The document discusses the "Six Ds of Imperialism" that motivated U.S. imperialism according to McKinley's decision to annex the Philippines. The six Ds are: Dollars (seeking new markets), Defense (protecting economic interests), Democracy (spreading political ideals), Darwinism (survival of the fittest mentality applied to nations), Destiny (manifest destiny outside U.S. borders), and Deity (spreading Christianity). Students will analyze political cartoons in groups and identify which of the six Ds the cartoons relate to.
