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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Anti-Imperial Sentiment
From the Civil War until the
1890s, most Americans had
little interest in territorial
expansion:
Imperial rule seemed
inconsistent with America's
republican principles.
The US did not welcome
people with different
cultures, languages, and
religions.
3. Acquisition of Alaska
The exception to the rule
was Alaska. In 1867, Sec.
of State William Steward
arranged to buy Alaska.
4. European Imperialism
By the mid-1890s, a shift
had taken place in American
attitudes toward expansion.
Why? Between 1870 and
1900, the European powers
seized 10 million square
miles of territory in Africa
and Asia. About 150 million
people were subjected to
colonial rule.
5. Fear of Competition
In the United States, a
growing number of policy
makers, bankers,
manufacturers, and trade
unions grew fearful that
the country might be
closed out in the struggle
for global markets and
raw materials.
6. Belief in Darwinian Struggle
A belief that the world's
nations were engaged in a
Darwinian struggle for
survival and that countries
that failed to compete were
doomed to decline also
contributed to a new
assertiveness on the part of
the United States.
7. Dependency on Foreign Trade
By the 1890s, the
American economy was
increasingly dependent
on foreign trade.
8. A Desire for Sea Power
Alfred Thayer Mahan, a naval
strategist and the author of The
Influence of Sea Power Upon
History, argued that national
prosperity and power depended
on control of the world's sea-lanes.
"Whoever rules the
waves rules the world," Mahan
wrote.
9. The White Man’s Burden
During the late 19th
century, the idea that the
United States had a
special mission to uplift
"backward" people
around the world also
commanded growing
support.
10. A New Assertiveness
During the late 1880s,
American foreign policy
makers began to display a
new assertiveness. The
United States came close
to declaring war on
Germany, Chile, and Great
Britain.
11. The Annexation of Hawaii
In 1893, a small group of
sugar and pineapple-growing
businessmen, backed by the
U.S. military, deposed
Hawaii's queen, seized 1.75
million acres of land, and
conspired for U.S. annexation
of the islands, which was
achieved in 1898.
12. Origins of Spanish American War
The Tariff of 1894,
which put restrictions
on sugar imports to the
United States, severely
hurt the economy of
Cuba which was then a
Spanish colony. Angry
nationalists began a
revolt against the Spanish
colonial regime.
13. The USS Maine
The US, which had many
businessmen with investment
interests in Cuba, became
concerned and dispatched the
USS Maine to rescue US
citizens who might be
endangered by the conflict.
14. The Effects of Yellow Journalism
On February 15, 1898 the
Maine mysteriously blew up
and the US blamed a Spanish
mine. When the American
public was stirred into an
anti-Spain frenzy by the
yellow journalism of men
like Hearst and Pulitzer,
President McKinley gave the
OK for war.
15. Teller Amendment
Congress agreed, but
only after adopting the
Teller Amendment that
made it clear that the
United States did not
harbor imperialist
ambitions and would not
acquire Cuba.
16. Shocked by Anti-Imperialism
European leaders were
shocked by this
declaration. Britain's
Queen Victoria called
on the European power
to “unite... against such
unheard [of] conduct."
17. The Platt Amendment
After the US defeated Spain, it
passed the Platt Amendment
which gave the US the right to
intervene in Cuba to protect
"life, property, and individual
liberties." The 144-day war
also resulted in the US taking
control of the Philippines,
Puerto Rico, and Guam.
18. The Philippine American War
As a result of the
Philippine American
War, a sequel to the
Spanish American
War, Spain ceded the
Philippines to the
United States for $20
million.
19. American Atrocities
To suppress Filipino
insurgency, the American
military forcibly relocated
or burned villages,
imprisoned or killed non-combatant
civilians, and
used vicious torture
techniques (including the
water cure) on suspected
insurgents.
20.
21. Philippine Independence
During the war, more
than 4,000 American
soldiers, about 20,000
Filipino fighters, and an
estimated 200,000
Filipino civilians died.
After a long struggle, the
Filipinos received their
independence in 1946.
22. The Roosevelt Corollary
In 1904, when Germany
demanded a port in the
Dominican Republic as
compensation for an unpaid
loan, Theodore Roosevelt
announced the Roosevelt
Corollary to the Monroe
Doctrine, declaring that the United States would be
the policeman of the Caribbean and Central America.
23. Interventions in Western Hemisphere
To enforce order, forestall
foreign intervention, and protect
economic interests, the United
States intervened in the
Caribbean and Central America
some twenty times over the next
quarter century -- in Cuba, the
Dominican Republic, Haiti,
Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama.
24. American Support of Dictators
Each intervention
put into power a
dictator supportive
of American
interests (Somoza in
Nicaragua, Trujillo
in the Dominican
Republic, and
Duvalier in Haiti).
Somoza
Trujillo
Duvalier
25. Protection of American Interests
On the whole, the United
States’ actions in Latin
America protected US
commercial and strategic
interests, but the goal of
spreading democracy went
mostly unfulfilled. The
frequent use of military force
also engendered widespread
resentment in the region.
