking Taiwan, Japan began eyeing Korea and the Chinese providence of Manchuria. Russia, meanwhile also wanted these lands.
Japan quickly became an industrial and military power to compete with the West.

11. Russo- Japanese War Broke out in 1904 Causes: Japan defeated Russia
Japan began to eye Korea and Manchuria
Russia also interested in areas
Japan defeated Russia
Russia poorly equipped and poorly trained.
At Japan’s request, President Theodore Roosevelt helped negotiate a peace treaty. He met w/ representatives of the two countries in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and hampered out a compromise. Roosevelt received the Nobel Prize for his efforts in negotiating the Treaty of Portsmouth.
Japan was the clear victor in the war w/ Russia, and it emerged as a major power. It was now the strongest power in East Asia and a rival to the U.S. For influence in China and the Pacific region. American leaders knew that Japan remained hungry for territory. It had fewer natural resources than other imperialists nations. In addition, the Japanese government wanted to expand territorially in order to counterbalance U.S> expansion in the Pacific. Roosevelt decided to impress upon Japan- and the rest of the world- just how powerful the U.S. military was. In 1907 he sent 4 squadrons battleships, known as the Great White Fleet, on a 43,000 mile, around the world journey. Led by Rear Admiral Charles Sperry, the fleet stopped at 20 ports on six continent, including a port in Japan, before returning home in 1909
