As a result, British losses were high as a result of both disease and combat. Second, the policies of " scorched earth " and civilian internment (concentra tion camps) ra vaged the civilian populations in the Transvaal and the Orange Free State.

124. U.S. enters the imperialism game...they did enter a little late
126. U.S. Imperialism - 1890s the US has emerged from the civil war - late to industrial revolution but exploding with factories, industrial growth, cheap labor (massive immigration to the US in the late 1880s) - like other European powers, looking for markets to sell their goods to - like other European powers, looking for prestige and to secure place in the global trade
127. U.S. Imperialism We enter into the Spanish American War of 1898
128. U.S. Imperialism Spain owns Cuba and the Philippines No European country owns Hawaii (except for those pesky Hawaiians) and American pineapple producers (like Mr. Dole- Dole as in bananas....) have lots of money invested there. We take over Hawaii. (it makes a nice refueling point across the Pacific)
129. U.S. Imperialism - Cuba is a Spanish colony - the locals, under poet Jose Marti, cry for independence and freedom - that sounds good to the US - after all we fought a revolution for the same thing - also, 90% of the sugar output from Cuba comes from Americans who own plantations there - the US calls for Cuba’s freedom
130. U.S. Imperialism Remember the Maine! - USS Maine- an American ship in harbor of Cuba - mysteriously sinks (later it is determined it was a coal explosion in the ship’s hold) - US blames Spanish terrorists in Cuba and uses as excuse to declare war on Spanish colonies (Cuba, Philippines)
131. U.S. Imperialism - We declare war on Spain but the first battle occurs in Spanish colony of the Philippines (we happened to be in the neighborhood at the time) - We take the main city of Manilla within hours, no injuries. We’ve freed the Filipinos -except not: it is a good refueling place for trade with the east (China, Japan) - We end up fighting the Filipinos ourselves and occupying the islands until 1946. - They aren’t completely independent until 1946 (after they served their use for us in WWII)
133. U.S. Imperialism By 1900 the “splendid little war” of the Spanish-American War of 1898 is over. Americans own: * Cuba (it is a protectorate) * Puerto Rico (protectorate) * Guam (colony?) * Philippines (it is a colony) * Hawaii (it is a protectorate) * Panama Canal land (makes a handy shortcut from the US east coast to the Pacific - no need to go around South America anymore) * Samoa (colony)

154. Open Door Notes US demands that China open its trade to America (since the other countries were already there) US Secretary of State John Hay created this policy
• No better image of the queen's place in the domestic and imperial imagination of England and the English is to be found than that in Thomas Jones Barker's painting The Secret of England's Greatness ( 1863 ). Here the woman in white—commanding the painting's light—presents the gift of Christianity to a bowing, exotically clothed African who is half in shadow. A domestic angel brings the foundation of English national power, the Bible, to a world elsewhere. The work of national and international home building and of cultural construction is consolidated in the image of the queen in white “saving” her black subject. In this painting we see why the period deserves its name, the Victorian age.
