The document discusses the growing imperialist attitudes of Western powers in the late 19th century. It outlines several economic, political, social, and religious motivations for the expansion of European colonial empires. Key points included the need for new markets and raw materials due to industrialization, nationalism and prestige, concerns about surplus populations, and a sense of white racial and cultural superiority. The document argues these factors justified the control and development of territories inhabited by "backward" native peoples in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific.

Bound for Goo-Goo Land
The euphoria that gripped Cubans in the last days of 1898 was almost
beyond imagination. Their country had been racked by rebellion for
thirty years, the last few filled with terrible suffering. That summer, as
their uprising reached a crescendo, American troops had arrived to help
them deliver the death blow that ended three centuries of Spanish rule.
Now, with the victory finally won, Cuban patriots and their American
comrades were preparing for the biggest party in the island's history.
Leaders of "revolutionary patriotic committees" in Havana planned a
full week of festivities, to begin on New Year's Day. There would be
grand balls, boat races, fireworks, public speeches, and a gala dinner in
honor of the victorious rebel commanders. Thousands of Cuban sol-
diers would march through the streets to receive the cheers of a grateful
nation.
Just as the celebration was to begin, however, the newly named Amer-
ican military governor of Cuba, General John Brooke, made a stunning
announcement. He forbade the entire program. Not only would there
be no parade of Cuban soldiers, but any who tried to enter Havana
would be turned back. Furthermore, the general declared, the United
States did not recognize the rebel army and wished it to disband.
This abrupt turnaround outraged Cuban patriots, especially the thou-
sands who had fought so long and tenaciously for independence. The
United States snatched their great prize, independence, away from them
at the last moment. As years passed, they and their descendants would
watch in mounting frustration as their new overlord used various means,
including the imposition of tyrants, to keep control of Cuba.
Cubans were among the first people to feel the effect of the profound
changes that reshaped the American psyche at the end of the nineteenth

century. This was the moment when, with remarkable suddenness,
Americans ceased to be satisfied with holding territory on the North
American mainland. They became consumed with a grand new idea,
that of a United States whose influence extended around the world. In
the words of the historian Louis Perez, 1898 was "a watershed year, a
moment in which outcomes were both defining and decisive, at once an
end and a beginning: that special conjuncture of historical circumstances
that often serves to delineate one historical epoch from another."
Territorial expansion was nothing new to Americans. They had been
pushing westward ever since the first settlers arrived at Jamestown and
Plymouth. In the process they appropriated a great continent, killing or
displacing nearly all of its native inhabitants. During the 1840s, in their
first burst of imperial war, they seized half of Mexico. Many came to
believe that the United States had a "manifest destiny" to occupy and
settle all the land bounded by Canada, the Gulf of Mexico, and the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The idea of going farther, th.
There were four main reasons that motivated the U.S. to become an imperial power in the late 19th century: 1) Economic motivations including the need for new markets and resources to fuel industrial growth; 2) Military and political motivations to build American influence and naval power to compete with European empires; 3) Cultural and ideological beliefs in social Darwinism and the white man's burden to spread American civilization; 4) Nationalist motivations as the closing of the western frontier threatened American identity and prosperity.
The document summarizes 500 years of Cuban history from the indigenous Taínos people to modern times. It covers the Spanish conquest and colonization in the 1500s, the establishment of the slave plantation economy, the Ten Years' War and Cuban independence movement in the late 1800s, the Spanish-American War and US occupation in the late 1890s, the Cuban Republic from 1902-1959 including the Machado and Batista dictatorships, the Cuban Revolution led by Fidel Castro from the 1950s onward, the revolutionary government and policies in the 1960s including nationalization, literacy campaigns and conflicts with the US, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and more recent periods of economic crisis followed by cultural and educational campaigns.
This document provides background information on American imperialism from 1880-1920. It discusses the racial attitudes of the time that viewed whites as superior and justified expanding American influence. Key events that expanded US territory included the Spanish-American War, which resulted in America acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from Spain, as well as influencing Cuba. The US annexation of Hawaii in 1898 is also summarized. Resistance to US rule emerged from Filipinos and Hawaiians who wanted independence.
The document discusses America's emergence as an imperial power between 1890-1920. It outlines three factors that fueled American imperialism: the desire for military strength, the thirst for new markets, and the belief in cultural superiority. Key events discussed include the Spanish-American War, which resulted in America gaining colonies like Puerto Rico and the Philippines, as well as playing a larger role in Latin America and establishing policies like the Roosevelt Corollary and Dollar Diplomacy. The construction of the Panama Canal further extended America's global economic and military reach during this time period.
The US became interested in expanding overseas in the late 1800s due to increasing industrialization and new ideas about Anglo-Saxon dominance. While the US had previously followed an isolationist foreign policy, it now sought new international markets and felt pressure to join European imperialism in Africa and Asia. This expansionism was also driven by a sense of national destiny and the belief that America had a duty to civilize other peoples. The US annexed Hawaii in 1898 and went to war with Spain over Cuba the same year, acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines as a result. However, governing the Philippines led to a debate over whether America should become an imperial power in conflict with its republican ideals.
The document discusses America's expansion overseas in the late 19th century after abandoning isolationism. It explores the economic, strategic, and cultural motivations for expansion, including the Spanish-American War which resulted in the U.S. acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. Debate ensued over whether to grant independence to the new territories or adopt an imperialist policy, with opponents arguing it violated American ideals.

1) In the late 19th century, American attitudes toward overseas expansion shifted from opposition to support due to growing fears of being left behind economically by European imperial powers.
2) This contributed to the U.S. annexation of Hawaii in 1898 and sparked the Spanish-American War, through which the U.S. gained control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.
3) In the early 20th century, under the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, the U.S. frequently intervened militarily in Latin America and the Caribbean to protect its economic and strategic interests, often putting dictators in power, though failing to establish stable democracies.
The document discusses America's expansion overseas in the late 19th century following the closing of the western frontier. It explores the forces pushing for overseas expansion, including commercial interests in new markets and raw materials, strategic military interests, and beliefs in cultural superiority. The Spanish-American War of 1898 resulted in the U.S. acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. This raised debates around U.S. imperialism and whether territorial expansion abroad violated principles of self-government and democracy.
The document summarizes major events and developments in American history from 1492 to 1968. It discusses early European exploration and settlement by Spain, France and England. It then covers the formation of the 13 colonies, the American Revolution, establishment of the US, westward expansion, the Civil War and abolition of slavery. It also discusses industrialization, immigration, the Great Depression, World Wars, and the civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X to combat racial discrimination and segregation.
Native American Colonization Research PaperRenee Jones
The document discusses the effects of European colonization on native populations in North and South America between the 15th and 19th centuries. It describes how Europeans established colonies in Central America, Canada, and the Caribbean for different economic reasons. In Central America, the Spanish conquered the Aztec Empire and established Mexico City. In Canada, no empires were overthrown and fishing became important. Overall, European colonization had both positive and negative consequences for native populations, including dependence on European goods, exposure to diseases, and disruption of traditional ways of life.
1) By the late 1800s, several factors drove the US toward imperialism, including seeking new markets and resources overseas as well as ideas of Anglo-Saxon dominance.
2) The Spanish-American War in 1898 resulted in the US acquiring former Spanish colonies like Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines.
3) While the US sought to grant Cuba independence, it encountered resistance when annexing the Philippines, leading to a brutal war that lasted until 1902 as the US solidified its control over its new empire.
The US became a world power in the late 1800s for several reasons: 1) Business leaders sought new overseas markets as trade barriers rose in Europe. 2) Social Darwinism and Anglo-Saxonism convinced many Americans they should dominate the world. 3) Growing European imperialism threatened US security. The Spanish-American War in 1898 marked the US emergence as a power, as the US defeated Spain and gained colonies like Puerto Rico and the Philippines, sparking a debate about imperialism.
The document discusses the United States' increasing involvement in international affairs in the late 19th century. It describes how the US expanded its influence through territorial acquisitions like Alaska and island groups in the Pacific, as well as military and political interventions in China, Hawaii, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. By the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, the US had established itself as a world power controlling new overseas colonies and influencing the geopolitics of Asia.

The document discusses various aspects of American imperialism between the late 1800s and early 1900s. It provides background on the Spanish-American War, including the humanitarian justification for intervening in Cuba, the sinking of the USS Maine, and the role of yellow journalism in stirring public support for the war. As a result of the war, the US gained control of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines. The document also discusses the US acquisition of Hawaii and Alaska, as well as America's growing influence in China through the Open Door policy and involvement in the Philippines through the Philippine-American War.
Political Developments In South America.pptxSowmiyaSathya
The document summarizes political developments in South America from pre-colonial civilizations like the Maya, Inca, and Aztec empires, to European colonialization led by Spain and Portugal. It then discusses independence revolutions led by figures like Toussaint L'Ouverture, Simon Bolivar, and Pedro I. The document also outlines United States imperialism in the region in the late 19th century through policies like the Monroe Doctrine, Roosevelt Corollary, and Dollar Imperialism. It concludes with the Great Depression's impact and Roosevelt's Good Neighbor Policy in the early 20th century.
The document provides a summary of United States history from colonial times to the post-World War II era. It discusses the country's founding by European colonists, the displacement and mistreatment of indigenous peoples, the establishment of slavery, the American Revolution, westward expansion and the Civil War, the Jim Crow era and civil rights movement, industrialization, the Great Depression, U.S. entry into World Wars I and II, and postwar economic growth. Key events and developments that shaped the country are highlighted, along with ongoing social and political challenges around issues like race, equality, and treatment of minorities.
Farmers in the late 1800s faced economic hardships like falling prices and increased farm foreclosures. They organized groups like the Grange and Farmers' Alliance to address these issues and fight high railroad rates. This led to the growth of the Populist movement which advocated for policies like increased money supply and federal loans to help farmers. The Panic of 1893 exacerbated the farm crisis and strengthened calls for bimetallism over the gold standard. This divided the country between gold bugs and silverites and was a key issue in William Jennings Bryan's 1896 presidential campaign which advocated for silver. While Bryan lost, the Populist movement brought attention to farmers' problems and began a period of agricultural reform.
Based on the context clues in the passage, Roosevelt is responding to European interference in Latin American affairs. The passage discusses the Roosevelt Corollary, which allowed the U.S. to intervene in Latin America to maintain stability, in addition to mentioning the Monroe Doctrine which opposed European influence in the Western Hemisphere.
The document discusses America's expansion into imperialism between 1867-1900. It summarizes that increasing global competition led the US to acquire new overseas territories like Hawaii and Alaska.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

DEFINITION OF IMPERIALISM
4. “NEW” IMPERIALISM
•Beginning circa 1875
•Renewed race for colonies
•Spurred by needs created by the Industrial
Revolution
•New markets for finished goods
•New sources of raw materials
Europe began the imperialistic movement
first and the US followed not long after.
5. •No longer about setting up colonies or
exercising direct control over areas

economic gain
•Spheres of influence and extraterritoriality
rather than colonial settlement

•new businesses and industries to invest money in
To protect their investment European countries
set up protectorates. A protectorate is country in
which the imperial country allows the local rulers
to stay in control and protected them against
rebellion or invasion. In return these local rulers
had to accept advice from the imperial nation
about how to run their country.
7. POLITICAL MOTIVES

Most of the 19th century was spent exploring and settling the
western frontier of the United States. This made some Americans
believe the U.S. ought to takeover the entire continent. This belief
is called Manifest Destiny.

“Today we are raising more than we can consume.
Today we are making more than we can use...
Therefore we must find new markets for our produce,
new occupation for our capital, new work for our
labor... Ah! As our commerce spreads, the flag of
liberty will circle the globe and the highway of the
ocean - carrying trade to all mankind - will be
guarded by the guns of the republic. And as their
thunders salute the flag, benighted (ignorant)
peoples will know that the voice of liberty is
speaking, at last, for them... that civilization is
dawning at last, for them.”

The U.S. public was especially
sympathetic towards women
in Cuba. Hearst focused on a
young woman, known in the
United States as Evangelina
Cisneros, who was
imprisoned in Havana.
Petitions for her freedom
were signed by prominent
U.S. women and the Pope,
and addressed to the Queen
Regent of Spain. Evangelina
managed to escape with the
help of correspondent Karl
Decker, who probably bribed
her guards. The story
presented to the public was
that of a heroic "journalist
that acts."

Teller Amendment, 1898
Joint resolution for the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba,
demanding that the Government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in
the Island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval
forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect.
Whereas the abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in
the Island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the
people of the United States, have been a disgrace to Christian civilization,
culminating, as they have, in the destruction of a United States battle ship, with two
hundred and sixty-six of its officers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of
Havana, and can not longer be endured, as has been set forth by the President of the
United States in his message to Congress of April eleventh, eighteen hundred and
ninety-eight, upon which the action of Congress was invited:
Therefore,
Resolved, First. That the people of the Island of Cuba are, of right ought to be, free
and independent.
Second. That it is the duty of the United States to demand, and the Government of the
United States does hereby demand, that the Government of Spain at once relinquish
its authority and government in the Island of Cuba and withdraw its land and naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
Third. That the President of the United States be, and he hereby is, directed and
empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States, and to call
into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several States, to such
extent as may be necessary to carry these resolutions into effect.
Fourth. That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to
exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction, or control over said Island except for the
pacification thereof, and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to
leave the government and control of the Island to its people.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF IMPERIALISM IN THE
PHILIPPINES
Senator Alfred Beveridge (R-Indiana)
From a speech in Congress on January 9, 1900.
. . . [Just beyond the Philippines are China's illimitable markets. . . We will
not renounce our part in the mission of our race, trustee of God, of the
civilization of the world. . . Where shall we turn for consumers of our
surplus?. . . China is our natural customer. . . [England, Germany and
Russia] have moved nearer to China by securing permanent bases on
her borders. The Philippines gives us a base at the door of all the East.
. . They [the Filipinos] are a barbarous race, modified by three
centuries of contact with a decadent race [the Spanish]. . . It is barely
possible that 1,000 men in all the archipelago are capable of self-
government in the Anglo-Saxon sense. . . The Declaration [of
Independence] applies only to people capable of self-government.
How dare any man prostitute this expression of the very elect of self-
government peoples to a race of Malay children of barbarism,
schooled in Spanish methods and ideas? And you, who say the
Declaration applies to all men, how dare you deny its application to
the American Indian? And if you deny it to the Indian at home, how
dare you grant it to the Malay abroad. 56

“…we do not intend to

the Philippines our Nation
neither adds to its strength
nor secures broader
opportunities for the American
people.”

THEODORE ROOSEVELT (1858-1919)
TWENTY-SIXTH PRESIDENT
1901-1909: REPUBLICAN
"I declined to adopt the view that
what was imperatively necessary
for the Nation could not be done
by the President unless he could
find some specific authorization to
do it. My belief was that it was not
only [a President's] right but his
duty to do anything that the needs
of the Nation demanded unless
such action was forbidden by the
Constitution or by the laws. . . . I
did not usurp power, but I did
greatly broaden the use of
executive power. In other words,
I acted for the public welfare, I
acted for the common well-being
of all our people, whenever and in
whatever manner was necessary,
unless prevented by direct
constitutional or legislative
prohibition."

Commodore Perry arrived in Japan in 1853 and
opened it for trade. Japan realized that they must
adopt some western ways or become a conquered
nation. Scholars were sent abroad to study and within
50 years Japan was an industrial power.

“We have become a great nation,
forced by the fact of its greatness
into relations with the other
nations of the earth, and we must
behave as beseems a people with
such responsibilities. We must
show not only in our words, but in
our deeds, that we are earnestly
desirous of securing their good will
by acting toward them in a spirit of
just and generous recognition of
all their rights. But justice and
generosity in a nation, as in an
individual, count most when shown
not by the weak but by the strong.
No weak nation that acts manfully
and justly should ever have cause
to fear us, and no strong power
should ever be able to single us out
as a subject for insolent
aggression.”

Dollar diplomacy
President William
Howard Taft
“The diplomacy of the present
administration has sought to
respond to modern ideas of
commercial intercourse. This
policy has been characterized
as substituting dollars for
bullets. It is one that appeals
alike to idealistic humanitarian
sentiments, to the dictates of
sound policy and strategy, and
to legitimate commercial aims.
It is an effort frankly directed
to the increase of American
trade upon the axiomatic
principle that the government
of the United States shall
extend all proper support to
every legitimate and beneficial
American enterprise abroad.”
Taft, 1912
106. 106
“There has been something crude and
heartless and unfeeling in our haste to
succeed and be great. Our thought has
been "Let every man look out for
himself, let every generation look out
for itself," while we reared giant
machinery which made it impossible
that any but those who stood at the
levers of control should have a chance
to look out for themselves. We had not
forgotten our morals. We remembered
well enough that we had set up a
policy which was meant to serve the
humblest as well as the most powerful,
with an eye single to the standards of
justice and fair play, and remembered
it with pride. But we were very
heedless and in a hurry to be great.”
